WILDY’S BOOK NEWS
Volume 20
Issue 1 Published Monthly
Jan/Feb 2015
The Hammicks bookshop in Fleet Street is to close on Friday the 13th of February. It is a
sad day for law bookselling and their staff. We have always enjoyed our ‘friendly rivalry’.
We are altering the scheduling of the Book News slightly as we enter our 20th year. Our
new deadline for material is the last working day of the month. This is to allow for the
inclusion of books published in the final week of the month. Previously, these would
be held over to the next issue. Increasingly, publishers are issuing their major titles and
supplements in the final week of the month.
The electronic version of the Book News will continue to appear on our website in
advance of the printed version being sent out.
Just published this month Natural Law and Comparative Law (JCL Studies in
Comparative Law No. 12), see page 39.

The book covers the discussions of all significant evolution
process and land reforms. It is a going debate on whether
demarcated and secure property rights are essential to sustainable economic development, and land is an extremely
important issue in China which in turn relates the role of
state and the manner of dealing land ownership and other
rights. It examines the hybrid dynamic of Chinese land law
in the view of multi-layered stakeholders and their diverged
incentives. The evolution has been shaped by various political and social forces, and the book demonstrates the nature
of the law and how complicated the law in action is in transitional countries such as China. It is particularly noteworthy
that the book’s evaluation of western mainstream theories
on property rights and their application in Chinese soil.

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2015 23
January and February are not the busiest months of the year for legal bookselling so I thought I
would take a step away from the actual books and talk about the different formats that law eBooks
are produced in.
The most successful format so far is Sweet & Maxwell’s ProView. This is a purpose built App
that will work on your PC, Mac or tablet. The beauty with ProView is the way that you can add
bookmarks, notes and highlights and these annotations will synch across all of your devices.
ProView also has the smoothest navigation of any of the Apps that I have seen. There are now about
150 of Sweet & Maxwell’s major titles available on ProView.
(Proview)
Hard on the heels of ProView is LexisNexis’ Lexis Note. This has a lot of the features of ProView
and Lexis are planning on releasing the first batch of looseleafs in 2015. This platform was only
launched at the end of 2014 but all major Lexis releases will now be available in both Lexis Note
and ePub versions.
(Lexis Note)
Both Lexis Note and ProView have the added bonus that you will never lose an eBook or an annotation. Everything is stored in the cloud so if you get a new device you can just log in and access all of
your books straight away.
ProView and Lexis Note have been purpose built for the professional market but they only represent
a very small percent of the total list. Most eBooks will be produced in ePub or PDF format and are
protected be Adobe Digital Rights Management (DRM).
24 WILDY’S BOOK NEWS
DRM is used to protect the eBook from unauthorized copying and sharing. When the eBook is first
opened it will effectively lock itself to the Adobe registration of whoever has opened it. This person
can then use it on a number of different devices as long as they are all registered with the same
Adobe login. If you are reading these titles on a PC or a Mac most people would use Adobe Digital
Editions as their reader. This, like ProView and Lexis Note, gives you option to highlight and often,
but not always, annotate although it will not synch your notes between devices.
(Adobe Digital Editions)
Our favourite App for reading ePub or PDF files on a tablet is BlueFire. The functionality is great
and the navigation is very smooth.
(BlueFire)
What really is missing is a format that allows a library to act as a central hub for their eBooks and
for them to be able to lend them to the end-users. I am sure this will happen in time but it still feels
like we are in the embryonic stages of legal eBooks in the UK.
As always please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions about eBook or require
further information.

