Family Law (Core Texts Series) - Tapa blanda

Review from previous edition This 3rd edition is a clear and concise, yet comprehensive exposition of family law. It reviews and explains new approaches to existing law. It raises new issues of, amongst others, forced marriages, the developments in the law of significant harm to children, the continuing impact of human rights and the enforceability of nuptial agreements. It is extremely readable and, although ideal for students studying family law for examinations, it would also be a useful addition to the library of any serious family lawyer. (Rt Hon Baroness Butler-Sloss, GBE PC)
