The rapid, recent increase in transnational commercial litigation has made it
even more necessary for lawyers to understand how claims are litigated in the
courts of other countries. Yet information on court procedure, the local legal
profession, and local judiciaries has not been readily available without
specialist advice from local lawyers. This advice raises costs and may result
in delays. This loose-leaf work provides an overview of commercial litigation
procedure and its judges and practitioners in the courts of the important
commercial countries throughout the world.
The basic work includes sections on:
Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bermuda, Brazil, Canada, China (PRC),
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, England and Wales, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy,
Japan, Jersey, Kazakhstan, Korea, Kuwait, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal,
Russian Federation, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
Taiwan, Thailand, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United States of America,
Uruguay, and Vietnam.
Subsequent updates will update current material and introduce several new
sections, including East European, Far Eastern, and South American
jurisdictions, and new material on limitation.
Each section gives a general account of the structure of the courts and their
jurisdictions, civil litigation procedures in each country concerned, the
local legal profession, local specialist areas and charges, and the local
judiciary. The section then traces in detail each country's procedural steps
for typical kinds of commercial litigation, such as claims for breach of sale
of goods contracts, claims for damages under charter parties, claims relating
to bank deposits, claims to enforce foreign judgements and arbitration awards,
admiralty claims, and claims for breach of copyright and trademarks. The
uniform subject matter of the different national sections permits ease of
same-claim comparisons between different jurisdictions.
