Being spread across several statutes of varying antiquity and many judicial decisions, compulsory purchase and compensation law can appear daunting. This authoritative book is your single accessible volume to this complex and wide-ranging area of the law. The Law of Compulsory Purchase sets out the practice, procedure, policy and valuation of a compulsory purchase and allows you to find the answers you need quickly and easily. It provides a summarised statement of the law and contains full cross-referencing to the relevant cases, statutory provisions and policy circulars. It also includes a full explanation of the scope of powers to acquire land compulsorily and the exercise of the powers and principles of compensation. The practical structure and style ensures that the relevant statutory provisions and cases to the matters in issue are easy to find. It both simplifies what can be simplified and explains with clarity the difficult areas. This book should be on the desk of every practitioner who has to advise upon this branch of law and every advocate who has to present a case in which it arises.

Such as consultation, internal processes, viability reports, environmental or equality matters, planning permission juxtaposed with the adverse impact on residents and settled communities. The book also challenges the fairness of the compensation of CPO affected residents, in light of the cumulative injurious effects in many areas of their lives. With emphasis on acquisitions by, inter alia, local authorities or public bodies, which inevitably attaches the jurisdiction of the ECHR and HRA 1998. It concludes with examination as to whether the associated legal remedies are practically or meaningfully enforceable with suggested proposals for reform.
Today's corporate deal makers face a conundrum: Though 70% of major acquisitions fail, it's nearly impossible to build a world-class company without doing deals. In Mastering the Merger, David Harding and Sam Rovit argue that a laserlike focus on just four key imperatives--before executives finalize the deal--can dramatically improve the odds of M&A success. Based on more than 30 years of in-the-trenches work on thousands of deals across a range of industries--and supplemented by extensive Bain & Co. research--Harding and Rovit reveal that the best M&A performers channel their efforts into (1) targeting deals that advance the core business; (2) determining which deals to close and when to walk away; (3) identifying where to integrate--and where not to; and (4) developing contingency plans for when deals inevitably stray. Top deal makers also favor a succession of smaller deals over complex "megamergers"--and essentially institutionalize a success formula over time. Helping executives zero in on what matters most in the complex world of M&A, Mastering the Merger offers a blueprint for the decisions and strategies that will beat the odds.
