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 AnnualWhat 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.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)…Justice Gummow gives us plenty of food for thought.‘Roger Brownsword Law Quaterly Review October 2000`“…there is a great deal of subject matter and thought in this small, yet panoramic, treatise.”‘Prof P H Lane The Australian Law Journal November 2000
