Drivers,
pedestrians, contractors, cyclists, dog owners – all of these people use our
roads and pavements every day. With so much going on on our streets, it is
little surprise that there are areas of contention arising from their usage.
What laws apply if fairground attractions obstruct traffic; if a dangerous dog
is allowed to roam the streets without a muzzle; if a drain overflowing has led
to dangerous amounts of surface water? This book describes the laws that come
into force on a daily basis on UK streets, particularly busy roads in urban
centres, and considers numerous types of potential danger and public nuisance.
For
ease of use, each topic is listed alphabetically, and a comprehensive index
further enables easy location of the appropriate legislation.
Each
topic points to the parts of Acts which are appropriate to the topic, and
summarises effectively what the law states under each relevant Act.
This
book also investigates where liability falls, especially with relation to local
authorities, and explores the duties of local authorities in ensuring the
well-being and safety of all road users.
Lawyers
will find this an invaluable ready-reference guide when dealing with personal
injury and nuisance claims.

This is a practical guide aimed at lawyers who seek advice from experts on the technical aspects of a case or instruct expert witnesses. Expert witnesses are playing an increasingly important role in court cases, helping lawyers to investigate the facts and issues and to identify the strengths and weaknesses of cases, and preparing reports for court and giving oral evidence. Some experts, however, are inexperienced in civil procedure and could be more successfully guided by the litigator after they have been instructed.
This important new book offers comprehensive guidance to practitioners for the successful use of expert witnesses in civil proceedings, referring frequently to the requirements of the Civil Procedure Rules and decided cases. In addition to the type of questions listed opposite, the book covers the more difficult aspects of expert witness appointment: what happens when the expert changes his mind, how to deal with breach of contract by experts, when might a single joint expert be instructed and what to do if the client has problems with the expert's report.
Suzanne Burn, in association with Bond Solon Training, who run courses to train expert witnesses in all aspects of their work, has used her vast experience in training lawyers and expert witnesses to produce a companion volume to The Expert Witness in Court to help practitioners to get the very best from their experts, both in the run up to trial and in the trial itself.

First published in 1977, this book has helped literally
hundreds of thousands of drivers to pass their test. Learners find it a boon in
helping them to understand and absorb the rules in the Highway Code. Consisting
of over 400 self-test questions, with colour diagrams and illustrations, the
book is designed so that answers to questions appear on the same page, but can
be concealed while the questions are read. This unique self-testing format has
been further refined in this edition. Many driving schools purchase copies for
use by their students.

Over the past 20 years, the statutory controls applied to the
management of waste have grown from relatively modest beginnings to become one
of the most technically and legally complex areas of environmental law. This new
book has been written to provide all those with responsibilities in this area -
environmental managers, regulators and consultants - with an appreciation of the
legal issues involved in the practical application of this branch of the law.
Nevertheless, it is essentially concerned with the principles underlying these
activities and as such will be of interest to lawyers, academics and students.
The on-going developments in packaging waste, the landfill tax, contaminated
land and the transfrontier shipment of waste are included, in addition to recent
case law and published material. There are also sections on corporate liability,
the powers of inspectors, environmental information, and treatment of specific
wastes.

Following on from William Howarth's well regarded Water Pollution Law, this new book recognises that environmental law has moved swiftly on over the last decade from a preoccupation with the legal consequences of individual pollution incidents to a more purposive approach towards environmental protection. In relation to water, the key questions are about the quality of water to be met by rivers, bathing water, drinking water, etc. and the legal ramifications of a particular water failing to meet a defined standard. Water Pollution and Water Quality Law is a comprehensive study of the relevant national law and the international and European Community contexts in which this national law is placed. It provides an authoritative exposition and analysis of the law of the kind that is needed by an increasing body of legal, environmental and other practitioners who are involved in this area as part of their daily work.
All authors' royalties from the sale of Water Pollution and Water Quality Law will be donated to Water Aid.
