Now in its eighth edition, this popular and readable book is intended mainly for students of the English legal system seeking a clear and topical account of the more important institutions and practices of our legal process. This book includes chapters on remedies so as to introduce students at an early stage to the major forms of redress available in both private and public law. Their inclusion will be helpful to the understanding of contract, tort, administrative, property and equity law. For this reason the book will be useful to those who have advanced beyond the first stage of their course. This new edition has been fully revised to take account of developments in the legal process since the publication of the seventh edition. It includes references to the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, the Competition Act 1998, the Data Protection Act 1998, the European Communities (Amendment) Act 1998, the Human Rights Act 1998, and the Access to Justice Act 1999. Many recent Court of Appeal and High Court case law developments are incorporated, including decisions on the correct test for determining whether an employment tribunal hearing is ‘in public’; whether a threat is an ‘insult’ for the purposes of the law of contempt; offences of strict liability; the per incuriam doctrine; the duty of counsel to keep up-to-date with new case law; damages for mental distress caused by the breach of a contract to provide pleasure, relaxation or peace of mind; and miscarriages of justice involving Patrick Nicholls, Ryan James and Danny McNamee. Important pronouncements by the House of Lords are noted on a variety of subjects, including decisions on challenges in a criminal court to the validity of delegated legislation; the recovery of money paid under a mistake of law; the inherent jurisdiction of the House to order the rehearing of an appeal; the requirements of mens rea in statutory offences; the purposeful approach to statutory interpretation; prospective overruling; the limits of judicial law-making; the rule against bias; and the effect of delay in seeking permission to apply for judicial review.

CHARGES & DISCHARGES
RM113.00* 2 COPIES LEFT
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.

LEGAL FICTIONS ( IN FAIR CONDITION )
RM75.00This 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:-
- HELEN OF TROY : Ten years’ efforts by petitioner to induce respondent to return.
- THE MINOTAUR : Defendant on premises for the purpose of being devoured.
- JUPITER : Impersonation of husband by divine co-respondent.
- THE GOLDEN FLEECE : Company en¬gaging in yoking fire-breathing bulls and other agricultural pursuits.
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.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF THE MALAYSIAN LEGAL SYSTEM
RM29.50General Principles of the Malaysian Legal System basically traces the history of the ancient laws of this country, way back to the year 1500, very much earlier than the first foreign administration in Malacca by the Portuguese. It elaborates how the customs and traditions practised by the locals those days, were eventually converted to customary laws. The customary laws influenced by the common laws of England and Equity, introduced by the English, led to the formation of the Laws of Malaysia and Islamic Law in Malaysia. An indepth analysis of this development of laws runs to more than three Chapters in this book.
This book, in adition, describes the Parliamentary process of law making, the functions of the Executive, Judiciary and the Legal Profession, as provided for by the Federal Constitution. This historical development of the legal system in Malaysia was gathered from numerous reliable sources by the combined efforts of Mr. Padmanabha Rau (Rau),a Senior Advocate, and Dr.T. Johnson Sampathkumar (Kumar), who holds a Ph.D. in Public Administration.
