ISBN: 1846610265 

The Employment Equality 

(Age) Regulations 2006 

come into force on 1 Oc- 

tober 2006. The aim of 

the regulations is to outlaw 

discrimination on the 

grounds of age, which is 

the most widespread form 

of discrimination in the 

workplace. For the first 

time there will be a default 

retirement age of 65 and 

employers will not be able 

to retire employees before 

that age unless it can 

be objectively justified. 

Employers must give employees 

at least 6 months’ 

notice of the intended 

retirement date, and also 

consider requests from 

employees to continue 

working beyond the age 

of 65. Age discrimination 

in recruitment, promotion 

and training will be outlawed 

and the upper age 

limit for unfair dismissal 

claims will be removed.

Poole, Jill, Casebook on 

Contract Law 8 th ed, Oxford 


ISBN: 0199290296 

This book provides a 

clear and well-structured 

explanation of the principles 

and rules of contract 

law through a comprehensive 

selection of 

case law, addressing all 

aspects encountered on 

undergraduate courses. 

The coverage in this new 

edition has been revised 

to incorporate all recent 

significant decisions and 

judgements made by the 

House of Lords and the 

Court of Appeal. Extracts 

have been chosen from a 

wide range of historical 

and contemporary cases 

to illustrate the reasoning 

processes of the court, 

why decisions are made, 

and how legal principles 

are developed, thus enabling 

cases to be analysed 

and discussed independently 

while, taken as a 

whole, the chapters provide 

a sound understanding 

of the modern law of 

contract. Succinct author 

commentary focuses the 

reader on the key elements 

within the extracts, while 

thought-provoking questions 

are posed throughout 

to develop more in-depth 

analysis.

Routledge, HB, £75.00, 

ISBN: 0415702070 

This accessible new book 

delivers in two key areas: 

first, a new way of thinking 

about copyright reform 

in countries which are 

engaged in the modernization 

of their copyright 

laws; and second, a new 

international approach to 

copyright regulation in the 

era of globalization. 

self-defence requirements, 

as well as discussions of 

numerous other relevant 

issues (i.e. putative selfdefense, 

excessive selfdefense, 

earlier guilt and 

battered women). 

the trend toward more and 

more use of such tools 

in arbitral proceedings is 

unstoppable. For arbitration 

professionals, be they 

arbitrators or counsel, this 

book brings the landscape 

of this changed practice 

into clear focus, dispersing 

mists of confusion and 

clarifying the choices they 

will inevitably be called 

upon to make.

about how various information

ISBN: 1859419747 

This is the first textbook to 

deal with criminal practice 

and procedure as it relates 

to the Caribbean. The text 

clarifies the state law in 

each jurisdiction, making 

AUG/SEPT 2006 15


it clear when laws are the 

same or similar, and statutory 

law in the Caribbean 

is compared to English 

Law throughout. Statute 

law and common law are 

examined in the relevant 

jurisdictions including 

Trinidad, Tobago, Guyana, 

Barbados, Jamaica 

and Grenada among others. 

Although the laws 

of each jurisdiction have 

many things in common, 

Seetahal makes it clear 

when differences in laws 

between the jurisdictions 

apply. The impact of statutory 

changes are also 

analyzed alongside recent 

developments. Revised 

throughout, this new edition 

addresses the recent 

changes in law in St Lucia 

and the Bahamas bringing 

this popular text right up to 

date. Although it has been 

written for law students, as 

the only book which deals 

specifically with criminal 

practice and procedure in 

the Caribbean, it is also a 

useful reference tool for 

criminal justice professionals.

1842193007 

This Code of Practice, 

based on the second edition 

of Service Charges in 

Commercial Property: A 

Guide to Good Practice, 

has been written in the 

light of UK government 

concerns about disputes 

over service charges and 

their alleged lack of transparency. 

Also, since the 

second edition of the Guide 

was published in 2000, expectations 

of services have 

increased, and owners and 

occupiers are favouring a 

more consensual approach 

rather than the adversarial 

positioning that was formerly 

the case.

A Practical Approach to 

Civil Procedure provides 

a comprehensive commentary 

on all the major

Designed to cover points

The rights of minorities 

are becoming increasingly 

important, especially in 

the context of enlargement 

of the European Union, 

yet there are remarkably 

few treaties dealing with 

minority rights under international 

law. One of 

these is the Council of 

Europe’s Framework Convention 

for the Protection 

of National Minorities. 

