Dear Colleagues:

Congratulations go out to ODG member Andrew Dickinson who new book The Rome II Regulation: The Law Applicable to Non-Contractual Obligations will be available from December 18 onwards (just in time for Holiday gift-giving).

 
This is the short description of the book from the website (http://www.oup.com/uk/catalogue/?ci=9780199289684):

Regulation (EC) No 864/2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (the so-called "Rome II Regulation") is the product of almost 40-years work by the institutions and Member States of the European Community. From 11th January 2009, it will introduce an entirely new set of rules for determining the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (including tort/delict, unjust enrichment and some equitable obligations). This work, written by an experienced practitioner, provides a user-friendly article-by-article commentary to assist practising lawyers in understanding the structure and practical application of the Regulation. The book also considers the background to, and treaty base, of the Regulation and its relationship to other EC instruments creating or affecting rules of private international law.

Andrew has informed me that a 20% discount is available to list members for those who purchase pre-publication (reducing the price from £145 to £116); the code to enter is ALCWDICK08.

 Happy Reading,
