Personal, non-legal writings, some satirical and some not. Includes pieces on Nelson Mandela and the re consecration of Tsar Nicholas II in St Petersburg, where Kerry was present. A very different side of Kerry comes across in these pieces.
This book consists of pieces written by Kerry Underwood in relation to aspects of the legal system and reforms and so called liberalisation. These are generally light-hearted and Andrew Twambley of InjuryLawyers4U has four pieces included.
The book also contains much more serious sections on the way that the National Health Service Litigation Authority has systematically misrepresented the way clinical negligence claims are dealt with and lied to in Parliament.
The book has a section on the conduct of some insurance companies.
