Butterworths Local Government Finance

Butterworths Local Government Finance is an analytical account of the main areas of local government finance law written in a practical and readable style. Primarily aimed at lawyers employed in, or acting for, local and central government and those who deal with them, this book covers all aspects of local government finance except rating and local taxation, which is dealt with extensively in Ryde on Rating and the Council Tax. This work is divided into four parts. The first three cover general aspects including a basic outline of the legal structure of local government relevant to financial matters and sources of income and spending power, while part four deals with selected and more topical areas of the law. It is a convenient, portable work considering both legislation and case law and offers clear and practical guidance to help practitioners find their way in a complex and fast-moving area of the law.
