Reginald Mckenna: Financier Among Statesmen, 1863-1916

Farr, Martin

Routledge

Reginald McKenna has never been the subject of scholarly attention. This was partly due to his own preference for appearing at the periphery of events even when ostensibly at the centre, and the absence of a significant collection of private papers.  This new book redresses the neglect of this major statesmen and financier partly through the natural advance of historical research, and partly by the discoveries of missing archival material. McKenna's role is now illuminated by his own reflections, and by the correspondence of friends and colleagues, including Asquith, Churchill, Keynes, Baldwin, Bonar Law, MacDonald, and Chamberlain. McKenna's presence at the hub of political life in the first half of the century is now clear: in the radical Liberal governments of 1905–16, where he acted as a lightning conductor for the party; during the war, where he served as the Prime Minister's deputy and the principal voice for restraint in the conduct of the war; and as chairman of the world's largest bank, where until his death in office aged eighty, he prompted progressive policies to deal with the issues of war debt, trade, mass unemployment, and the return to gold.

The Surveyors' Expert Witness Handbook

A handbook on providing expert evidence on valuations of commercial properties - including civil actions, rent review arbitrations, lands tribunal cases and rating appeals. The object of this book is to provide the commercial property valuer with a general introduction to providing expert evidence in a litigation context, the rules, requirements and the pitfalls for the unwary. Particular trouble has been taken to emphasise the need for quality evidence based on relevant experience which is objective, unbiased, independent, and of sufficient quality to resist challenges before the courts, tribunals and arbitrators. This handbook will help the practitioner to start off on the right course and be forewarned of the issues which he or she is likely to face. As always, there is no substitute for practical experience, but it is hoped that as a result of this handbook greater professional awareness and interest will be generated leading to higher standards of valuation expert evidence in all commercial property fields. ·There is no other book on expert evidence in specific valuation sectors ·A practical handbook related to actual experience ·Eight appendices containing further information on CPR Part 35 and Practice Direction, RICS Practice Statement and Guidance Notes (2nd Edition), Code of Guidance, Example Conditions of Engagement, Expert's report - example headings and compliance, RICS Rental Evidence Pro-forma, Table of Cases, Useful Addresses and Websites.
