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.

PRINCIPLES OF PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY IN MALAYSIA
RM180.00KEY TOPICS:
- Examination of the general law, and their application in respect of the selected professions.
- Guidance on the possible development of local law for difficult issues without settled local authorities.
- Specific duties arising either at common law, equity or under legislation in relation to the selected professions.
- Standard of care, and the relevancy of qualification and experience.
- The conditions, and limits, of the tests developed in Caparo Industries v Dickman and Smith v Eric Bush.
- The importance of a retainer and the application of the SAAMCO principle.
- The law regarding confidentiality.
- The application of limitation in claims for latent defects in buildings.
- Remedies for breach of fiduciary obligations.
- Quantification of damages.
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.
