FUTURE LOSS IN PRACTICE: PERIODICAL PAYMENTS AND LUMP SUMS

MANAGEMENT

Limited Liability Partnerships Handbook 2nd ed 2007

Simon Young / Tottell / £68

Simon Young is an author who manages to make the complex understandable;  subjects that could easily be heavy and dull, entertaining and interesting. His new book is therefore an absolute must for the managing partner of any firm considering conversion or has completed the process.

When Young published the first edition of the book just a few months after limited liability partnerships (LLPs) came into being, relatively few firms had made the transition. This second edition draws upon his experience of working with a number of firms over the last six years and the issues that arose.

Firms embarking on the process will find six chapters especially useful.  They tackle:
 The background & legislative development.
 The definition of an LLP.
 The process of formation and naming.
 The transfer of business.
 Membership concepts.
 Designated members.

Those that have already completed the process will regard Young’s book as a bible to have on hand

In NLJ this week, Sailesh Mehta and Theo Burges of Red Lion Chambers examine the government’s first-ever 'Afghan leak' super-injunction—used to block reporting of data exposing Afghans who aided UK forces and over 100 British officials. Unlike celebrity privacy cases, this injunction centred on national security. Its use, the authors argue, signals the rise of a vast new body of national security law spanning civil, criminal, and media domains
