Review Quotes

It is definitely recommended reading!" --Common Market Law Review, Vol 45 issue 4

"This book is a very incisive but also user-friendly commentary on, and analysis of, the Directive...This book spans the academic and practitioner markets. It does not flinch from the areas of uncertainty...and does not simply repeat the content of the Directive...It will interest consumer, contract, advertising, EU and commercial lawyers alike. Those lawyers without an EU background will not be at a disadvantage because the topic is clearly expressed. All readers with an interest in the Directive will find this work, ...of enormous practical use and intellectual stimulation." --International Company and Commercial Law Review, Vol 19, Issue 12
