Reviews

The book makes an important contribution to the doctrine and principle of equity in international law. Reviewing the case law of international courts and tribunals, the author excels and succeeds in expounding the relevance of the principle of equity and of derived and related concepts in everyday international jurisprudence.
*Thomas Cottier, The Journal of World Investment & Trade*

The author has succeeded in exposing with great clarity and precision a highly technical and controversial legal topic and the book will definitively constitiute a relevant reference for both academics and practitioners
*Federica Cristani, Italian Yearbook of International Law*

Catharine Titi has done excellent work synthesizing an enormous amount of different legal sources, including treaties, case law, and legal scholarship, and convincingly proves the book's central thesis. As a result, it provides structure and clarity in a topic flexible and malleable by nature. It is a must-read for all those interested in the development of international law and the role that equity has had and will continue to have in it.
*Rodrigo Polanco, Arbitration International*

Studying this first-class systematic analysis by Catharine Titi of the key concept of equity, as a customary general principle of international law, is a must for all international adjudicators and an encouragement never to divorce the respect of hard-law provisions from justice in its application.
*Giorgio Sacerdoti, Emeritus Professor, International and European law, Bocconi University*

Catharine Titi's book is a highly original and welcome study of the role of equity in contemporary international law - a must-read for anyone interested in the role of law and the state and future of the search for justice in the world!
*Andreas R. Ziegler, Professor, University of Lausanne Law School*

In this important new study, Professor Titi has shone a searching spotlight on the equitable function of the international legal system, the significance of which has been much in need of contemporary re-evaluation.
*Campbell McLachlan QC, Professor, Victoria University of Wellington, Arthur Goodhart Visiting Professor of Legal Science, University of Cambridge 2021*

The author succeeds in keeping her audacious promise to explore the 'turbulent depths' spanned by equity, with a view to providing a new perspective. The good news is that the proposed new perspective corroborates the inner consistency of international law. The book offers authority galore and an enjoyable path through the cogs and wheels that move the international legal process.
*Attila M.Tanzi, Professor, University of Bologna, Associate Member, 3VB Chambers*

This book effectively emphasizes why it has become critical for contemporary international law to recognize the significance, role, and functions of equity ... This book is a valuable addition to the scholarly literature of international economic law because it serves as a reliable and practical guidebook for anyone interested in the critical subject of international dispute resolution.
*Julien Chaisse, City University of Hong Kong & President, Asia Pacific FDI Network, Journal of International Economic Law*
