This is the first and only publication to provide comprehensive coverage of
national laws on conflict of laws, now more commonly referred to as private
international law. It presents country-by-country national monographs dealing
with the statutes, regulations and case law each country applies to cases
involving transnational issues in, e.g., business, family or inheritance law.
It offers every lawyer dealing with questions of conflicts of laws much-needed
access to the conflict rules of other countries, presented clearly and
concisely by local experts. The looseleaf format allows the monographs to be
kept regularly up to date.
Beginning with a general introduction to the private international law of the
country concerned, each monograph goes on to discuss choice of law technique,
sources of private international law, the relevant connection with the law of
a country and the connecting factors, the rules of choice of law on natural
and legal persons, contractual and non-contractual obligations, movable and
immovable property, intangible property rights, company law, family law,
marriage, cohabitation, registered partnerships, property, maintenance, child
law, and succession law, including testamentary dispositions. Each national
monograph concludes with an overview of the country's relevant civil
procedure, examining lex fori and issues of national and international
jurisdiction, acceptability and enforcement of foreign judgements, and
international arbitration.
This subset of the International Encyclopaedia of Laws is an excellent guide
for lawyers, judges, legal counsel, notaries public, marriage registrars,
youth welfare officers, and local public authorities, as well as teachers,
students, and legal researchers.
