ABSTRACT

In general, this book is practical rather than contemplative. Here, however, we pause for thought, and our first thought is this: what is the point of writing a book about the law for lay people? There are plenty of trained lawyers about, and if one is dealing with valuable things like one’s rights, doesn’t it make sense to go to an expert? Your business is your livelihood: it’ s more than money – it’s your life. Not even the most hardened do-it-yourself fanatic would try to mend a million-pound machine that had broken down!