This volume provides the 

first expert commentary on 

the Convention, which is 

the principal international 

document establishing 

minority rights in a legally 

binding way. Many minority 

rights such as those

non-assimilation, and the

contemporary examples of 

their operation. The book 

describes equity’s role in 

creating different rights 

and obligations, remedies, 

and procedures from those 

provided by the common 

law itself. Worthington 

provides a complete reworking 

of the material 

traditionally described as 

Equity. In doing this, she 

provides a comprehensive 

examination of the 

fundamental principles 

underpinning Equity’s 

most significant incursions 

into the modern law 

of property, contract, tort, 

and unjust enrichment. 

More importantly, she 

exposes the possibilities, 

and the need, for coherent 

substantive integration of 

Common Law and Equity. 

Such integration is 

perceived as crucial to the 

continuing success of the 

modern common law legal 

system. Whilst this book is, 

on the one hand, an accessible 

and elementary exploration 

of Equity’s place 

in our legal system, it also 

addresses the most taxing 

and controversial questions 

which our dual system of 

law and equity raises.

IMPORTANT FORTHCOMING PUBLICATIONS 

Age Discrimination: A 

Guide to the New Law 

Edited by Shaman Kapoor 

Law Society Publishing, Paperback, 

ISBN 1853285145, 

£34.95, due September 

2006 

The new age discrimination 

regulations come into force 

on 1st October 2006. This 

timely resource provides 

an excellent guide to the 

new law and how it will be 

applied in practice. The 

regulations aim to eliminate 

discrimination on the 

grounds of age at all stages of 

employment, from application 

through to termination 

and retirement. There are, 

however, exceptions which 

the authors explore in detail. 

Thorough, practical and userfriendly, 

the book features 

a logical layout, providing 

a step-by-step guide to the 

implications of the regulations 

at each stage of the employment 

process; pertinent 

examples to illustrate specific 

points and is written in clear 

language to explain complex 

provisions. The book also 

includes the full text of the 

Employment Equality (Age) 

Regulations 2006 and the 

European Directive on which 

they are based. Written by 

a team of barristers from 1 

Temple Gardens specialising 

in employment law, Age 

Discrimination is essential 

reading for professionals. 

Corporate Borrowing 3rd 

edition 

by Geoffrey Fuller 

Jordan Publishing, Hardcover, 

ISBN 1846610095, 


2006 

Corporate Borrowing straddles 

both company and banking 

law. In one volume it 

defines the most effective 

ways of raising debt finance 

– from bank loan agreements 

to MTN programmes 

– and examines the specific 

legal problems of security 

and prospectus requirements 

under the Prospectus Directive. 

The third edition of 

this highly rated book has 

been fully updated with the 

key legal and regulatory 

developments and features 

significantly expanded coverage 

of security going from 

one to two chapters dealing 

with the general law and 

types of security, subordination, 

guarantees and variation 

of rights. Repackagings, 

CDOs, securitisations and 

other forms of structured 

finance are now described in 

detail as well as the implications 

of the Elektron cases on 

the roles of trustees and new 

regulations on the execution 

of documents. 

Human Rights and Religion 

- The Islamic Headscarf 

Debate in Europe 

Dominic McGoldrick 

Hart Publishing, Paperback, 

ISBN 1841136522, £18.95, 

due September 2006 

The debate on multiculturalism 

and human rights in 

Europe was reignited in 2004 

by the Islamic headscarf ban 

in France. The legal and 

political tensions thrown up 

by this debate are now being 

witnessed in many European 

states. The place of religion 

in schools in general, and 

wearing of religious dress in 

State schools in particular, 

has become an issue across 

Europe. Supporters of the 

right to wear the Islamic 

headscarf argue that the ban 

and similar prohibitions infringe 

a number of human 

rights. This book examines 

the issues by considering 

questions of language, meaning 

and symbolism. In doing 

so it identifies the debates 

behind the debates. Detailed 

consideration is given to the 

headscarf debate in France. 

Comparative practice in a 

number of European states - 

Germany, Switzerland, Spain, 

Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, 

the United Kingdom 

and Turkey - is examined. 

