Laws of Guernsey

Laws of Guernsey is the first textbook, certainly in modern times, to explain and introduce both Guernsey law and court procedure. Written for anyone concerned with legal issues or business in Guernsey, the book introduces the following principal areas: an introduction to Guernsey law itself, Guernsey constitutional law, planning law, housing law, family law, law of succession, trust law, income tax law, company and commercial law, employment law, health and safety at work, civil procedure, criminal law and procedure, evidence and land law. The book includes various legislative materials and many cross-references to English and French law. It is an invaluable guide for anyone concerned with legal proceedings in Guernsey and is of particular use to lawyers in other jurisdictions with dealings in Guernsey, together with other professionals such as bankers, insurers and trustees. The foreword is written by the Bailiff of Guernsey.
