As a discrimination lawyer with a specific interest in disability discrimination I was keen to read this book. It is always interesting to see how the subject is explained by writers—ignorance of the Disability Discrimination Act is still far too common. I found this thorough and practical book to be a useful aid for busy employment lawyers. At over 400 pages the authors have thoroughly covered this dynamic and challenging area.

To make the best of a book like this it is important to have an accessible layout and on the first page of each chapter there is a mini index that highlights what is covered in the chapter. There are numbered paragraphs on each page which help to break up the text.

Time and thought have also gone into the index where most readers will go to locate their query in a hurry.
