Smith and Keenan's English Law 13 e - Cover BlurbSmith and Keenan's English Law is the classic introductory law textbook for students taking any course where an appreciation of English law is required. Its unique features are its comprehensiveness and the combined textbook/casebook format, which allows students to read the facts and decisions of over 500 cases in some depth. Smith and Keenan's English Law has a considerable reputation for reliability and accuracy, established over 40 years. It covers the main principles of the English legal system, including civil and criminal procedure, and contract, tort, employment, property and criminal law.This edition has been, of necessity, the most substantially revised in the life of the book, with major parts rewritten to cover changes in the constitution, enhanced access to justice and reform of civil procedure. Important new decisions and new legislation have been recorded in most of the areas of law covered by the book.There have been major changes to the chapters on the courts, resulting from the provisions of the Access to Justice Act 1999 and consolidation of sentencing legislation in the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000. The changing landscape of legal terminology resulting from the Woolf reforms to civil procedure has also been reflected throughout the book. The likely initial effects of the Human Rights Act 1998 on English law are also considered.The major section of the book on contract law now incorporates the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, the Competition Act 1998 and the Electronic Communications Act 2000, the provisions of which allow electronic signatures, leading to contracts being made via e-mail and the Internet. The chapter on employment rights now includes new cases and legislative developments, such as the Employment Relations Act 1999 and attendant SIs covering issues including working time, maternity leave, parental leave, time off for family emergencies and new rights for part-time employees. New developments in tort, property and criminal law in a business context are also included.Denis Keenan is a Barrister, an experienced teacher and former Head of Department of Business Studies and Law. In addition to being author of a range of market-leading textbooks, he is also legal correspondent for Accountancy magazine and Editor of Butterworths Accountants' Legal Service.Longman0 582 43816 0CWS logo
