Opis

Government, in all of its guises, plays a significant, controversial, and sometimes hidden, role in class actions reform and litigation.

Recenzje

'Mulheron weaves together a stunning kaleidoscope to view class actions through the lens of government. Her imaginative analytical framework and choice of targeted examples deliver fascinating insights into the class action regimes in their cultural and political context, but with a rigour that Mulheron unfailingly delivers. A must for the novice and the specialist.' Peta Spender, Australian National University