NEW BOOKS FROM WILDY, SIMMONDS & HILL
NATURAL LAW AND COMPARATIVE LAW
Russell Wilcox and Anthony Carty (editors)
JCL Studies in Comparative Law No. 12
Price: £65.00
ISBN: 9780854901548
Extent:414 pp
Binding:Hardback
It has been a major contention of classical natural law theory that the arguments
it makes, because rooted in a robust account of human nature, are of universal applicability. A somewhat less well explored dimension is the extent to which it can
admit of, and indeed support, the great variations in human cultures, life-ways and
patterns of social ordering. Despite this fact, however, there is much to suggest
that it is possessed of theoretical resources uniquely well adapted to maintaining
a balance between unity and diversity in each of these areas. In consequence, although the disciplines of natural law and comparative law have long tended to be
treated as essentially immiscible, there is much to suggest that this may not be the
whole story and that an exploration of how they can be brought together holds out
the promise of making real theoretical advances in each. It is in this spirit that the
present volume collects together essays from a variety of scholars with interests in
various aspects of classical natural law theory and comparative legal studies as a
way of beginning what the editors hope will become a fruitful and, in time, much
wider conversation.

LEASEHOLD ENFRANCHISEMENT
LAW AND PRACTICE
Piers Harrison and David Lonsdale
Price: £95.00
ISBN: 9780854900657
Extent:374 pp
Binding:Hardback
This practical book is written with the busy practitioner in mind, explaining the
law in clear and simple terms and concentrating heavily on procedure. The procedural chapters make up the greater part of the book and are designed to ensure that
the practitioner drafts notices without mistakes and understands the critical time
limits.
Leasehold Enfranchisement contains checklists of mistakes to be avoided in the
preparation of notices and clear guidance on procedure post service of the notice.
The book enables the reader to find essential information easily.
Fully up to date with the new procedural rules, Leasehold Enfranchisement
includes the latest forms published by the First-tier Tribunal. It is accessible and
practical, providing guidance on filling in notices, and checklists of common mistakes to be avoided. The authors provide plenty of detail on how to accomplish
the main task for a solicitor in this area. The book also tackles valuation in a way
that a non-valuer can understand so that the solicitor understands the valuation
exercise.
Piers’ property practice covers all areas of property law and clients include property development
companies, local authorities, government agencies and private companies and individuals. He is an
editor of Landlord and Tenant Review. He has a particular interest in enfranchisement but his practice encompasses all areas of the law of real property. He is author of Service Charges & Management (3rd ed) and Megarry’s Manual of the Law of Real Property (9th ed).
David Lonsdale has over twenty years’ advocacy and advisory experience at all levels up to the
Court of Appeal, including specialist tribunals such as the First Tier Tribunal. David’s areas of particular specialisation are leasehold enfranchisement, restrictive covenants and forfeiture of commercial leases, but he accepts instructions across the range of Property law disputes as well as appearing
and advising on cases in related fields such as professional negligence and insolvency. David is
instructed by client companies with an international presence as well as local authorities, managing
agents and individuals.

The law and procedure relating to sexual offences is notoriously complex. Since the advent of the

this practical and accessible work will prove an invaluable reference for those working within this
specialised area of criminal law.

RUSSIAN INHERITANCE LAW
Edited, Introduced, and Translated by
William E. Butler
Studies in Russian & East European Law Series
Price: £65.00
ISBN: 9780854901487
Extent:205 pp
Binding:Hardback
A comprehensive introduction to the historical foundations and contemporary
legislation and judicial practice regulating inheritance relations in the Russian
Federation. Following an account of the development of inheritance in Kievan
Rus, Muscovy, and Imperial Russia, the volume traces the twilight of traditional
inheritance during the Soviet era, from the outright abolition of heritance to the
gradual reintroduction of limited inheritance by operation of law. Attention is
given to general provisions on the right to inherit, sources of inheritance law,
inheritance by will and by intestacy, acquiring an inheritance, protection of estate
property, division of the estate and expenses, defense of inheritance rights, and
private international law aspects of inheritance. Relevant provisions of the Civil
Code of the Russian Federation are appended.

