5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent, practical guide, 16 Nov 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The New Penguin Guide to the Law: Your Rights and the Law Explained (Penguin Reference Books) (Paperback)

This is an excellent book. The current fourth edition of the Guide to the Law has been extensively rewritten to take account of changes in the law (in particular on tenancies and divorce) and is now right up to date. I particularly like its very straightforward and accessible style - I wish all reference books were as clearly written! The book gives practical and detailed advice on the law covering the family, housing, welfare benefits, employment, the consumer, insolvency, business, motoring, personal injury, civil liberties and human rights, the English legal system, and legal jargon. Pritchard has a knack of making complex legal points clear by offering a few examples, and he lightens the book with occasional flashes of wit. The text is illustrated with numerous useful diagrams, flow charts and samples of relevant legal documents. The index is well laid out and comprehensive and the book gives sensible pointers on where to go for more detailed advice on most parts of the law. In my view this is by far the most useful and best written guide to the English law available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for the lay person, 24 Jan 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The New Penguin Guide to the Law: Your Rights and the Law Explained (Paperback)

No I haven't read it from cover to cover but if it's anything like the 1982 version it is an absolute must for anybody wanting a lay persons view of your rights and how to go about protecting them. It also gives a good understanding family disputes (divorces and seperations) and how the courts and authorities view the carving up of assets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly Useful, 30 April 2007

By	Mr. A. Sands "Sandsman" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a big book but don't let that deceive you into thinking it is full of complex legal jargon. This is amazingly resourceful and is full of practically anything you can think of. It is presented in a very clear way to make the various laws/regulations clear to you.

I place this kind of purchase as a "family must-have" sort of thing, along with a medical guide/book thing. It's not something you're going to need often but you never when it mind come in handy. Not to mention it is incredibly interesting to read about certain laws randomly! Read up on garden fences/boundaries and I guarantee that when you go outside to have a look, your fence (legally) will be the one that doesn't need replacing!