Brief consideration is also 

given to a number of non- 

European states. The book 

also outlines the role and 

function of an international 

human rights law approach 


to the Islamic headscarf. It 

concludes with some wider 

reflections on the broader political 

and cultural struggles 

that lie behind the Islamic 

headscarf debate. This wider 

frame of analysis reveals the 

deeper significance of the 

Islamic headscarf bans.

Exploring Law’s Empire 

- The Jurisprudence of

Edited by Scott Hershovitz 

O x f o r d U n i v e r s i t y 

Press, Hardback, ISBN 

0199274355, £50.00, due 


Exploring Law’s Empire is 

a collection of essays by 

leading legal theorists and 

philosophers who have been 

invited to develop, defend, 

or critique Ronald Dworkin’s 

controversial and exciting 

jurisprudence. The volume 

explores Dworkin’s critique 

of legal positivism, his theory 

of law as integrity, and his 

writings on constitutional 

jurisprudence. Each essay 

is a cutting-edge contribution 

to its field of inquiry, 

the highlights of which include 

an introduction by 

Justice Stephen Breyer of 

the United States Supreme 

Court, and a concluding essay 

by Dworkin himself. This 

final chapter responds to the 

preceding essays and lays out 

Dworkin’s own vision for the 

future of jurisprdence over 

the coming years. 

Taxation of Private Property 

by Boodle Hatfield 

L e x i s N e x i s B u t t e r - 

worths, Softcover, ISBN 

0754528006, £105.00, due 

November 2006 

Taxation of Private Property 

is dedicated to all of the 

taxation aspects affecting 

residential property and the 

family home and is tied-in 

with a conference. Covering 

all taxation considerations 

covering private residential 

property, this title also fully 

covers pre-owned assets, 

which has become one of the 

key central planks of lifetime 

tax planning. Also included 

are sections on more specialist 

and less frequently covered 

areas such as heritage 

property, ‘the mansion house’ 

and let property. 

State Entities in International 

Arbitration 

Emmanuel Gaillard, Editor 

Juris Publishing, Hardcover, 

ISBN 1929446969, £85.00, 

due September 2006. 

States get involved in international 

affairs either directly 

or through their instrumentalities. 

The activities of 

these instrumentalities raise 

many issues, two of which 

have given rise to significant 

recent developments both in 

arbitral and domestic case 

law. The first is whether 

and under what conditions 

a State may be held liable 

for the conduct of such instrumentalities 

on the basis 

of an investment treaty. This 

issue will be the subject of a 

systematic survey of ICSID 

and ICC case law and that of 


other arbitral tribunals so as 

to identify the circumstances 

in which such liability may 

arise. The second issue, 

which is addressed by State 

courts, is whether and under 

what conditions State 

instrumentalities that have 

a separate and autonomous 

legal personality may be 

held liable for the pecuniary 

obligations of the State. A 

comparative law study focusing 

in particular on solutions 

found in French, English 

and U.S. law will provide 

answers to the question as to 

whether an award holding a 

State liable may be enforced 

against the assets of instrumentalities 

of that State, 

where such instrumentalities 

are prima facie separate 

juridical persons. 

The WTO Agreement on 

Safeguards: A Commentary 

by Alan O. Sykes 

O x f o r d U n i v e r s i t y 

Press, Hardback, ISBN 

0199277400, £75.00, due 


This book provides a thorough 

treatment of the legal, 

economic, and policy issues 

associated with safeguard 

measures in the WTO system. 

It includes a careful 

treatment of the history of 

safeguard measures under 

GATT, and the impetus for 

the Agreement on Safeguards 

during the Uruguay Round. 

It reviews the economic 

arguments for and against 

safeguard measures, including 

the modern political 

economy account of safeguards 

and nullescape clausesnull 

in international agreements. 

Subsequent chapters 

focus on the key legal issues 

associated with the use of 

safeguards, including the 

procedural requirements, 

the obligation to demonstrate 

unforeseen developments 

and increased imports, 

the concept of nullserious 

injury,null the puzzling causation 

test, and limitations 

on the scope of safeguard 

measures including non-discrimination 

principles. All 

of the safeguard decisions 

within the WTO dispute system 

are thoroughly dissected 

and analysed. Included as 

appendices are the relevant 

treaty text and the pertinent 

national legislation of the 

United States and European 

Union.

