The Statutory Regulation of Business Tenancies »

Michael Haley is Reader in Law at Keele University, formerly a practicing solicitor who has written extensively on the law of landlord and tenant.

The book aims to provide a clear and in-depth analysis of the complex and technical workings of the 1927 and 1954 Landlord and Tenant acts. It also offers a detailed and up-to-date consideration of case law, both reported and unreported. The policy factors which initially brought about the legislative controls, and continued to shape its development, are identified and prospective reforms discussed.
