Abstract
This book reproduces the General Course of Lectures on Private International Law given by the author in 1990 at the Hague Academy of International Law. The opportunity has been taken to expand the lectures to take into account developments subsequent to their delivery, but without seeking to change the tenor of the original lectures. The essays, as the title indicates, focus on the development and reform of conflict issues in common law jurisdictions and steer clear of the US jurisdiction with its distinctive concepts. As anyone with the slightest interest in private international law will appreciate, these essays have been penned by one of the foremost authorities in the field. The essays range over much of the substantial topography of the subject, but it is likely that only chapters V and VI, dealing respectively with contract and tort, will be of particular interest to readers of this journal, although the discussion in chapter I of the increasingly slippery concept of ‘domicile’ may also attract interest.
