""This fantastic new looseleaf is the best work on fraud which I have ever seen. It contains everything a practitioner or judge will ever need to know about fraud. Edited by Clare Montgomery QC and Professor David Ormerod, and written by 'insiders' from all the main governmental agencies, together with leading defence and prosecution practitioners, the work provides a unique insight into and perspective on, all aspects of fraud law and procedure. It is written in a very clear style, with superb coverage of case management and trial procedure, and includes all vital legislative materials in the Precedents and Appendices. Though extremely comprehensive it is also portable and easy to transport - ideal for use in court, and I shall be recommending it as essential reading on all my JSB courses." " - HHJ Durham-Hall QC

""Lawyers and judges working in the field of fraud cover a number overlapping areas of practice due to the vast array and increasingly international nature of the conduct which constitutes "fraud". It is, therefore, high time for an authoritative and accessible work on the subject. This excellent work fills that gap and will, I predict, prove to be the first source of reference for fraud practitioners, whatever the case."" - Ian R Burton, Burton & Copeland Solicitors

"This outstanding looseleaf, put together by a stellar cast of editors and contributors, will doubtless be found on the shelf of every serious practitioner in this field. It is comprehensive, practical and erudite. I commend it without hesitation." " - Director of Public Prosecutions

""No fraud practitioner can afford to be without this looseleaf: Montgomery and Ormerod have assembled a hugely impressive array of academic and practitioner talent to produce a tome which, from the chapters I have reviewed, is learned, impressive and very readable. I shall buy it: I hope that my opponents do not." " - Edmund Lawson QC, Cloth Fair Chambers
