What legal principles apply when courts in different jurisdictions are simultaneously seised with the same dispute? This question - of international lis pendens - has long been controversial. But it has taken on new and urgent importance in our age. Globalization has driven an unprecedented rise in forum shopping between national courts and a proliferation of new international tribunals. Problems of litispendence have spawned nome of the mort dramatic litigation of modern times
from anti-suit injunction battles in commercial disputes, to the appeals of prisoners on death row to international human rights tribunals. The way we respond to this challenge has profound theoretical implications for the interaction of legal systems in today's pluralistic world. In this wide-ranging survey, McLachlan analyses the problems of parallel litigation - in private and public international Iaw and international arbitration. He argues that we need to develop a more sophisticated set of rules of conflict of litigation, guided hy a cosmopolitan conception of the rule of law.

Int'l Law) is Professor of Law at Victoria University of Wellington; a practising barrister (Bankside Chambers, Auckland & Essex Court Chambers, London); and arbitrator (ICSID, Washington).
