An excellent, student-friendly, book on company law., 21 Sep 2000
This book very successfully adopts the cases and materials approach. The extracts of statutes, cases and journal articles which are included have been selected carefully. The accompanying text sets the issues out in clear and accessible terms. This book should enable students to gain a good level of understanding of this complex subject as it is quite readable but also maintains a good level of academic depth. A wide range of aspects of company law are included so the book should be suitable for most courses. It is particularly strong in the area of insolvency which is often neglected in company law textbooks.

A good book on the subject, 29 Apr 2008
Of course the book is meant to be read by lawyers. This is a complex subject but the book is comprehensive and sufficiently detailed. Overall a very good reference for lawyers interested in the IT industry. I had most of the writers as lecturers at Queen Mary's LLM. Most of the chapters covered in the book correspond with subjects covered in the master. Deserves at least 4 stars...

Dont wate your money on this book, 24 Feb 2004
Unlñess you are an MIT graduate, whith a scholarship from NASA you will not understand this book. And it is oriented to lawyers!!!!!!

An essential read and invaluable resource, 21 Mar 2002
Computer Law edited by Reed and Angel is now in its fourth edition demonstrating the rapidly developing and continually changing nature of this area of law. It is written in a clear and comprehensive way ensuring the reader is not required to have any prior knowledge or understanding of either the law or of computer systems. Yet, the extensive detail included in the text provides the more knowledgeable reader with adequate additional information to undertake a deeper analysis of the issues raised. To anyone with an interest in these fields, either from a legal or an IT approach, this text is likely to become an invaluable resource. It presents detailed coverage of specific legal issues to be considered through an information technology perspective. Reference is made to how existing legal principles can give rise to particular problems when applied in this context and possible solutions to these conflicts are put forward, thereby adding a practical dimension to the study of the subject.

The book includes fourteen chapters covering a spectrum of subjects falling within the broad remit of computer law. The chapters have been written by a number of contributors currently working either within industry or academia and their résumés make for impressive reading. The book includes chapters on Liability, Copyright, Electronic Commerce, Patent Protection for Computer-Related Inventions and Data Protection, examples which have been selected to illustrate how topical, relevant areas of law are addressed by this text. Each chapter examines in detail the legal issues raised, discussing the provisions of applicable legislation and related case law. To summarise, Computer Law is suitable for all levels of readership, providing a wealth of information in a clear, accessible way for newcomers but with sufficient detail for those wishing to undertake a more in depth examination of issues.

VERY USEFUL, 24 Mar 2008
This book is an absolute beast and granted there is such an abundance of information it can be quite daunting and diffuclt to navigate however this is so comprehensive and in depth that it is ideal for any competition law student looking to write a good essay though granted it would be a great challenge to use it as a revision material. I used this book to help me in an essay and found it the best in the market and got a very good grade thanks to its guidance.

loads of unstructured information, 25 Apr 2003
The quality of the chapters is very uneven. The one on intellectual property rights is excellent; the rest of the book is confusing and contains loads of unstructured information.

This book is of no use for practitioners or students alike.

Not too entertaining, 27 Apr 2001
Accurate and interesting. However, this "blue/green peril" is too long and does not completely convince me; there are some areas which are not well covered and some others, where the analysis is though too long, unfocused. The good textbook on EC competition law remains to be written.

A comprehensive and unvaluable guide on Competition law., 23 Apr 2001
This is not a book for those who want to have a good overview of competition law (Whish or Goyder are more helpful in that respect due to a more accesible approach and length, but it is exactly what it was needed; an in-depth and detailed study of competition law in such a well structured and detailed manner that can be compared to the Craig & De Burcca "EU Law".

As it happens with the excellent book by Craig and De Burcca, it would take months of exclusive dedication and full-time work to study its whole content but for competition lawyers it will be an essential instrument to solve specific questions and doubts.

Two thums up, Alison and Brenda!

A trainer's perspective, 16 Jul 2004
As a an accredited trainer for the BCS/ISEB Certificate in Data Protection I am often asked to recommend text books. This for me is by far the best on the market today. I used the first edition of Peter's book and now recommend the latest edition. It wins for me because it is a 'readable' book that manages to explain the Act in clear language with good supporting illustrations and relevant case law without talking down to the reader. Unlike many legal books the reader is not faced with the need to constantly flick backwards and forwards in an effort to understand the references. The inclusion of the Act and other legislation in one volume is another added bonus. I'm not going to go so far as to say 'pack this in your case when you go on holiday' but I'm sure you get the message.

Highly recommended, 06 Mar 2004
The first edition of this book has been invaluable to me as a website designer. I am delighted to see this new edition contains a chapter on websites, privacy policies, use of opt-out clauses, etc. As far as I can tell, Carey’s book gives the best explanation of the law in a practical context of any text book out there. Highly recommended.