CASE HANDLING
An Illustrated View from the Bench
HH Nicholas Chambers QC
Price: £10.00
ISBN: 9780854901470
Extent:55 pp
Binding:
Paperback in colour
‘Experience of all sorts at the Bar and on the Bench has led to the thought that a
few timely words could avoid a lot of grief as well perhaps bringing a smile or
two from the pictures.’
At the Bar Nick Chambers did a great variety of cases ranging from the miners’
respiratory claims to the Kuwait Airways litigation. On the Bench his job was
to manage and try cases as the Mercantile Judge for Wales and Chester and
then for Wales as well as sitting in London in the Commercial Court and other
jurisdictions. He was a member of the Civil Procedure Rule Committee at the
time of the introduction of the Woolf reforms. He now practices as an arbitrator
and mediator from Brick Court Chambers.
The Chambers family’s involvement with watercolours goes back to 1779 with
an ancestor’s sketches during the Siege of Gibraltar. Since then each generation
has made its own contribution including scenes from Mumbai in the V&A and
the first illustrations of the rules of rugby football done at the school in 1845.
Illustrations and texts from Nick’s book Missed Moments in Legal History hang in
the Rolls Building. The pictures in Case Handling pay a further happy tribute to
his past.
This book, with its pithy advice and attractive illustrations, makes taking the
serious medicine of case handling a pleasure both for the recently qualified and
anyone else with an interest in making dispute resolution work.

Price: £65.00
ISBN: 9780854901432
Extent:292 pp
Binding:Hardback
This study offers the reader an in-depth analysis of the role of law in China’s impressive
post-Mao economic transformation, contextualizing the Chinese experience in law and
development theory and its application to China. The book makes a substantial contribution to discourses on the very important issue of the nature of the Chinese land system
in the transformation from state-planning to the market. It is an on-going debate as to
whether demarcated and secure property rights are essential for sustainable economic
development. In addition, land is an extremely important issue in China, especially in
terms of the role of state and the manner in which the state is dealing with land ownership
and other rights in times of change. The book examines the hybrid dynamic of Chinese
land law, the multi-layered stakeholders involved, and the varied and divergent incentives
for exploiting land. The evolution of mainland China’s land system has been shaped by
various political and social forces, and the book highlights key aspects of the nature of the
law and how complicated the law in action can be in transitional socio-economic systems
such as that of China. The book also offers an evaluation of western mainstream theories
of property rights and their relevance for understanding the place of land rights in Chinese
society.
Dr Yixian Zhao, LLB, LLM and JSD (City University of Hong Kong), is a lecturer in
law at Shantou University, and her current research interests are focused on issues of law
and development, including in BRICS (that is, the Brazil, Russia, India, China and South
Africa grouping of developing states), and on law and society matters. She has been a
research associate and postdoctoral fellow at the School of Law, CityU Hong Kong. She
at present teaches Jurisprudence, Law and Development, Sociology of Law and Land
Law at Shantou University.

Special attention is given to national legislation implementing the Convention and to judicial practice applying Convention and legislative provisions. The Convention continues to attract ratifications, and lawyers from
many countries will find the thoughtful articles contained in this volume
helpful in understanding comparative approaches to this increasingly important domain of international legal cooperation.

THE LEGAL REGIME OF CHINESE
OVERSEAS INVESTMENT
by
Chenyang XIE
JCL Studies in Comparative Law No. 11
Price: £65.00
ISBN: 9780854901531
Extent:290 pp
Binding:Hardback
China has become the first socialist legal system to acquire an interest and the capacity to
invest significantly beyond its own borders and abandon the policies of economic autarchy that approaches to socialist economic planning seemed to impose upon predecessor
socialist legal systems. In this pathbreaking study, Dr. Chenyang XIE examines how the
Chinese legal system regulates – usually by default rather than design – Chinese investor behavior with respect to outward investment opportunities and/or priorities. He offers
intelligent and perceptive critiques of legal rules, institutions, systems, and administrative
practices, providing suggestions for potential reform or adjustments of these.
Drawing upon the Chinese tradition of codification, the author has prepared a draft Code
of Overseas Investment Law, together with Commentary to explain why each formulation is desirable and necessary. In his view, Chinese overseas investment relations are a
“legal laboratory” for shaping a constructive legal regime to encourage and regulate such
investment. His bold, subtle, and nuanced strategy embodies reservations about the extent
to which in a planned economy the State should assume investment risks rather than the
non-State sector.
Subjects covered include the Chinese macro policies and concepts of overseas investment, information services, investment promotion, approvals, authorizations, and filings,
financial support, foreign exchange regulation, insurance, taxation, and supervision Stateowned assets abroad. The draft Code of Overseas Investment Law is the first of its kind
for any legal system.
Chenyang XIE received his LL.M. and S.J.D. degrees at the Pennsylvania State University. He has many years of experience with legal aspects of inward and outward Chinese
investment flows as a senior legal advisor employed by The Tiens Group in China.

