The Law of Tracing

a book on the highly challenging area of the law of tracing is necessary and welcome…an intelligent work, peppered with relvant and helpful examples, serving to illustrate the doctrine of tracing from its historical roots to the modern day…The text is to be commended for its comparative approach…a useful addition to the practitioner’s shelves.`outstanding monography … it is a masterpiece which proves that traditional common law scholarship is not only alive and well, but moreover, is extremely useful to students, academics and practitioners … The book is much more than the exposition of jurisprudence pertaining to the subject matter. Rather, the author goes much beyond providing a detailed and accurate description of case law. The principal strength of the work is the critical and thoroughanalysis of case law against underlying general principles that this case law has purported but often failed to implement … The book is well researched and ably presented … this is an excellent book. Itis a first class piece of doctrinal scholarship … The book is of great use to the student, practitioner, and academic.‘Benjamin Geva, Banking and Finance Law Review 14.
