Review:
I mean no disrespect to the impressively full skeletons in the present case, nor to the expert oral presentation on both sides. However in some ways I found the simplest and clearest exposition of the problem with which we are faced in Thomas Raphaels book The Anti-Suit Injunction Although that discussion merited a footnote in the skeletons, it might usefully have been given more prominence. It has not of course dispensed with the need for a journey through the authorities, but it has provided signposts to the general direction of travel and independent guidance along the way. (Carnwath LJ, in Deutsche v Highland)
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, Lloyds 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 injunctionThe 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)
