The Conflict of Laws

Présentation par l'éditeur
The conflict of laws, or private international law as it is otherwise known, has undergone many changes in recent decades and this text fully reflects the changing emphases of this often complex subject. Much of the subject is now dominated by legislation, both domestic and European, rather than by case law. In practical terms, issues relating to jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments have taken centre stage and choice of law questions have become of less practical importance.

With an engaging and succinct writing style, the authors of The Conflict of Laws provide comprehensive analyses of the most important commercial topics including: civil jurisdiction; the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments; and choice of law relating to contractual and non-contractual obligations, as well as the most central topics in family law: marriage; matrimonial causes; and property law.
