註釋"This course of Lawrence Collins, Lord Justice of Appeal, concerns the political or public law claims made by States in foreign courts and begins with mentioning two claims about 150 years apart, involving two colourful characters, Louis Kossuth of Hungary and President Obiang of Equatorial Guinea. After presenting an historic overview of the facts concerning on the one hand the relations between Louis Kossuth and the Emperor of Austria, and on the other hand, President Obiang of Equatorial Guinea, who allegedly was the object of an attempted coup d'état, in the next two chapters the author investigates in detail the claims concerning "The Emperor of Austria v. Day and Kossuth", and, concerning the case or Equatorial Guinea, "Equatorial Guinea v. Bank of Scotland International and Ors (Guernsey)" and "Mbasogo v. Logo Ltd". The author then discusses claims based on private law, such as those brought by Iran against the Shah, by Haiti against Baby Doc Duvalier, and by the Philippines against Mr. and Mrs. Marcos to recover misappropriated property, and the claim of the British Government against the publishers of Spycatcher, the book written by a former member of the British security services. Lastly the author tackles the question of claims based on types of public law, in particular concerning the enforcement of Securities Laws and Environmental Laws"--Publisher's description.
