It makes for a comprehensive survey of confidentiality in all areas of professional engagement...The use of such a book is obvious and it achieves its aim admirably...The language of the book is crisp and concise. The introduction section on the justification and limits of use of personal confidential information are carefully considered and highly rewarding...The book as a whole is well researched and footnoted, and a very wide range of subject matter is systematically presented and cross-referenced...Helpfully for such a fast developing area of law, the book is accompanied by a web update from the author's University website. Overall, it is a highly useful book for all manner of professionals and a welcome addition to the bookshelf of any lawyer advising or representing them. Jeremy Hyam (1 Crown Office Row), New Law Journal ... an excellent legal resource that succinctly and comprehensively explains the English law on confidentiality and information privacy.

Bio-Science Law Review Rosemary Pattenden has finally carried out the huge task of writing, researching and publishing a legal analysis with sufficient scope to enable readers to address the special issues raised by biotech research and commercialisation.
