Recenzje

This book is an exquisite piece of work. It couples empirical research with theory and doctrine and casts a brilliant light on the use of civil process against the proceeds of crime. It is book-ended by highly informed analysis. The first pages disclose an awareness of the terminological, and substantive confusion that infuses proceeds of crime law that is rarely demonstrated elsewhere. The middle text weaves a hefty knowledge of civil processes, rights, and criminal law onto a vexing and very popular tool. It synthesizes and dissects a vast body of law - from scholarship to court decisions to the actual functioning of civil recovery processes in their real encounters. It will be of value to the Irish, England and Welsh, and European policy makers, practitioners and wider communities, but is also instrumental in understanding the fusion of civil process and crime in any jurisdiction. The content offered herein warrants wide dissemination.
