Casebook On The Conflict Of Laws In Australia

Designed to be used in conjunction with Conflict of laws in Australia, by P.E. Nygh.

This is a fresh and incisive account of the principal elements that constitute conflict of laws in Australia.

The eighth edition of Nygh's Conflict of Laws in Australia provides an authoritative and comprehensive coverage of the three main areas of private international law: jurisdiction, choice of law, and recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards. The section on jurisdiction and procedure has been expanded to reflect the increased significance in practice of disputes in those areas. The text also covers the legislation and civil procedure rules of all Australian jurisdictions as well as important common law developments.

In her casebook Conflict of Laws, now in its second edition, internationally respected teacher and scholar Laura Little offers a progressive, innovative approach to teaching complex material. She brings to the subject her drafting and advocacy expertise as the Associate Reporter for the Restatement (Third) Conflict of Laws, authorized by the American Law Institute in 2014. In a subject where there is plenty of room for debate and analysis, this casebook offers a contemporary alternative to the subject by connecting coverage of key concepts to law practice using modern cases and problem pedagogy. With its modular design, clear writing, comprehensive Teacher’s Manual and online support, the text is highly teachable and has proven a road-tested favorite with both students and professors.
