Book Review: EU Sustainability Law and Global Supply Chains

My review of Adolf Peter’s book on EU sus­tain­ab­il­ity law and sup­ply chains has been pub­lished in the Asi­an Inter­na­tion­al Arbit­ra­tion Journ­al. I think it is worth your time, so I repro­duce it here.

The Distribution Law of Singapore

Hear ye, hear ye! The fifth edi­tion of Hand­buch Ver­triebs­recht (Hand­book of Dis­tri­bu­tion Law), edited by Mar­tinek, Semler and Flohr, has been pub­lished. It’s a tome of 3,155 (plus LXXVII) pages that once again provides a sys­tem­at­ic and detailed present­a­tion of this area of law, both nation­ally (from a Ger­man per­spect­ive) and inter­na­tion­ally. One of the new addi­tions from my pen is a chapter on Singa­pore, which deals com­pre­hens­ively with its com­mer­cial agency, author­ised deal­er, fran­chise and com­pet­i­tion laws.

Wirtschafts­verwaltungs­recht Singapur, Anyone?

A law­yer shall not live by arbit­ra­tion alone (at least not this one). As much as I enjoy arbit­ra­tion, I also enjoy advising cli­ents in an area of law that has, over time, become a pro­fes­sion­al hobby­horse: eco­nom­ic admin­is­trat­ive law. This is the area of law that empowers or requires gov­ern­ment agen­cies to mon­it­or or inter­vene in the private sec­tor. The eco­nom­ic admin­is­trat­ive law of Singa­pore, in Ger­man: das Wirt­schafts­ver­wal­tungs­recht von Singapur. Repeat after me.
