The Conflict of Laws (Clarendon Law Series) - Hardcover

This new addition to the Clarendon Law Series offers a much needed introduction to a complex subject. The Conflict of Laws addresses the jurisdiction of English Courts (and whether their judgments are enforced and recognised overseas) and the effect of foreign judgments in England (whether these are recognised and enforced here). It also looks at the principles of choice of law for cases with an international element which are adjudicated in English courts - in particular for: - contracts made or performed in other jurisdictions or with other parties - torts committed overseas or by foreign parties - international fraud - property sited overseas - family and personal matters involving adults (notably marriage, divorce, and financial support), and children (notably abduction) in different jurisdictions
