The Law Relating to International Commercial Disputes

Devoted to commercial disputes, this text describes the framework for the resolution of disputes and helps the reader ask three basic questions: can the dispute be resolved in England?; what law is applicable?; and will a foreign judgment be recognized? - as well as other related problems. It covers aspects of the law that are relevant for commercial situations - such as arbitration law, provisional measures, and international legal personality, and includes those areas of private international law which are relevant to mainstream commercial practice. This second edition takes in recent developments, including the Arbitration Act 1996 and Part III of the Private International Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1995. Other features for this edition include an expanded section on choice of law in restitution.
