Preventive law helps us to avoid common legal problems and disputes. Preventive law enables us to protect our legal entitlements and to minimise many of the unpleasant consequences of legal situations. Preventive law, when practised properly, helps people to save on legal costs, save time and reduce stress and trauma, all of which inevitably flow from legal conflict.

This is a book that can save time and money, and ward off anxiety for people who plan to: * marry or live with someone * lend money * borrow money * repay a debt * employ a tradesman * make a major purchase * respond to a legal demand * avoid a breach of contract.

And for people who: * work in an environment which is potentially dangerous to one's health or safety * are involved in a car accident * are involved in a physical fight * are involved in a neighborhood dispute * are uninsured * become a single parent * separate or plan to divorce * break the law or have trouble with the police * want to prevent crime
