I jumped at the opportunity to review this book because it is devoted to territory close to my heart and, to my shame, I had never previously encountered it, although it is now in its seventh edition.

Promises fulfilled

The book warrants a user-friendly, authoritative, clear and exhaustive analysis of consumer and trading standards law for consumer protection lawyers
