cases challenging this legislation. He

looks at the cases of

Mulder, Von

Deetzen, Spagl, Pastatter

and

Pauh

and the Regulations passed to remedy

the partial invalidity of various Milk

Quota Regulations exposed by these

cases. Finally in the context of the

legislation he looks at its deficiencies

and recent reforms.

The final three chapters of the book

deal with the practical effects of the

quotas - quota transfers, landlord and

tenant issues and taxation. The chapter

on quota transfers provides a very

good overview of this crucial area both

from the perspective of EU and UK

law. The last two chapters analyse the

impact of milk quotas on landlord and

tenant law and taxation in the United

Kingdom.

The most appealing feature of this

book is that it is much more than an

academic treatment of the subject. The

writer shows a thorough understanding

of the dairy industry and the context

within which milk quotas operate. This

practical slant distinguishes this book

from the overly academic approach

taken in other EU law texts, whose

authors seem almost afraid to

acknowledge that the cases or

doctrines which they write about have

an effect on people's lives. In short

"Milk Quotas" is an indispensable

reference work for any practitioner

involved in agricultural law.

At the end of the day, many hope that

the daily toil will not disappear totally

in the sand - in the face of the

incoming tide. There are many sands

on the beach; we live in a crowded

profession. There is the possibility that

some may make their mark.

One can only admire the courage,

tenacity and intellectual rigour of the

scholar, who, in the words of

Justice

Oliver Wendell Holmes,

generates

"fragments of his fleece" that he or she

will leave "upon the [intellectual]

hedges of life".

contribution to labour law.

In his preface, the author refers to the

complexity of the legislation

governing termination of employment.

Mary Laherty,

Employment Appeals Tribunal writes

that

Mr Kerr

has succeeded in

providing the practitioner with a

comprehensive overview of how the

statutory provisions governing termin-

ation of employment have been inter-

preted by the Tribunal and the Courts.

All current statutory provisions are set

together with all textual amendments,

adaptations and repeals. An analytical
