Review
'Tom Crone, with both journalistic and legal experience has written for the
journalist who may not have much legal awareness. His clear, concise, no
nonsense approach will be of immense benefit to anyone who requires a
'quick fix' of knowledge in the quite intricate area of the law covered by
this book. This book has the potential of becoming a standard text. How
can it be otherwise coming as it does with the imprimatur of
Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd?'
