International Commercial Litigation (2nd ed)

The Second Edition of International Commercial Litigation by Professor Richard Fentiman has been published by Oxford University Press.

International Commercial Litigation is a comprehensive account of the legal and practical issues arising from international commercial disputes in the English courts, with an emphasis on the legal and commercial risks associated with such disputes.

The first edition was described as 'highly original and pioneering' (Philip Wood QC), and 'an indispensable companion to practice and study in this field' (Professor Campbell McLachlan QC).

The new, enlarged and substantially revised, edition provides:

• In-depth coverage of recent legislation and case law;
• Enhanced treatment of anti-suit injunctions, freezing injunctions, and jurisdiction agreements;
• Extensive discussion of Regulation 1215/2012 (the recast Brussels Regulation on jurisdiction and judgments), and the 2005 Hague Convention on choice of court agreements;
• Analysis of issues of current concern, including the effectiveness of asymmetric jurisdiction agreements, the role of anti-suit injunctions in arbitration (especially within the EU), the scope of injunctions ancillary to foreign proceedings, the treatment of claims involving third parties, and the effect on high-value commercial disputes of new approaches to case-management and costs.

Professor Fentiman teaches the Faculty's LLM course on International Commercial Litigation.
