Review Quotes
"To Paul Beaumont and Jayne Holliday, skillful editors of the volume, we owe, first of all, the approach of the work, which places side by side the treatment of a number of "general part" and horizontal issues with respect to the different areas of disputes characterized by elements of internationality... The result is a precise and accurate plan of action both at the "legislative" level and at the level of scientific reflection and the development of a practice, including jurisprudential practice, increasingly aligned with regulatory developments and the concrete needs of personal and economic relations of a transnational nature, so that the volume, published in 2022, goes far beyond its initial intentions, already representing an indispensable reference point in the essential bibliography of our subject." --Francesca C. Villata, Rivista di diritto internazionale privato e processuale
