Editorial Reviews
Review
As a financial services lawyer, I was interested to read the chapter on undue influence. This is typically known as a difficult topic, even for the most experienced lawyers, but Stone’s analysis of the law, and the present position, is excellent. It is also impressive to see that this approach has been adopted throughout the remainder of the text. Russell J Kelsall for The Student Law Journal
