Description
Book SynopsisThis volume is based closely on the lectures delivered by The Hon. Justice W. M. C. Gummow at Oxford University in 1999 as part of the Clarendon law lectures series, sponsored by Oxford University Press. These lectures take up themes of continuity and change in the law, particularly as they appear in the great common law jurisdictions.
Trade ReviewThe strength of Justice Gummow's work is its detailed and authoritive discussion concerning the various approaches used to develop and adapt the law. The table of cases and index are convenient additions to the text. Change and continuity: statute, equity, and federalism is thought-provoking reading and offers an informative perspective of the nature of law and doctrinal development. * International Trade and Business Law Annual *
What Gummow has to say is a useful and delicate balance of theory and legal analysis. * J.H.Bogart, The Law and Politics Book Review Vol.10 No.3, March 2000. *
