Stone s justices manual 2009
Stone's Justices' Manual is a book published by LexisNexis Butterworths. It is "the standard work on summary procedure". It displaced Burn's Justices of the Peace as the standard work on that subject from 1850 onwards. By 1914, it was old, well-established and formidably large.
Stone's Justices' Manual is published in June of every year, with an updating supplement published in October. An accompanying CD-ROM contains the full text plus additional resources such as the All England Law Reports.
Stone's Justices' Manual covers civil procedure, criminal law and litigation and provides comprehensive coverage of all new and amended legislation affecting the magistrates' courts. It also includes hundreds of new cases that set precedents or clarify particular principles of law. Acts in recent years include: Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014; Children and Families Act 2014; Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014; London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2013; Mesothelioma Act 2014; Offender Rehabilitation Act 2014; Scrap Metals Act 2013
