Opis

This book is concerned with the pleading and proof of foreign law in English courts. Fentiman argues that the law is both more complex and more defensible than had previously been supposed. By providing a practical guide to the subject, he presents the conflict of laws in a way which is both novel and illuminating.

Recenzje

This is a monograph of rare quality which will have a considerable impact on our understanding of its subject, and so both on teaching and practice.
