Recent developments include the entry into operation of revised versions of the Brussels I Regulation on civil jurisdiction and judgments and the Regulation on insolvency proceedings, as well as numerous decisions of the European Court and the English courts.
The new edition of this authoritative work takes account of recent developments at both EU and UK levels.
