International Encyclopaedia of Laws
Private International Law
Editor: Prof. Bea Verschraegen E-mail: bea.verschraegen@univie.ac.at
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.
