Description
Book SynopsisThe public policy exception in private international law is designed to provide a national backstop in the application of foreign laws. This book provides detailed and practical comparative coverage of the use of public policy in the context of private international law across a number of important jurisdictions spanning three continents.
Trade Review‘There is nothing more national in private international law than the public policy exception and its application. This book contains a recent account of how far legal systems are prepared to apply foreign law and to disregard their domestic private law values. A valuable tool for academics and practitioners forged by excellent authors.’ -- Anatol Dutta, Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich, Germany
'The public policy exception, long the undertheorized underbelly of private international law, has been rehabilitated in theory, but little was still known, comparatively, about its practical application. No longer so. This book fills that gap admirably and facilitates a more comprehensive understanding of our discipline in theory and practice.' -- Ralf Michaels, Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law, Germany
