Summary:
"This book presents a collection of leading common law cases in private international law ranging from the 18th to the 21st century. The cases traverse issues of jurisdiction, choice of law, and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. Questions of marital validity, domicile, foreign immovable property, and choice of law in contract are just some of the topics that this collection examines. The 'unusual factual situations' of some 18th- and 19th-century English cases also reveal compelling human interest stories and political controversies worthy of further exploration. Drawing on a diverse team of contributors, this edited collection showcases the research of conflicts scholars together with emerging scholars from the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and South Africa"-- Provided by the publisher.
