Conflict of Laws

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Conflict of law rules — also known as rules of private international law, according to the terminology of the civil law tradition — are rules of national origin that cope with an interjurisdictional problem. Conflict of law rules are triggered whenever a legal dispute involves parties, property or events that have a relevant connection with more than one legal system. As barriers to migration and trade between states fall, conflict of law questions increasingly plague courts and litigants.
