Reviews

...more than simply a casebook as it integrates extracts from case law and legislation with extensive academic commentary...a timely, illuminating, comprehensive and hugely relevant study...[combines] encyclopaedic breadth with scholarly depth. The book is an excellent reference point for anyone practising or interested in non-discrimination law and a rich teaching and curriculum development resource...its integration of different legal regimes into a coherent and accessible narrative is a particularly helpful vantage-point. Anastasia Vakulenko European Law Review 2008

Anastasia Vakulenko European Law Review 2008 The casebook provides for diverse and fragmented but fascinating reading. That non-discrimination law is a difficult and evolving complex becomes perfectly clear. Connections between international, community and national legal developments are clarified...Perhaps the most significant insight provided by the casebook is the tension between Community law and national law, as revealed by the comparative analysis...this is an important and inspiring addition to the literature on non-discrimination.
