How do you assess an extension of time? When should you notify your insurer of a potential claim? Law in Practice answers all of these questions and many more.

These special examples of British Modernism include such progressive experiments on communal urban living as London's Isokon Building, completed in 1934 by eminent architect Wells Coates, and Berthold Lubetkin's Highpoint, which is today considered one of the most prominent examples of the early International Style. Compared with these urban enormities are private houses, suc...
