About the Author

Adrian Briggs, Professor of Private International Law, University of Oxford; Fellow of St Edmund Hall, and barrister at Blackstone Chambers.

Reviews

Private International Law in English Courts is an extraordinary piece of scholarship and required reading for anyone involved with English judicial processes. However, this text is much more than a summation of one country's approach to private international law. Instead, Professor Briggs has provided readers with a useful framework for analysis of private international law in any multijurisdictional legal system.
*S.I. Strong, American Journal of Comparative Law*

Brigg's book is an important contribution to the continuing development of private international law in England & Wales, and to the general development of European private international law. Most significantly, Briggs offers the common lawyer an excellent introductory guide to the methodology and reasoning informing the European Regulations that constitute a still contestable body of EU private international law, one in which evolution should be understood to prevail over existentialism.
