Doglaw on Demand

On the link below, you can get immediate access to a new video on Breed Specific Legislation by Solicitor Trevor Cooper.  Running time is approximately 43 mins.  For an online payment of £20, you have a 7-day rental of this video so you can watch it as often as you wish during this period.

You will be able to access notes which are linked from a QR Code on the video itself.  We also provide QR Codes which take you to several other documents that Trevor refers to (such as the legislation and the DEFRA Guidance).  If you cannot access these documents/notes via the QR Codes, please call Doglaw Ltd on 0800 999 3647 during normal office hours and we can email the notes to you (and the notes have links which will take you to the same documents).
 
Please note that nothing in this video (or the notes) shall be construed as providing legal advice.  If you have a specific legal query, please call Cooper & Co on 01227 20 33 20 during normal office hours and they may be able to offer you a fixed fee telephone advice call.
