Christian Twigg-Flesner was appointed as Professor of Commercial Law at the University of Hull in September 2010, having previously been a Reader and Senior Lecturer there, as well as a lecturer at Hull, Sheffield and Nottingham Trent Universities. He has written widely on aspects of consumer law (particularly consumer sales and EU consumer law), as well as European Contract Law. He is a member of the Acquis Group, and an editor for the Journal of Consumer Policy. He has given advice to House of Lords Select Committee Inquiries, as well as the Law Commission, on areas of his expertise.'The very appearance of a publication of this sort is indeed a coming-of-age moment for a discipline whose existence was hard to fathom until the 1980s. … Diligent readers will be rewarded by the richness of the resulting picture …' EUSA Review
'The authors have provided a critical introduction to the key areas of European private law. In choosing the topics, finding the authors and editing the chapters, Twigg-Flesner has performed a great and important work. The chapters are well chosen, clear and well written. It is also an excellent textbook for students.' Ole Lando, Common Market Law Review
'The Companion pays close attention to many of the subject's key dimensions - from the historical (Heirbaut and Storme) and comparative (Smit) to conflict of laws (Muir-Watt) and competence (Weatherill), through a treatment of the role of language (Dannemann, Ferreri and Graziadei) and Directives (Johnston and Unberath), followed by an account of the role of the ECJ (Stuyck) and of various types of harmonisation instruments (Beale on the Draft Common Frame of Reference; Schulte-Nölke on optional instruments).' Leone Niglia, European Law Review
