Review
'The third edition of this introductory text is worth its modest paperback price, not only for its few but essential pages on arbitration, and its sensible chapter on 'reasons for and basis of the conflict of laws', but also for the clarity and dependability of the whole of the text, setting out the basic principles which everyone involved in dispute resolution should know.' Arbitration Journal
'... the author had clearly accomplished the challenging task of comprehending the complex subject of conflict of laws in a succinct and user friendly way ... Colliers text with its refined presentation would provide to be popular among law students. Legal practitioners and academics on the other hand would also find the text equally useful , for its added value identified in various parts of this review. In general, the text which is already in its third edition is a very valuable addition in any legal scholar's library with its extensive reference of nearly one thousand case laws and latest legislative developments both in the UK and the EU on this subject. In conclusion the potential of the book is versatile, which is not only educative but also authoritative that could be cited in legal practice and legal research.' R. Muruga Perumal, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Macau
