This is a novel and amusing collection of the well-known stories of ancient mythology brought into Court and dressed in the garb of a modern trial.
It forms a happy blend of the real and the imaginary, in which ancient and modem conditions are brought together with the most diverting results. The drawings catch the spirit of the Author’s humour with telling effect.
Here are a few of the points arising in these actions:-
The book should prove an acceptable gift for the discriminating reader. Informative, accurate in point of law, the cases are not too technical to be appreciated by the general reader.

The word “charge” is wider in purport and includes, beside the element of offence, the reference to the person who is alleged to have committed it. Thus, the expression ‘a misjoinder of charges’ in Section 537(b) means the misjoinder either of the offences or of the persons alleged to have committed the offences. To hold that it refers only to the misjoinder of the first, would be to unnecessarily narrow the purport and effect of that section.
This text is a comprehensive review of the issues in Special Education Needs, taking the reader through the case law as well as providing specific guidance on disability case law which is new to those specialising in SEN.
It includes coverage of the constitution and conduct of special schools which are largely omitted from other works, and focuses on cases dealing with the liability of schools/LEAs for failing to detect and address individual children’s needs.
Written by a respected author in local authority, this publication is the first to combine the two disciplines of special education needs and disability and has a strong case law emphasis. It will be essential reading for barristers and solicitors dealing with education and public law, as well as all professionals working within this area.
KEY TOPICS:
This book seeks to examine the main principles of professional liability in Malaysia with emphasis on the liabilities in tort and equity, in addition to the obligations under contract and written law. While specific chapters are devoted to the law as is applicable to surveyors, construction professionals (exemplified by engineers, architects and quantity surveyors), accounting professionals, doctors and lawyers, the law is examined against the backdrop of the general law applicable to professionals generally.
The book provides the answers to some key questions – in what circumstances would a professional owe a duty to a client or to a third party, what is the standard of care the law demands that a professional should adhere to, and what would be the extent of the liability of a professional where a breach of duty is proved. In addition to the principles of assessment of damages in tort, emphasis is also given to the rules governing equitable compensation.
The authors have helpfully provided a wide range of pointers to relevant developments of the law in Commonwealth jurisdictions for better analysis and to show the way forward for Malaysian law where issues have yet to be decided in Malaysia.
