Private international law primarily deals with the following three main issues: international jurisdiction, i.e. which court has jurisdiction over a cross-border dispute?; applicable law, i.e. which law applies in a cross-border dispute?; recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, i.e. whether a foreign judgment can be recognized and enforced in another country? The Private International Law course will give an overview of different topics and typical practical problems in private international law – all geared towards solving legal problems in the real world of commercial cross border transactions.
