The Law

In deciding cases of private international law or conflict of laws, as it is widely known, judges of the Supreme Court in India generally consult the works of renowned English jurists like Dicey and Cheshire. This volume argues that our country should have its own system of resolving inter-territorial issues with cross-border implications. The author critically analyses cases covering areas such as the law of obligations, the law of persons, the law of property, foreign judgments, and foreign arbitral awards. The author provides his perspectives on the application of law in each case. The idea is to find out where the judges went wrong in deciding cases of private international law, so that corrective measures can be taken in future to resolve disputes involving complex, extra-territorial issues.

Legal Procedures

Marriage, a civil union between two persons, involves some legal procedures which determine the rights and liabilities of parties in such civil union. Conflict of marriage laws is the conflict of laws governing status and capacity to marry defined by personal laws of parties to the marriage. Rules of Conflict of Laws are set of procedural rules which determine A) which legal system will be applicable to a given dispute, & B) which Court will have jurisdiction to try the suit.In the words of Dicey and Morris, rules of Private International Law do not directly determine the rights and liabilities of persons, rather it determines the jurisdiction of Court and the choice of body of law i.e. whether by the domestic law or by any foreign law, the case will be decided. This paper, by adopting doctrinal approach, seeks to find the criteria for Indian court to exercise jurisdiction in cross border matrimonial suit. Further, it endeavors to find out the difference between term ‘domicile’ and ‘residence’.

Global World

This chapter documents the extreme stresses that cyberspace applies to state law by examining how private international law, or conflict of laws, has responded to the online global world. This highlights both the penetration of globalization into the ‘private’ sphere and the strongly ‘public’ or collective political nature of much of the ‘private’ ordering through national law. The chapter shows that the nation state is asserting itself against the very phenomenon—globalization (through cyberspace)—that threatens its existence, and does not shy away from accepting the fragmentation of this global cyberspace along traditional political boundaries as collateral damage to its own survival. Yet, the frequent appeal to international human rights normativity in recent conflicts jurisprudence suggests an awareness of the unsuitability and illegitimacy of nation state law for the global online world.

This chapter highlights Paraguayan perspectives on the Hague Principles. Paraguay does not have a law dealing comprehensively and organically with Private International Law. The Civil and Commercial Code of 1987 contains the basic regulation on conflict of laws, and other provisions on the field can be found scattered in several special laws dealing with specific matters. Paraguay adhered, as a Member State, to the Hague Conference on Private International Law via Law 2555 of 2005. It is the first country in the world to legislate on international contracts heavily influenced by the Hague Principles. The Paraguayan law on international contracts drawn upon the Hague Principles openly allows the application of non-State law, and the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT) Principles clearly qualify as such.
