His chosen topic is complex, but his study is wide-ranging, subtle, perceptive, and profound. The work must have taken decades of wide reading and deep thinking, and the result is now set out with great clarity, a scrupulous scholarly apparatus, and no little wit...Whittaker casts his net widely, thereby ensuring a much richer appreciation of the diversities in presuppositions, structure, approach, and results in the two national jurisdictions...Perhaps the finest chapter in this fine work is that on 'patterns of liability' (Chapter18) vol 10.1 Electronic Journal of Cmaparative Law, www.ejcl.org/101/review101-1 Author InformationSimon Whittaker is Fellow and Tutor in Law at St. John's College, and Reader in European Comparative Law at the University of Oxford.
