Iris Reuvecamp, well-known barrister and solicitor of the High Court of New Zealand and a Solicitor of the Senior Courts of England and Wales, has been practising as a health and disability law specialist for twenty years, both as in-house counsel and as an external adviser. She has only been an updating author with Thomson Reuters for a couple of years but in that time she has undertaken significant reviews of the chapters in Family Law – Incapacity and now here we are – two wonderful Acts and Analysis books of the discipline’s major legislation, giving the profession practical guidance that can be relied on, by a steely and experienced practitioner in the business.

Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988: Act and Analysis (3rd edition) and Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act 1992: Act and Analysis contain the full Acts, respectively, with section-by-section commentary that includes analysis and reference to case judgments, and introductions giving an overview of the Acts and through which you can see the development of the legislation over the years.

Iris’s skills as an author are no surprise to us at Thomson Reuters, nor to anyone in the industry. With a reputable corpus of journal articles to her name, that everyone involved in health and disability law will have come across at some point in their research, Iris was also co-editor with John Dawson on Mental Capacity Law in New Zealand, a book also published by Thomson Reuters in 2019 and bringing together, in a series of essays (a number of which are also authored by Iris), the knowledge and guidance of well-known leaders and recognised experts in the field.

We feel very fortunate to have Iris providing quality material for our Family Law – Incapacity customers; working in that field is a calling. And because we assume that Iris doesn’t sleep, we can now also provide this extra assistance in a handy and convenient format, giving our hard-working, driven customers the top-level advice and analysis you need in any form of family law.
