Publisher's Synopsis
"Words and Phrases" enables the practitioner to have, at all times, the precise meaning of a particular word or phrase. Definitions are taken from the Acts of Parliament, Halsbury's "Laws of England", leading textbooks and verbatim judgements from all over the Commonwealth. Annual cumulative supplements, charged separately, ensure that the work is always up-to-date and include not only full coverage of English and Scottish cases and statutes, but also extracts from Australian, Canadian and New Zealand cases.
