This updating supplement complements the main work, The Anti-Suit Injunction, and brings it up to date in what is a fast-moving field. In particular it takes account of the volume of case law on the anti-suit injunction since the book was published, including most significantly the decision of the European Court of Justice in The Front Comor, the recent important House of Lords decision in Masri v Consolidated Contractors (No 4), and other cases such as The Wadi Sudr, CMA CGM v Hyundai, and Deutsche v Highland Crusader.
The Anti-Suit Injunction is the first major treatise to focus on this complex area of private international law and this supplement includes all major substansive developments since the publication of the main work in October 2008.
`The book---which deserves to be widely read and its content well known---is a serious piece of work of a particular kind...[ it] is well written and is comfortable to read.' Adrian Briggs, University of Oxford, Lloyd's Maritime and Commercial Law Quarterly
`Mr Raphael's book provides a comprehensive but concise analysis of all the relevant principles and case law surrounding anti-suit injunctions....This book is the first major treatment of anti-suit injunctions and examines in detail those effects, and evaluates the case law as it has developed.' Yasmine Lahlou and Marina Matousekova, International Business Law Journal
`Using a very clear style, which is both elegant and accurate, Raphael offers an impressive synthetic analysis of the anti-suit injunction, an area of law characterised by many uncertainties....The Anti-Suit Injunction is however not (just) a practitioner's textbook. It entails incursions into more theoretical debates [ and] provides a rich analysis of, and represents a remarkable contribution to, the law of anti-suit injunctions. It is highly recommended.' Aude Fiorini, Scots Law Times
`Raphael provides very useful analysis of the anti-suit injunction....The text is clearly arranged, and contains a level of detail to which a short review such as this cannot do justice....Raphael's desire to fuse theory and practice should...be acknowledged as admirable.' Kirsty J. Hood, Edinburgh Law Review
Questions relating to anti-suit injunctions arise frequently in commercial practice, as commercial litigation is often disputed in several jurisdictions simultaneously. In these, circumstances, a party preferring to conduct its litigation in England would need to determine whether it might be possible and effective to obtain an anti-suit injunction to restrain the other party from conducting its proceeding in another jurisdiction.
