Essays in International Litigation and the Conflict of Laws

`This volume is to be warmly welcomed. Its success is as a scholarly work that will be widely used by practitioners.' The Lawyer `Dr Lawrence Collins's academic output is prolific not just in conflict of laws but also in European law and public international law ... a thought-provoking insight into the "real" world of international litigation where the availability of pre-emptive remedies changes the course of actions ... It is a startingly good collection.' Cambridge Law Journal `Il est à plus d'un titre exemplaire ... De sorte que cet ouvrage fait non seulement emprunter au lecteur un itinéraire intellectuel de grande envergure, mais lui procure ègalement un éclairage particulièrement pénétrant quant à l'évolution rècente du droit positif anglais.' Revue Critique de droit Internationale Priv'e `this volume will be a valuable addition to the library of anyone concerned with international litigation. It is heartening to see a practitioner of Mr Collins's stature adopting so scholarly an approach to legal problems, instead the pedestrian approach too frequently favoured by both academic and practitioner.' Journal of International Banking Law `a thought-provoking insight into the "real" world of international litigation where the availability of pre-emptive remedies changes the course of actions ... It is a startlingly good collection.' Cambridge Law Journal `There is no doubt that the English conflict of laws is today dominated by Dr Collins ... his is a point of view which carries uncommon weight ... the publication of the present volume of collected papers serves as a timely reminder of the way the nature of the subject may be seen to have changed ... It is a rare and happy privilege to have the Hague Lectures in accessible and just-about-affordable form. They are very good indeed ... the privilege of listening to the Hague Lectures must have been a real joy; and reading them is little less than that. For these alone the volume is worth its price.' Law Quarterly Review `The 12 essays in this volume are a tribute to the major contribution which he has made to these subjects.' Civil Justice Quarterly
