Review:

`The second edition is now able to comment more thoroughly and with conviction on the reception and operation of the Act, in particular its growing precedent and procedural application. The guide has both summary and detailed contents, clear signposting and an easy-to-reference index. While
aimed at the practioner, this book provides any interested reader with a thoughtful commentary and guide to this behemoth change in the law.'
