Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Commercial conflict of laws is a vital area of legal scholarship and practice. This course aims to explore the foundational principles of the subject from the perspective of common law jurisdictions. We will begin by examining how common law courts determine whether to assume jurisdiction in international commercial disputes. We will then consider the common law rules governing the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. Finally, we will analyse the choice‑of‑law rules that apply to cross‑border private disputes.
