Reviews

`...issues are explained with laudable clarity by Ooi...It is impossible in this compressed account to do justice to the sophistication of Ooi's treatment of these questions. The book is remarkably successful at wrestling some prodigiously complex material into comprehensible shape, ranging with apparent ease between securities law, corporations law and conflicts of laws...She succeeds on all fronts, descriptive and analytical. This is a remarkable piece of work.' Martin Davies, Melbourne Journal of International Law `Ooi has provided a detailed and useful analysis of the conflict of law issues for both directly held and indirectly held securities...a valuable contribution to the debate...Ooi's analysis of the appropriate choice of law rules against the background of the Convention would no doubt assist in the consideration, implementation and interpretation of the Convention.' Asia Pacific Law Review
