David Grant and Stephen Mason’s Holiday Law can safely assert its status as the authority on all things vacation –although admittedly the text covers the less scintillating and more law-oriented aspects of taking a break.
Now in its fifth edition and published by Sweet & Maxwell, the handbook sets out to examine emerging legal and regulatory developments in the holiday market, including low-cost airlines, online travel agencies, tailor-made packages and direct booking with hotels.
While these innovations can often provide an element of convenience, they can also venture into uncharted territory in terms of legality, suggest the authors.
Holiday Law aims to help readers navigate the often difficult legal questions arising from such newly created services; the book also offers guidelines to those unfortunate consumers who may need to litigate over a range of travel-related issues.
Although the book claims to be helpful for consumers, it is also pitched at lawyers, as it highlights the importance and implications of recent case law.
With commentary on the effects of insolvency, the legal status of tour operators, and civil liability, the tome is nothing if not comprehensive.
