This book has become the standard work for lawyers and surveyors specialising in the leisure sector. In view of the significant changes that have taken place over the last few years this second edition has been comprehensively updated and includes new chapters on golf courses and garden centres. The range of leisure properties treated in case studies includes city centre and country hotels, cinemas and theatres, and restaurants and night-clubs. In addition there are sections on rating, taxation, compulsory purchase and a guide to the laws which particularly affect leisure property.
