The Return of Breaking Law

Reviews of the 1st edition: “Who needs a lawyer once you have Stephen Gold’s Breaking Law to hand! An accessible, comprehensive guide to our legal rights. It’s an amazing achievement.” Jon Snow, Channel 4 News: “Breaking Law is an amusing, entertaining, and incredibly useful book explaining how to make the law work for you, not against you. If you’ve ever wondered what a judge would say about any legal predicament you find yourself in, well here’s the answer!” Piers Morgan, broadcaster and writer : Written clearly and with a real sense of fun, at last a text which strips bare the complexities of our legal system so you, too, can “survive without a lawyer”….. Our Law, at last, accessible to us.” Anna Botting, Sky News : “Fun to read but a vital source of knowledge if you are thinking of using the courts” : Justin Webb BBC Radio 4 : Unquestionably the legal book of the year, if not the decade. This is the work of a genius.” Professor Dominic Regan, New Law Journal : “A master-class in civil procedure. Whatever your case is about Stephen Gold sets you on the path to winning or (since this is England) losing well. The specimen witness statement about the sale of 62 Wayne Rooney miniatures had me in stitches. A litigant in person would find it all very useful and the seasoned lawyer would learn something too. I did.” : Peter Thompson QC, General Editor of the Civil Court Practice (the “Green Book’) : “So full of useful stuff that it will be of great use to advisers as well as the advised.” David Pickup, Law Society Gazette