Handbook for Magistrates 06/11/2012 15:52 Page 1
This new edition reflects the many changes introduced over recent years. These
include revisions to the procedure for applying to become a magistrate and the
training requirements; the introduction of the Criminal Procedure Rules, case
management and other measures to reduce delay; the landmark Courts Act 2003;
amendments to the Bail Act 1976; and wholesale revision of the approach to
sentencing.
The authors, one a deputy justices’ clerk, the other a serving magistrate, bring
two different, but equally important, areas of experience and expertise to the
work and explain complicated concepts in a straightforward manner, keeping legal
jargon to a minimum.
“… a welcome addition to the list of appropriate books for magistrates and prospective
magistrates. It is aimed not only at newly appointed members of the bench, but will also
be of considerable interest and assistance to those with more experience … there is a
great deal of support for magistrates in this handbook. It will also be of interest to other
court users including legal advisers and probations staff.This is a thorough and carefully
researched work.” From a review of a previous edition in The Magistrate
“Magistrates old, new and prospective will gain much from this book … The authors
have succeeded in providing a wide-ranging account of the work of lay magistrates. A
lucid explanation of a magistrate’s work and duties is found in this book. The text is
written with the non-lawyer in mind.” From a review of a previous edition in
New Law Journal
“[the book] will be appreciated both by serving and prospective magistrates and, indeed,
anyone with an interest in this hugely important feature of the administration of justice
in England and Wales.” From the foreword by the Rt Hon. Lord Judge, Lord
Chief Justice of England and Wales

Wildy’s Handbook for Magistrates Robert J. Allan & Pauline M. Callow
Wildy’s Handbook for Magistrates (previously published as Blackstone’s
Handbook for Magistrates) is a readable and comprehensive account of the work
of magistrates in England and Wales. It examines how magistrates are appointed;
what they are empowered to do; how their courts are organised and operated;
the kinds of matters they deal with – crimes such as theft and assault, traffic
offences and issues concerning children and families; how they go about assessing
evidence and deciding what to accept as true; how they decide whether
defendants should be released on bail or kept in custody; the sentences they may
impose and how they endeavour to make the punishment fit the crime.The book
also looks at how legal aid works, a subject of continuing public and political
concern. Last, but not least, it gives a flavour of what life as a magistrate is really
like, touching on the pressures, responsibilities and rewards of the work.

This is the first book to offer the reader an in-depth analysis
of the role of law in China’s great economic transformation,
along with a comprehensive research on law and development theory and its practice in China. The book made a substantial contribution to the Chinese land system literature.
The book covers the discussions of all significant evolution
process and land reforms. It is a going debate on whether
demarcated and secure property rights are essential to sustainable economic development, and land is an extremely
important issue in China which in turn relates the role of
state and the manner of dealing land ownership and other
rights. It examines the hybrid dynamic of Chinese land law
in the view of multi-layered stakeholders and their diverged
incentives. The evolution has been shaped by various political and social forces, and the book demonstrates the nature
of the law and how complicated the law in action is in transitional countries such as China. It is particularly noteworthy
that the book’s evaluation of western mainstream theories
on property rights and their application in Chinese soil.
