Tripping and slipping cases form a large part of the personal injury lawyers practice. Not all cases are straight-forward, many involve complex questions of law engaging various legal disciplines. "The APIL Guide to Tripping and Slipping Cases" is intended as a one-stop text covering all the legal disciplines that can come into play in a trip or slip case. It covers all the relevant areas of law - Local Government, Landlord and Tenant, Occupier's Liability, Highways, Factories and Health and Safety at Work - and gives detailed guidance on the applicable procedure, together with precedent material. This work (previously published as "Tripping and Slipping: A Practtitioner's Guide") will take account of important changes principally to the substantive law, especially in relation to the Highways Act 1980, such as Jones v Rhondda Taff Cynon County Borough Council (on reasonable foreseeability under s 41, HA 1980); DTER v Mott MacDonald (on accumulation of water); and, Atkins v Ealing LBC (on statutory defence).
