This book is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the legal obligations of local housing authorities and social housing providers.

This book is aimed at all levels of practitioners dealing with UK road traffic accidents (RTA) liability claims. It is presented in a very clear, user friendly format with practical step by step tips where the subject matter requires.

The work covers three distinction areas. 

Part A concerns the general principles applicable to all cases focusing on negligence, statutory duties, causation and remoteness, with an emphasis on what these principles mean in practice. 

Part B looks in detail at the statutory framework with special attention given to workplaces, work equipment, manual handling, working at height and construction. 

Part C offers practical guidance on effective case preparation and presentation, providing invaluable know-how on investigation guidelines, evidence, and practice and procedure.
