Current Issues in Succession Law de Birke Häcker

Current Issues in Succession Law

Editat de Birke Häcker, C Mitchell
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 iul 2016
While continental and comparative lawyers have recently rediscovered succession law as an area of immense practical importance deserving greater academic attention, it is still a neglected field in England. This book aims to reinvigorate the English debate. It brings together contributions by leading academics and practitioners engaging with topical issues as well as questions of fundamental importance in succession law and estate planning. The book will be of interest to both academics and practitioners working in the field, and to non-English comparative lawyers.

Recenzii

Renewed academic engagement with the law of succession, in all its varied aspects, should be welcomed wholeheartedly by practitioners, and has the potential to be a great resource for all concerned with the application and development of the law in this field.
The editors of Current Issues in Succession Law deserve our thanks for bringing this excellent collectionof papers to the attention of a wider audience.
In Current Issues in Succession Law, we find 11 essays that canvass a diverse array of problems in English succession law ... the doctrinal focus of the volume brings into sharp relief a striking familiarity across the essays in the basic problems they confront ... The volume will ... be of interest to succession scholars in other jurisdictions for contrast and comparison.
... for practitioners in the south of Britain and also those interested in recent developments there, all the most important issues are very well covered and considered ... I look forward very much to the next conference and the follow up volume.
... an excellent book both as a reference work for students and practitioners and also of interest to the wider public who may be drawn in by the subject matter.
The relevance of this work to the current law of succession cannot be overemphasised and, despite its accessible size and small stature, is a compilation of the highest standard ... at the very least, a work worthy of digestion by any student of the law or prospective creator of a testamentary disposition ... Put simply, this is one not to be missed.
The editors are to be congratulated on assembling the impressive list of contributing authors. The book offers high-quality analysis on a wide range of issues of importance in the modern English law of succession. It is highly recommended to practitioners and scholars with an interest in the area, as well as to university libraries.
