Spring has arrived in Edinburgh and the crocuses are flowering in the Meadows. Although perhaps they should be more cautious - there's
still a snell wind and frost at night. Snow is still a possibility, we've seen it in June here!

priced at £125.

companies in particular and the book provides practical guidance on setting up compliance procedures.

The Coalition and the
Constitution
V Bogdanor
Publisher: Hart Publishing
Expected Publication Date: 30/03/11
ISBN: 9781849461580
£20.00 Pbk
'England', Benjamin Disraeli famously said, `does not love coalitions'.
But 2010 saw the first peace-time coalition in Britain since the 1930s.
The coalition, moreover, may well not be an aberration. For there are
signs that, with the rise in strength of third parties, hung parliaments
are more likely to recur than in the past. Perhaps, therefore, the era
of single-party majority government, to which we have become accustomed
since 1945, is coming to an end. But is the British constitution
equipped to deal with coalition? Are alterations in the procedures of
parliament or government needed to cope with it?
The inter-party agreement between the coalition partners proposes a wide ranging series of constitutional reforms, the most important of
which are fixed-term parliaments and a referendum on the alternative vote electoral system, to be held in May 2011. The coalition is also
proposing measures to reduce the size of the House of Commons, to directly elect the House of Lords and to strengthen localism. These
reforms, if implemented, could permanently alter the way we are governed.
This book analyses the significance of coalition government for Britain and of the momentous constitutional reforms which the coalition is
proposing. In doing so it seeks to penetrate the cloud of polemic and partisanship to provide an objective analysis for the informed
citizen.

International Pre-Nuptial
and Post-Nuptial Agreements
D Salter
Publisher: Jordan Publishing
Expected Publication Date: 30/03/11
ISBN: 9781846612312
£95.00 Pbk
In an ever more international world, the issue of divorce often implies a foreign element, resulting from the different nationalities of the
spouses , the location of their estates or their country of residence. European Regulation EC 2201/2003 provides for a choice of
jurisdictions in divorce matters and this has encouraged the phenomenon of divorce shopping.
Most national laws provide for a contractual system whereby spouses can organise, to some extent , the financial consequences of
marriage breakdown. Often these contractual agreements will be drafted pursuant to the law of the country where the marriage is to be
celebrated or/and where the spouses reside. The difficulty in the case of divorce is that such contracts may not be recognised or enforced
by another country which may have jurisdiction over the breakdown of the marriage of the parties.
It has therefore become increasingly important to understand the specific requirements of these countries in relation to the
recognition and enforcement of the contractual documents involved, in order to ensure their validity in the eventuality of a divorce
taking place in one of these countries.
With contributions from a number of fellows of the International Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (IAML) in jurisdictions such as
France, Australia, England, Canada, Switzerland and the United States, this work looks at how each individual jurisdiction approaches
pre-nuptial agreements and also considers the thornier issue of agree ments which cover couples involved in more than one
jurisdiction.
