The Illicit Trade in Art and Antiquities International Recovery and Criminal and Civil Liability

Janet Ulph and Ian Smith have pulled together the different elements into a neat and extremely useful book. It works very well as a practitioner guide but includes a good academic context for the discussion.Richard Harwood QC, Thirty Nine Essex StreetThe text makes outstanding contributions to knowledge in several areas [and] nurtures the understanding of scholars, researchers, practitioners and students interested in legal developments in the premier art market in the UK. It also provides a solid basis for comparative law study of an eminently worthwhile subject.Christa RoodtEdinburgh Law ReviewVolume 17, 2013
