Law Brief Publishing

We’re delighted to announce that the new and updated fourth edition of ‘Kevan and Ellis on Credit Hire’ is now available to buy either as a paperback or an e-book here. It provides a comprehensive summary of the current state of the law in this heavily litigated area. It includes coverage of the main cases from Dimond v Lovell, Burdis v Livesey, Clark v Ardington and Lagden v O’Connor through to Sayce v TNT, Copley v Lawn and Bent (No1 and No2). Issues covered include rates, impecuniosity, mitigation and various enforceability issues as well as The Cancellation of Contracts made in a Consumer’s Home or Place of Work Regulations 2008, The Distance Selling Regulations and the concept of unfair relationships.

2013 marks the 20th anniversary of the Queen’s Counsel cartoons by Alex Williams first having appeared in ‘The Times’ and we’re proud that we will be publishing this bumper omnibus edition to mark this milestone. The draft cover is on the left and the book will be out later in the year.

Fraud is a hot topic when it comes to personal injury cases and litigation around this issue has become an area of specialisation in itself. ‘A Guide to Fraud in Personal Injury Cases’ by barristers Aidan Ellis and James Henry will provide a comprehensive guide for practitioners with the most recent case law and arguments which are being run up and down the country in the county courts. It will be launched chapter by chapter in PI Brief Update Law Journal with free access for subscribers and when it has been completed (around the end of 2013 or early 2014) it will be launched as a stand alone paperback book and e-book.

Welcome to the launch of our newly designed Law Brief Publishing website. Our newsletter first newsletter was launched over ten years ago and since then we’ve built up a string of successful legal updates as well as what we believe is the best personal injury law journal in the UK. Now we’re branching out further with the launch of our first books, starting with the fourth edition of Kevan and Ellis on Credit Hire which will be followed later in the year with a 20th Anniversary omnibus edition of Alex Williams’ ‘Queen’s Counsel’ cartoons which appear regularly in The Times and then later still ‘A Guide to Fraud in Personal Injury Cases’ by Aidan Ellis and James Henry of Temple Garden Chambers.

The PI Brief Update Law Journal (PIBULJ) is the UK’s leading online personal injury journal with around 25 new articles each month. Last year we certified the Journal with the Solicitors Regulation Authority which now means that every solicitor of a subscribing office can get up to 12 hours of CPD per year from the Journal.
