No-Fault litigation is, in the words of Judge Charles J. Markey, "a
Frankenstein monster that has assumed a life force of its own,
becoming so unmanageable and uncontrollable that it acts out in
ways never envisioned by its creator." And 25% of all lawsuits in
the New York City Civil Court system are no-fault suits. The
No-Fault regulations are complex, difficult to understand, and they
leave many questions unanswered, requiring New York claims
examiners, lawyers and judges to make decisions every day for which
there is no clear guidance in the law.
And yet despite the enormous size, scope and complexity of
No-Fault practice, there has never been a published guide for those
who struggle with this field. Until now.

This book presents the remarkable constitutional reforms undertaken
by the Blair and Brown governments in the UK. The reforms are
remarkable in that they had the potential to change the way Britons
understood the national identity of the UK. The book illuminates
the ambitions of the key players in Whitehall and Westminster and
is enriched through a study of comparable constitutional reforms in
Canada and Australia: the Charter of Rights and Freedoms pioneered
by Pierre Trudeau and the attempt by Paul Keating to make Australia
a Republic. The Canadian and Australian chapters are a contribution
to the political history of those nations and a device for
understanding the changes in Britain. The author is an expert in
the use of Freedom of Information and was a senior policy maker in
Whitehall working primarily on constitutional reform. Readers will
benefit from the author's unrivalled access to interviewees and
documentary sources in the three countries covered in the book.
