Críticas:

Review of the hardback: '... this is a stimulating ... resource.' European Tort Law

'The book is doubtless a very valuable tool for teaching comparative law ... it is obvious that great care has been taken in the selection of the cases and materials that are included in the book ... It gives the reader a fascinating insight into the origins of the common law and civil law, and has the capacity to inspire the reader to develop a life-long appreciation for, and interest in, comparative law ... this is the type of book that, in a ideal world, every single law student should be exposed to.' Commonwealth Law Bulletin
