Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
The Blackstone's Guide Series delivers concise and accessible books covering the latest legislative changes and amendments. Published within weeks of the Act, they offer expert commentary by leading names on the effects, extent and scope of the legislation, plus a full copy of the Act itself. They offer a cost-effective solution to key information needs and are the perfect companion for any practitioner needing to get up to speed with the latest changes.
The Civil Partnerships Act 2004 is a ground-breaking piece of legislation which allows for the first time, adult same-sex couples to create a legal status similar to marriage, a 'Civil Partnership'. The Act received Royal Assent in November 2004 and is expected to come into force in late 2005/early 2006.
The purpose of the Act is to remedy the discrimination present in existing legislation, against gay and lesbian couples. It provides civil partners with the same rights and obligations as spouses and provides same sex couples who do not register as civil partners, with the same rights and obligations as unmarried opposite sex couples. It also amends a variety of existing statutes (including the Family Law Act 1996, the Children Act 1989 and the Inheritance Act 1975) and registration and
dissolution of civil partnerships and the financial arrangements between civil partners.
This Guide contains a copy of the Act and places it in context, explaining clearly how it fits with current arrangements for same sex partners. The Guide is extensively cross referenced to existing statues relating to married couples, to show how some of the provisions mirror or are comparable with the new Act. It contains step-by-step practical guides to aid understanding and is an ideal quick reference resource for practitioners in the field.
