Reviews

Review for previous edition: The book is a must-read for judges. -- Professor Bob Wessels In summary, this is an invaluable reference text on how the Model Law has thus far been adopted. It serves as a useful aide-mémoire to the status of the text in the jurisdictions covered and is thus of great utility to a range of potential users. -- Paul Omar
