Also available as an e-bookPrivate international law is normally discussed in terms of rules applied in litigation involving parties from more than one State. Those samerules are fundamentally important, however, to those who plan crossborder commercial transactions with a desire to avoid having a disputearise — or at least to place a party in the best position possible if a dispute does arise. This makes rules regarding jurisdiction, applicable law,and the recognition and enforcement of judgments vitally important to contract negotiations.
