A Conflict of Laws Companion
A Conflict of Laws Companion brings together a group of expert authors to write essays in honour of Professor Adrian Briggs QC, his contributions as a teacher in the study of law, and his work in the conflict of laws.
Agreements on Jurisdiction and Choice of Law
This book analyzes the law and practice relating to the classification, drafting, validity and enforcement of contracts relating to jurisdiction and choice of law. The focus is on English law, EU law and common law measures, but there is also some comparative material built in. The book will be useful in particular to practicing lawyers seeking to draft, interpret or enforce the types of contract discussed, but the in-depth discussion will also be valuable to academic lawyers specializing in private international law. Written by an academic who is also a practicing barrister, this book gives in-depth coverage of how the instruments and principles of private international law can be used for ...
The Conflict of Laws
Could you sue in England if you made a contract with someone overseas, or if you had an accident overseas? If you were to sue in England in one of these cases, which country's laws would be applied? Would you have anything to worry about if you were sued overseas but didn't intend to go back to the country concerned? Could you take steps in England to stop someone suing you overseas? The Conflict of Laws provides a complete yet accessible survey of English private international law. It examines the jurisdiction of English courts (and whether their judgments are enforced and recognized overseas) and the effect of foreign judgments. It looks at the principles of choice of law for cases with an...
A Conflict Of Laws Companion
A Conflict of Laws Companion brings together a group of expert authors to write essays in honour of Professor Adrian Briggs QC. Professor Briggs has been teaching in Oxford since 1980, and throughout that period, he has been an instrumental figure in shaping the conflict of laws in the UK and elsewhere and has inspired generations of students (future practitioners and judges) to take a close interest in the subject. His books, including Agreements on Jurisdiction and Choice of Law (OUP, 2008), The Conflict of Laws (4th edn, Clarendon, 2019), and Private International Law in English Courts (OUP, 2015), are among the most widely used and cited texts on the subject. The book is divided into fou...
Law’s Abnegation
Adrian Vermeule argues that the arc of law has bent steadily toward deference to the administrative state, which has greater democratic legitimacy and technical competence to confront issues such as climate change, terrorism, and biotechnology. The state did not shove lawyers and judges out of the way; they moved freely to the margins of power.
Dicey and Morris on the Conflict of Laws
This text aims to be an essential work for every practitioner who deals with private international law, including contracts made or performed in other jurisdictions or with foreign parties, property situated overseas, disputes relating to torts committed abroad or committed by foreign parties, and personal and family matters involving people in other jurisdictions. Important legislation covered includes the Private International Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1995 and the Arbitration Act 1996. It covers all recent developments in statute and case law, including rulings of the European Court of Justice. Chapters on jurisdiction, forum non conveniens arbitration, restitution and torts have been rewritten to take account of major changes in the law.
Judging Under Uncertainty
In this book, Adrian Vermeule shows that any approach to legal interpretation rests on institutional and empirical premises about the capacities of judges and the systemic effects of their rulings. He argues that legal interpretation is above all an exercise in decisionmaking under severe empirical uncertainty.
Lex Mercatoria
This collection of essays has been written in honour of Francis Reynolds upon his retirement, in recognition of his great service to the law during his distinguished career. They cover the areas in which Francis Reynolds has been most active – English commercial and maritime law in an international context. Topics covered include contract law, the law of agency, carriage of goods by sea, international sale of goods, bankers’ commercial credits and conflict of laws.
Private International Law in the English Courts
This book offers a restatement of European and English Private International Law as it applies in the English courts. Offering a new alternative to the traditionally approach of describing private international law as built on common law foundations, the author places European Regulations, and related statutory material, at the front and centre of the book, reorganising private international law according to the principles that the law is increasingly European anddecreasingly insular. The book provides a fresh start to the discipline for practitioners, with an approach to authority which is intended to be sufficient as well as manageable.
