This book was first published in 1983 as a practitioners' guide to the Commercial Court. In two years it has established itself as a major work in a complex field. It is an indication of the dynamic nature of the Court that a second edition is needed within three years. In its second edition - The Practive and Procedure of the Commercial Court follows the same step by step, constructive approach to practising in this rapidly-evolving area of law. The original work has been revised to take account of the many changes in procedure consequent on appeals from arbitration awards under the Arbitration Act 1979; the Report of the Commercial Court Committee Working Party and consolidation of the practice relating to Mareva injunctions - thus building on the in-depth analysis of the first edition.

The arrival of the SS Empire Windrush in 1948 inaugurated the process of post-war black migration into Britain. With ethnic minorities now firmly established in Britain it is time to take stock of the state of contemporary ethnic relations. Race Relations in Britain brings together leading experts in the field to explore key issues. With a concluding essay by Peter Newsam, an influential figure in highlighting and combating racial discrimination, this book assesses the success of the 1976 Race Relations Act and finds that there is still much work to be done to ensure equality for ethnic minorities in Britain.
