Reviews

“This book is a highly practical and highly concentrated manual that should have a place in every lawyer’s library”

Prof. R.H. Christie Q.C. South African Law Journal on the first edition

“…the authors again bring their deep comparative knowledge of the subject, their gift for clear and comprehensive exposition, their probing critical judgment and their great practical expertise.”

Lord Bingham of Cornhill, former Lord Chief Justice, in the Foreword to the second edition

“Learned, informative, grounded in theory and practical experience…But this is no dry academic analysis…It is more than a source of information; it is a good read.”
Prof. Martin Partington, then Chair of Civil Justice Council’s ADR Committee, reviewing the 2nd Edition

“…the practice of ADR in this country has come out of the shadows into the full light of recognition as an important social institution. This….is also in no small degree due to the pioneering work of the authors in providing a systematic analysis of the many forms of ADR which are available….The authors are to be congratulated on another valuable contribution to this most important subject. Not only lawyers but anyone interested in making society function better will gain from reading the book.”

Lord Hoffmann of Chedworth in the Foreword to the third edition

“The comprehensive coverage of the subject in this substantial volume is founded on the authors’ deep knowledge and research on the use of ADR techniques in the UK and overseas. It should occupy a place on the bookshelf of everyone engaged in the business of dispute resolution.”
