‘This work is a formidable review of the core jurisdictional rules for commercial litigation in the EU. Complemented with key national implementation (and acutely observed uncertainties), this volume offers both a clear overview for those new to the field, and much detail for those diving deeper. It is a remarkable achievement by its reputable authors.’
