NLJ this week | Tribute to Harvey

78132
Employment barrister Ian Smith, general editor of Harvey, toasts five decades of ‘the practitioner’s bible on employment law’. It’s a fast-moving area of law, so much so that ‘the hard copy version, now in six volumes, would now need a pick-up truck to carry’

Writing in this week’s NLJ, Smith notes the high and enduring influence of Harvey, which is not only ‘used and quoted to tribunals and courts, but it is quoted by them in judgments’.
