CONFLICT OF LAWS, THE

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 - family and personal matters involving people in foreign jurisdictions - notably marriage and divorce, financial support, child abduction - international fraud - property sited overseas - torts committed overseas or by foreign parties.
