Whether you are arguing with your landlord, looking for a refund, going to a protest or being harassed, this essential guide illuminates the full power of the law, and arms you with your rights, including:
– in a relationship
– at home
– out on the street
– when you’ve spent money, owe it or are owed it
From housing to relationships, police conduct to travel, this guide will give you the confidence and clarity to take control in any situation.

I purchased this based on the claim that it details people’s rights in various areas of law and I can say that I do not regret buying this book.
The author has done a fantastic job of explaining the law using terms anyone, that knows English, can understand. I hope I never have to exercise my rights but if I must then this book will aid me in doing so.
Would I recommend this book? Absolutely, is it worth the money? 100%
If you feel you are lacking insight as to what your rights are then do buy this book because after reading it, you will undoubtedly feel empowered armed with the knowledge this book provides.

I bought this book after recommendation from a family member WhatsApp group chat. I’m so glad I did, couldn’t put it down !
Relevant and practical law guide. Covers how the law will protect you and importantly…when and how to protect yourself.
To the Author: Thank you for this gift of knowledge , a master stroke.
I’ve encouraged my sons ..late teens/ early 20’s to read. I will definitely be purchasing more to pass on as gifts all year round.

A very nice concise useful book of “some” of our complicated UK law, but I read through it in an couple of hours. So for me I would have liked a bit more depth, a few more situation scenarios and perhaps how cases went in court. Perhaps a Volume 2 would be great.

This was an exceptional read that made some very complex and difficult information very easy to read and consume. This pocket size guide has been essential for my knowledge of my rights but it’s been integral in me supporting friends to be able to understand their rights and entitlements.
I love the anecdotes, the small pockets of humour and the real, tangible examples that bring the law to life.
I highly recommend this as a manual to inform and to guide but also something that acts as a catalyst for you to do more inspection and investigation.
Love the way it reads and I have already bought other people copies of this and will continue to go to this as a GO TO present for people of all ages from all walks of life.
