Stock & Availability Policy

We hold an impressive stock covering all Law subjects. Although we carry a wide range of stock, inclusion of a Title on this Website/Pricelist does not guarantee that we have a copy on the shelf. Some titles have to be ordered in from the publishers before dispatch.

Lead Times: Publishers typically take about 7 days if ordered locally and a month if ordered internationally, but this can vary.

The Availability status on the Website is the latest information we have from the Publisher. Please email or telephone if you require more information about the expected delivery date for a particular title.
