    Taking a fresh and modern approach to the subject, this fully revised and restructured textbook provides everything necessary to gain a good understanding of international commercial litigation. Adopting a comparative stance, it provides extensive coverage of US and Commonwealth law, in addition to the core areas of English and EU law. Extracts from key cases and legislative acts are designed to meet the practical requirements of litigators as well as explaining the ideas behind legal provisions. Significant updates include coverage of new case-law from the Court of Justice of the European Union. Of particular importance has been a set of judgments on jurisdiction in tort for pure financial loss, many of which have involved investment loss. New case law from the English courts, including the Supreme Court, and from the Supreme Court of the United States, is also covered.

    • Provides everything the student needs to know about international commercial litigation
    • Offers extensive EU coverage, but also includes thought-provoking international comparative perspectives, such as examining case-law from the Supreme Court of the United States, and Commonwealth law
    • Updated to reflect new case-law from the Court of Justice of the European Union
