Sexually Transmitted Debt: Surety Experience and English Law (Oxford Socio-Legal Studies)

Sexually Transmitted Debt is the first major study of an increasingly evident social and legal problem: the provision of third party loan security by a spouse/partner for the business debts of the other spouse/partner. Belinda Fehlberg brings a multi-pronged approach to the issue, layering detailed legal analysis with consideration of relevant sociological literature and empirical research. The result is a very readable text in which the gap between the law and practical experience clearly emerges.
