The complex nature of housing law and the significant human impact of cases lost and won, means the number of cases before the courts continues to grow. Housing Law Casebook covers the whole spectrum of housing law. The thematic structure, succinct case summaries and useful cross-referencing enables busy practitioners to identify relevant cases, quickly and efficiently.

Nic Madge, circuit judge, and new co-author Claire Sephton of Shelter, have substantially restructured this fourth edition to improve the accessibility and ease of use of the material. The chapters have been re-organised into themes and each case summary has been given a headnote.

This edition now comes with a free, fully searchable CD-Rom containing the full text of the Housing Law Casebook. It is essential reading for barristers, solicitors, voluntary sector advisers, housing managers, Homeless Persons Unit officers and students.
