Industry Reviews
This is an enormously impressive book on a highly topical issue...a wonderful book. It is carefully argued with considerable sensitivity to the legal complexities raised. It combines a detailed knowledge and commitment to the law system with a passion to find better ways of recognizing care...and in doing that...has provided an invaluable contribution to the literature. -- Jonathan Herring * Journal of Social Welfare and Family Law, Volume 35, Issue 4 *
This reconsideration of the informal care relationship which is made possible through the explosion of some of its associated myths and the expose of some of the areas within which the law fails to protect those worthy of its reach make this an insightful and valuable book. The analysis is both thoughtful and sensitive and, although beyond the book's stated scope, references to the provisions of public law and the wider social context within which care takes place are provided, enabling the important task of joining this study to the work of others and to the debates concerning care's place in its wider law and policy domains. The references to other jurisdictions add a rich comparative dimension to the central study, as does the contemporary contextualisation, providing a cohesive social commentary that runs through the fairly forensic treatment applied to each of the disparate areas under review... essential reading for those concerned with law's application to informal care-giving. -- Nicole Busby * The Edinburgh Law Review, Volume 17 *
... I found this book fascinating and a very valuable contribution to the growing literature on carers. -- Anne Stewart * Social & Legal Studies, Volume 23(3) *
Informal Carers and Private Law carries important potential: it provides a way of thinking about informal care issues, and consequently social policy, through the categories and concepts of private law...[The book is] an example of how private law can provide language and concepts for political thought. -- Nick Piska * Feminists@Law *
