Doctoral theses published as monographs rarely make useful student texts but this book on remedies is an exception... this is a comprehensive book - or at least it is comprehensive in the area of private law - that...covers the common law, equitable and statutory remedies in an informative, clear and concise manner. Each remedy is analysed according to the same formula, namely under the headings of the form of the order, the nature of the remedy, the nature of the substantive right replicated, and enforcement. And within this formula the author often makes a number of very pertinent observations which more general textbooks on private law overlook Cambridge Law Journal Remedies Reclassified is a major contribution to the common law library. It is the first book length study devoted exclusively to the classification of private law remedies. It is clearly written and (as befits a book on classification) beautifully organised. More importantly, it develops and defends a classificatory scheme that succeeds to a significant degree in illuminating not just the law of remedies but the wider private law...The classificatory scheme developed in Remedies seems likely to provide the foundation for future debates in this area. Dr Zakrzewski's substantive arguments are important, the scheme he develops is at once broad in scope but relatively simple in structure, and the whole is presented clearly and succinctly...All readers will be inspired to think about private law in ways they had not done before and to ask questions they had not considered previously Law Quarterly Review
