Opis

Forum shopping in international litigation and arbitration is the product of the differences which exist in the procedural and substantive laws of countries throughout the world participating in an ever-more globalized economy.This book provides an in-depth study of the conditions for, motivations behind and techniques of forum shopping as well as possible defences against it. It will be of interest to practitioners, judges and academics throughout the common law world, the European Union and the United States.

Recenzje

Although forum shopping is primarily of influence in commercial litigation, the contents of this book are relevant to trust litigation also. Any international trust litigator should read the chapter on Divergence in Choice of Law Rules and Practice.
