Powers of Attorney 4th edition remains the only text that provides a current, detailed and dedicated treatment of Australian law surrounding powers of attorney. It is not confined to Australian law, though, but uses law from the principal common law countries to contextualise our law, and to provide guidance where Australian law may be lacking. The prevalence of powers of attorney — particularly of the enduring variety— makes the work increasingly important over time, especially in view of Australia’s ageing population.
