"One of the first things international practitioners must consider is where to conduct legal proceedings. But the second thought must be whether a judgment or award, or a deed for that matter, is enforceable in the debtor's jurisdiction or the jurisdiction where there are assets. This first edition of Enforcement of Judgments, Awards and Deeds, provides the answer to such questions for a variety of jurisdictions. The New York Convention of 1958 is widely implemented, and therewith provides the basis for recognition of arbitral awards in many countries; where court judgments are concerned, the position is different. This book assists practitioners to make the right choice." -- (Cover)

The character of international law between scholarly reflection of foreign policy expediencies and recognising prescriptive rules binding on all concerned has long been a particular challenge to those active in the field. Law is not law if there is no procedure to both determine its contents and to show ways to enforce it. It is through its procedures that international law becomes real. Based on an overview of the varied procedures e.g. in both The Hague’s and the national courts and those found in international organisations a more consistent picture of international law emerges. This compendium for students and practitioners is accessible yet sophisticated in its approach.

Jurisdiction and arbitration clauses are two different mechanisms that help to ensure impartiality and predictability in international dispute resolution. Despite their benefits, these clauses can be inconvenient for parties that are forced to litigate before distant fora. Moreover, particular problems arise in the context of maritime transport documents. Based on a broad comparative approach, this study seeks to explain the existing rules within their legal context and to develop a coherent system for such clauses, which takes into account the underlying interests as well as economic theory. While offering detailed answers to most issues surrounding jurisdiction and arbitration clauses in maritime transport documents, the book confronts the fundamental question of the limits of freedom of contract in an international setting.