Rights, Groups, and Self- 

Invention: Group-Differentiated 

Rights in Liberal 

Theory 

by Eric J. Mitnick 

Ashgate Publishing, Hardback, 

ISBN 0754645738, 


2006 

This volume describes and 

critically assesses the groupdifferentiated 

form of ‘right’ 

from within analytical, constitutive 

and liberal theory. It 

explores to what extent the 

group-differentiated form of 

right serves to shape aspects 

of human identity and whether 

this should be a cause for 

concern. The more detailed 

normative work advanced 

here contextually applies the 

constitutive understanding 

of rights and the principles 

of liberal membership to 

particular examples of groupdifferentiated 

citizenship. 

Such examples range from 

slavery and alienage, to more 

affirmative classifications, 

such as those apparent in the 

contexts of civil unions and 

affirmative action.

CHANCEL REPAIR LIABILITY 

How to Research It 

Revised ed 

Derriman, James 

ISBN: 1898029849 

Hardback 

Price: £19.95 

The owner of any property, however small, in England or Wales, can be liable in certain 

circumstances to pay for repairs to the chancel of a medieval parish church in his locality. 

Until a recent case decided in the House of Lords led to a farmer and his wife being called 

on to pay a £95,000 bill, many property owners, conveyancers and parochial church councils 

had ignored this apparently remote corner of the law. Now, especially as a result of the 

Land Registration Act 2002, chancel repair liability has become a live issue. 

The need for searches to establish whether any particular land may be affected is increasingly 

recognised. This book — the first of its kind — provides practical information on how 

to make these searches. It does not set out to be a legal textbook, but to enable lawyers, laymen 

and churchmen to understand the background and sources of information available so 

that they can discover so far as is possible when, and to what extent, liability may exist. 

A Foreword by Dr R. Sturt, Diocesan Registrar of Canterbury, endorses its value not only 

for people who plan to do their own research, but as a mine of information for professionals, 

parochial church councils and amateur historians

FROM TRUST TO TAKEOVER 

Butterworths 1938-1967 

A Publishing House in Transition 

Gordon Graham 

ISBN: 1898029814 

Hardback 102pp 

£12.95 

Stanley Bond, a largely unrecognized publishing genius, instructed in his will that his two 

infant sons should inherit the company when they attained the age of twenty-five. Until 

then, the company should be run by a Trust, which he set up, most of the income from 

which would go to his widow. The sons never got their inheritance. The company was sold 

twenty-four years after Bond’s death. How this came about is a story of intrigue and power 

plays, in researching which the author had access to confidential archives and was able to 

interview witnesses of the drama. The result is a tale that throws light on the mores of privately-run 

companies sliding unwillingly into the era of corporate ownership. 

Gordon Graham was Chairman and Chief Executive of Butterworths from 1975 to 1990. 

Prior to that he had been Managing Director of McGraw-Hill’s British subsidiary and International 

Sales Manager of the McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York.

We have pleasure in announcing publication of The Journal of Comparative Law. The journal 

provides a forum for comparative law scholarship and analysis. It will be an invaluable 

tool for practitioners and scholars working across international borders and with harmonised 

law. The journal, which is refereed, publishes materials on all aspects of comparative law, 

covering all geographical areas, and encourages analytical work with a contextual, theoretical 

and interdisciplinary approach. Due weight is accorded to practical aspects. The journal 

should appeal to a wide range of readers, including academics, students and international 

practitioners. Significant features include the publication of assessments and translations of 

important documents and comparative law bibliographies, as well as reviews of current and 

classic treatises and texts.

SEEING JUSTICE DONE 

A guide to the Law Courts and Tribunals of Central London 

John Griffin 

ISBN: 1898029822 

Paperback 126pp 

£19.95 

Seeing Justice Done is aimed at students and overseas lawyers, and at 

everyone with the time and inclination to visit the Law Courts and Tribunals 

of Central London as a spectator. The book describes where each of them is 

to be found, and what goes on inside them. Prominent lawyers explain the 

difference between barristers and solicitors, and there are eighteen interviews 

with individuals involved, willingly or unwillingly, in what lawyers call “the 

administration of justice”, ranging from a High Court Judge to a persistent 

criminal. The royalties of this book are being donated to the Solicitors 

Benevolent Association.
