  • This is an extremely readable and comprehensive guide for the specialist practitioner and the less experienced practitioner alike. It deals with all aspects of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 (DAA 2021), covering criminal remedies as well as family remedies, and begins with an exploration of the context in which DAA 2021 came to life: this is essential reading, no matter the level of experience of the reader. It includes very useful research and case reports; particularly insightful are the introductory commentary sections which introduce the component parts, as well as the ‘critical commentaries’ which often appear, providing the insight of the expert practitioner which will be essential to those new to the subject.

    The introductory remarks will be a stark reminder for all of us who participated in the consultation and drafting of amendments to DAA
