Dear Nick

Many thanks for this. Can I offer one addition on the article front?

"Divergent legal systems in a single Member State" [1998] ZEuP 564-585

(an Anglo-Scottish comparison, the purpose of which is, to quote, "At
a time when there are proposals to unify the private law of the
different multilingual components of the European Union ... it may be
useful to consider how very different, after nearly three centuries of
political unification in an unquestionably single market, the laws of
Scotland and England continue to be.")

Was there not also a famous case note on Hedley Byrne?

Best wishes

Hector
