Summary |
The purpose of this volume is to give those involved, or potentially involved, in such a crisis a brief and readily accessible guide as to how the relevant issues might be approached in the affected jurisdiction or jurisdictions. Needless to say, it cannot be a substitute for formal advice from a lawyer well versed in the relevant legal system after he has been fully briefed, but it is hoped that the short summaries of key legal issues will assist those seeking to manage a crisis by focusing expectations and enabling them to brief local lawyers with an awareness of the opportunities and pitfalls afforded by the relevant legal system. Within the constraints of the format of this volume it has only been possible to provide summaries of the law in a limited number of legal systems. To those states not represented, and to those who had hoped for guidance as to the law in any of those states, I extend my apologies.
