"What I find staggering is the scope of this work and the practical advice delivered in plain English…The golden touch is that this former district judge is a wonderful ‘explainer’..Those who are lawyers such as me and Peter Thompson QC will learn something -perhaps an awful lot- from this magnificent work."
Professor Dominic Regan, New Law Journal
"It is a book that should be in every public library, at every legal advice centre and on the bedside table of every litigant in person."
James Morton, The Times
“Breaking Law is an amusing, entertaining, and incredibly useful book explaining how to make the law work for you, not against you. If you’ve ever wondered what a judge would say about any legal predicament you find yourself in, well here’s the answer!”
Piers Morgan, broadcaster and writer
“Written clearly and with a real sense of fun, at last a text which strips bare the complexities of our legal system so you, too, can “survive without a lawyer”..... Our Law, at last, accessible to us.”
Anna Botting, Sky News
"Fun to read but a vital source of knowledge if you are thinking of using the courts"
Justin Webb BBC Radio 4
"Unquestionably the legal book of the year, if not the decade. This is the work of a genius."
Professor Dominic Regan, New Law Journal
“A master-class in civil procedure. Whatever your case is about Stephen Gold sets you on the path to winning or (since this is England) losing well. The specimen witness statement about the sale of 62 Wayne Rooney miniatures had me in stitches. A litigant in person would find it all very useful and the seasoned lawyer would learn something too. I did.”
Peter Thompson QC, General Editor of the Civil Court Practice (the “Green Book’)
"stuffed full of practical hints from a former solicitor and judge. Although written with the litigant in person and non-lawyer in mind, solicitors will also benefit from the insight."
David Pickup, Law Society Gazette
"A magnificent tome. A ‘must read’ for any student or lover or the law.”
Fred Dinenage, Television Presenter and writer
“An absolute *must* for someone who is suing, or being sued, and is doing it without a lawyer.”
Daniel Barnett, barrister and legal talk show presenter LBC
"Every recipient of this star publication will thank you time and time again for this intimate knowledge of how to tackle the minor (and not so minor !) annoyances in life. Once you pick it up, it’s hard to put it down again, tackling these issues in an extremely informative, understandable and entertaining manner."
