4.0 out of 5 stars An acerbic (and accurate!) view of English law as-was 23 Jan 2002

By Mr. J. Jenkins

Format:Paperback

For those of us who fondly remember "Mr. Haddock" (Michael Dotrice) and the judge (Alistair Sim) in A.P. Herbert's "Misleading Cases" on T.V. this book is a must. It is somewhat dated in time but nevertheless is a good read. Many of the points in law have now changed but who cares.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic lampoons of judicial decisons from Punch. 8 Dec 1997

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

Reissued in paperback in 1997, these knowing spoofs of British courts appeared 1940-1960. Madcap Englishmen litigate divorce, compulsory schooling, using a cow as a check, etc., before judges and law lords who are as idiosyncratic as the parties to the cases. (See Herbert's biography.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be compulsory reading for lawyers/law students 21 Sep 1998

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This book is riotously funny for anyone with even a modicum of legal training. I recommend it to all of my students and peers.

5.0 out of 5 stars The law and legalese taken to the absurd is really funny! 9 Sep 1998

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

Is a flodded road a street or a waterway?? - Rumpelheimer v. Haddock -

Is marriage lawful or should it be considered kindred to (russian?) roulett or other games of chance and therefore be prohibited? - Marrowfat v. Marrowfat -

Is there a right of free speech or it true that the only freedom one has left e.g. on a public street is to pass at an even pace from ome end of it to another breathing unobtrusively through the nose and attracting no attention? - Engheim et.al. v. The King -

If these are the legal questions of everyday life or of eternal significance you would like to read about, then this book is for you.
