About This Item
London: A Methuen Humour Classic, 1984 Albert Haddock, the hero of countless lawsuits in A.P. Herbert's misleading cases, made his first public appearance in Punch about 1924. 'I have always understood that I invented him,' the author writes in his introduction, but he has made some disturbing escapes into real life.' Case number 32 in which Mr Haddock makes out a cheque on a cow and leads it to the office of the Collector of Taxes is one such escape: as a result of the first BBC television series of Misleading Cases it was reported in an American newspaper as a serious news item. A check can be written on a cow' ran the headline. This collection of Misleading Cases contains many more sly jests at the absurdities of English law and will teach the reader more about the legal processes than lawyers know themselves. ----------------- 494 pages of hilarity ---------- Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
