This book is a practical guide to litigation arising out of the new
Electronic Communications Code. Its goal is to assist those who litigate
about code rights or code agreements on behalf of clients who own or
occupy land that is, or may become, subject to them.
This book begins by explaining the relevant rights which may be
conferred under the Code. This includes an analysis of its technical
requirements, and the highlighting of potential pitfalls which may arise
both in substantive disputes and the relevant tribunal procedures that
apply.
The text goes on to focus on the parts of the Code that are most likely
to have a substantial impact on landowners or occupiers, and so contains
a detailed consideration of the growing body of case law that is
developing on the most contentions aspects of the new code.
