This book is ideal for legal scholars and practitioners specialising in private international law and comparative law, particularly those interested in contract law's role in choice of law agreements.

Description

The Choice of Law Contract offers a contractual framework for the regulation of party autonomy in choice of law. The party autonomy rule is the cornerstone of any modern system of choice of law, embodying the freedom enjoyed by parties in a cross-border legal relationship to agree on the law applicable to it.

However, as this study shows, the rule has a major shortcoming because it fails to give due regard to the contractual function of the choice of law agreement. The study examines the existing law on choice of law agreements, with reference to the law of both common and civil law jurisdictions, as well as international instruments.

Moreover, it suggests a new coherent approach to party autonomy that integrates both the law of contract and choice of law. This important new study should be read with interest by private international law scholars.
