The first book in this series, Weird Cases, was published in 2009 and contained cases which had been dealt with by the courts in the previous two years. The parade of extraordinary human disputes and irregularities that are heard in law courts has, however, run on unabated since then. More Weird Cases provides a further instalment of extraordinary cases from around the world that have featured in the author’s popular column in The Times Online. The cases featured in More Weird Cases are those that truly stand out as odd, even among all the unusual dramas that challenge the courts: the case of the man caught with a substantial quantity of marijuana who said in his defence that he only possessed the drug for the purposes of de-worming his ducks; a case where the court authorities didn’t accept that ‘being a cat’ was a proper excuse not to serve on a jury; and one where a man was granted a divorce because his wife thought about having sex with another man. This book is a highly entertaining read for anyone who enjoys reading about the more bizarre aspects of human life that fetch up in the law courts at the beginning of the 21st century.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. Almost as new, two volumes, hardbacks in pictorial dust jackets (very gentle reading wear). Two volumes of based on the author's popular Times Online column, Weird Cases, draws on many countries and courtrooms. Cases featured are those which stand out as truly odd, from judges turning off a musical tie while sentencing a convict to prison to flipping a coin to decide a case to a man basing his defence on being as hapless as Homer Simpson. Would make a lovely gift set for those interested in the operation of the law and all its quirkiness. 0. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 001040
