As well as all of this law, there is a plethora of decisions of the courts and tribunals which shape the way that the law is applied, along with various models standards for conditions on licences and guidance notes for local authorities that are produced by government departments. Most of this can be obtained online, or through various subscription library services.
Specialising in this area of law takes many years of practice and choosing the right solicitor to advise you means asking questions about their experience and ability.
