Ownership inscription to front pastedown. 196pp. + 8pp. publisher catalogue. Contents clean and bright. Sir Alan Patrick Herbert CH (known as A. P. Herbert; 24 September 1890 - 11 November 1971), was an English humorist, novelist, playwright, law reformist, and, from 1935 to 1950, an independent Member of Parliament for Oxford University. Starting in 1910, he contributed regularly to the magazine Punch. One series of his that it published was Misleading Cases in the Common Law, the work for which he is best remembered. They were satirical pieces in the form of "law reports" or "legal judgments" on various aspects of the English legal and judicial system. Even the title of the series is a humorous allusion to the entirely serious "Smith's Leading Cases". Beneath their satire, they often made cogent legal or political points that tied into his personal crusades against obsolescent legislation. Although fictional, they are sometimes quoted in judicial decisions, and are also the subject of academic research. RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.
