of perspectives: national, historical & comparative. In
particular it seeks to extend the techniques of legal comparison into
an area of law where hitherto they have been little used.
The jurisdictions most prominently featured are the mixed jurisdictions
of Scotland & South Africa, but there are frequent comparative
references, & special attention is given to the Netherlands as
the country which has most recently re-written its succession law.
The authors of the individual chapters are drawn from Scotland, South
Africa, Germany, Italy & the Netherlands. Among the topics
covered are freedom of testation, testamentary conditions &
public policy, forfeiture clauses & events, revocation of wills
by changed circumstances, revocation of mutual wills, fideicommissary
substitutions, & succession agreements. The volume opens with
an overview of the state of comparative law & with a
consideration of compulsory heirship in Roman law.

£75.00 Hbk
Part of the Oxford Private International Law Series, this volume is the

hold true? How do the constitutional arrangements within the UK affect
this? How does the Europeanization of private international law affect
the position within the UK?

intensely practical questions that a practitioner would need to examine
when faced with a case of conflict of laws within the UK.
