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, including the newly finalized Rome II Regulation. The book is invaluable for the practitioner as well as being one of the leading students' textbooks in the field, giving comprehensive and accessible coverage of the basic principles of private international law, a popular law school option.

It offers students, teachers and practitioners not only a rigorous academic examination of the subject, but also a practical guide to the complex subject of private international law. Written by academics who both previously worked as solicitors, there is extensive coverage of commercial topics such as the jurisdiction of various courts and their limitations, stays of proceedings and restraining foreign proceedings, the recognition and enforcement of judgments, the law of obligations with respect to contractual and non-contractual obligations. There are also sections on the various aspects of family law in private international law, and the law of property, including the transfer of property, administration of estates, succession and trusts.

Review:
This is an invaluable text for the practitioner faced with a private international law issue. It is clearly structured and the coverage is sufficently in depth to provide real answers to the type of questions which arise in practice. * Kirsty J Hood, Edinburgh Law Review *
