Tim Lawson-Cruttenden and Neil Addison have combined to write this
book about the Harassment Act. It was first published by Blackstone
Press in October 1998. Neil Addison is a Barrister specialising
in criminal offences work and injunctions.
- Includes the relevant provisions of the Crime & Disorder
Act 1998 and the Human Rights Act 1998, '99 and '00.
- Examines harassment from the viewpoints of both the defence
and the prosecution.
- Contains useful checklists and precedents for both the defence
and the prosecution.
- Provides you with a one-stop harassment resource.
Whether it is sexual harassment at work, stalking, racial harassment
or 'neighbours from hell', harassment today is clearly an important
social and legal issue. This is the first book to look at harassment
as a legal topic in its own right, straddling civil and criminal
law, common law and statute law.
The authors thoroughly explain the practical importance of:
- The new provisions of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 dealing
with Antisocial Behaviour and Racial Harassment.
- The Common Law of Harassment.
- The Protection from Harassment Act 1997.
- Non-molestation Injunctions and Occupation Orders under the
Family Law Act 1996.
- Housing Act Injunctions and the Common Law of Public Nuisance.
- Harassment in the work place.
Guidance is given on preparing and defending a harassment case.
The authors, who have both been involved in a number of important
cases under the Act, detail all the available legal options, allowing
an informed choice as to the most appropriate action. All the various
types of injunctions and restraining orders are examined and compared
and numerous precedents are provided in the appendices.
Harassment Law & Practice is the one-stop resource for
any Practitioner involved in a harassment case.
