Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Oliver,

I have a copy of Keith’s and Roger’s books. Both are superb, I use Keth’s for the in depth and detailed narrative’s and case law references and use Roger’s when I’m explaining processes to people face to face (which inevitably leads them to o buy Roger’s book from Amazon - I wish I was on commission!)

David.

p.s. Keith’s is V. Expensive!

It really depends what you want. Pickavance is the most in depth and comprehensive book on the subject, L&L is an easy read and a good introduction.

Regards

Toby

Hi Oliver

The best one I have come across is About Time by Lowsley & Linnett as it gives the Asdjudicators view of the problem.

RICS bookshop.

Best regards

I have purchased book by Roger Gibson. It’s a good book compared to other books available in the market.

But, the best book i would recommend is by Keith Pickavance. But, its very expensive and i heard it has waiting time too.
