Park and Cromie: International Commercial Litigation focuses on national commercial litigation in its international context. England and Wales, USA, France, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Australia and Canada are all covered, with the book being structured in such a way that the procedural and substantive law of each country is covered in equal depth. A team of international contributors analyses the factors which must be taken into consideration in choosing the forum and how to proceed after that choice has been made.
The conduct of simultaneous proceedings in the various countries and how decisions may be enforced in the light of relevant bilateral and multilateral conventions (in particular the Brussels, Lugano and Hague Conventions) are also covered.
