Halsbury's Laws of England
- Halsbury's Laws of England
Halsbury's Laws of England is a definitive encyclopedic treatise on the laws of England published by LexisNexis Butterworths. It includes restatements of the common law with remarks to the relevant judicial authority and the statutory law which has in many cases codified, modified or supplemented common law. It contains a total of fifty-six volumes. The treatise is named for its original editor and compiler, the Earl of Halsbury.
In November 2007 Halsbury's Laws of England celebrated its centenary.
Although accepted as a reliable source by academics and practitioners it should be noted that it is only updated on a volume by volume rolling basis. Therefore it should not be relied upon as a definitive statement of the current state of the law in any area. Its best use is as a starting point from which further research should stem.
