Published in association with JURIS PUBLISHING, Inc., New York Orders from outside Scandinavia, please contact www.jurispub.com Experienced practitioners in Europe realise the increasing commercial significance of the discipline known as Private International Law (Conflict of Laws). As indicated by this title, the focus of this book is on the Private International Law rules applied by courts and arbitral tribunals in the European Union, but by including numerous concrete examples, the authors emphasise the interdisciplinary nature of the subject and thus the many relevant 'connections' between private international law and substantive commercial law, especially as regards contractual and delictual matters (e.g.) in cases concerning contracts for the international sale of goods, cross-border claims relating to product liability, etc. Linda Silberman, Martin Lipton Professor of Law, New York University School of Law, says: "This wonderfully compact book is a 'must' for students and practitioners interested in private international law.
