Rupert DeVille is happy. This evening Rupert has planned to surprise his girlfriend, Carla by proposing to her over a romantic meal. When Rupert is on his way to work that morning he is snatched off the street by two men in a white van. Live with Rupert during his abduction, learn about his dysfunctional parents, his fears, his dreams for the future and his love for Carla. Meanwhile, at home, Carla learns that Rupert is missing. Carla starts a frantic search to find Rupert and enlists the help of Rupert's employer, George, who is just about to retire. As Carla searches for Rupert we find out about her Fathers sudden death, her Mothers depression and Carla's own wayward past. Rupert, Carla & the General is a thrilling suspense romance written with a touch of wit and humour that will keep you turning page after page. Paul White has the rare ability to bring characters to life, making them real people with feelings, worries and inner doubts, just like you and I. Paul White has masterly crafted Rupert, Carla & the General into a work that leads the reader astray, down the dark alleyways of the past, before bringing them back into the glaring light of the present. Paul manages to do all this while weaving a mixture of laugh-out-loud humour and offbeat wit into the story.

This fourth edition of Precedent in English Law presents a basic guide to the current doctrine of precedent in England, set in the wider context of the jurisprudential problems which any treatment of this topic involves. Such problems include the nature of _ratio_ _decidendi_ of a precedent and of its binding force, the significance of precedents alongside other sources of law, their role in legal reasoning, and the account which must be taken of them by any general theory of law. Considerable re-writing has been undertaken to update case-law and take account of the possible implications for the doctrine of precedent of the impact of European Community law, making it an indispensable work of reference for readers interested in the past history, present state, and future developments of English rules of precedent.
