Critical Acclaim
‘In this Research Collection Professor Carruthers has drawn together an impressively varied and comprehensive range of articles on all aspects of the transfer of property in private international law. It will be invaluable to all those who teach, study, research or work in this area. As explained in the extremely clear and helpful introduction, the collection covers both general principles and also pays particular attention to different types of property and contracts. Topics such as the transfer of intangible property, conditional sales and transfers of security are of great and increasing commercial importance and are all thoroughly examined in the first volume. The second volume which focuses on cultural property is also a very welcome and useful compilation of the research in this interesting and important field.’
