Reviews

The adoption of the Brussels I (Regulation) Recast provides the opportunity for an in-depth analysis on the innovations contained therein. Therefore, this excellent book provides useful guidance on the interpretation and application of the rules. The book is written by seventeen distinguished scholars from all over Europe and it is divided into eighteen chapters covering the entire provisions of the Brussels I Recast ... his book will certainly have a long shelf-life and ought to make a positive impact on private international law.
*Chukwudi Paschal Ojiegbe, Edinburgh Law Review*

The Brussels I Regulation Recast is clearly and logically written and offers useful guidance to academics, practitioners, students, or indeed anyone wishing to understand the jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement regime of the Brussels I Recast.
*Chukwudi Paschal Ojegbe, Edinburgh Law Review*

Throughout, the text is commendable for its concision and clarity, and the editors should be congratulated that a project of this scale remains remarkably free from proofing errors.
*Bobby Lindsay, University of Glasgow*

Most parts of this book are extremely valuable since they offer expert views on recurring questionings as well as practical guidance for the application of the Regulation.
*Stephanie Francq, Louvain*

Overall, the impression is of a thorough and genuinely European survey. The text deserves to be an essential addition to the bookshelves of practitioners across Europe.
