Themes on Conflict of Laws takes its value and relevance in being the first of its kind in common Law Black Africa and particularly for being the work of a distinguished African scholar in the field of conflict of laws. As the author has himself observed recent British statutes have been so drafted as to provide for their spatial application and thus gradually replacing the existing out-dated and to a certain extent, inconvenient common law rules. These statutes are understandably not applicable in common law Africa even though a large proportion of the English textbooks on the subject are devoted to the discussion of such statutes. Consequently, the African students, lawyers and judges are left with either the older edition of the relevant works which are in any case out of print, or the later editions which contain very little that are relevant to the laws of their countries. It is this vacuum that this book has to a large extent, enviably filled in respect of the topics discussed. It's therefore an indispensable companion to students, lawyers and judges on the subject of conflict of laws.
