Summary
The new edition of this well-established and highly regarded work has been fully updated to encompass the major changes and developments in the law. The book is invaluable for the practitioner as well as being one of the leading students' textbooks in the field.
Additional text
This very well-established book needs no introduction. With contributions from an expanded team of private international law experts, the text covers almost all aspects of English private international law. Especially because it is the last edition on the English position immediately prior to Brexit, this latest edition is a most welcome product. ... It is an understatement to say that this is a huge research resource but being a huge research resource is also why it is so valuable to everyone.
