The realities of a global marketplace and shrinking political borders mean that the application and reach of law are seldom confined to a province, a country or even a continent. The field of conflict of laws, also known as private international law, concerns the mechanisms for addressing cross-jurisdictional legal conflicts in regard to three major areas:
- Choice of law
- Choice of jurisdiction
- Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments
Newly and thoroughly revised, Halsbury's Conflict of Laws (2024 Reissue) analyzes and explains the broad range of conflict questions and rules impacting Canada's 14 jurisdictions, including issues such as:
- Jurisdiction of the courts
- Criteria for exercising jurisdiction
- Consent, including attornment, agreement and persons protected from waiver of access to their local courts
- Defendant's forum
- Class proceedings
- Real and substantial connection to forum
- Discretion in exercising jurisdiction, including forum non conveniens and anti-suit injunctions
- Limits on jurisdiction, including state, diplomatic, consular, procedural and jurisdictional immunity
- Procedure in cross-border matters
- Service outside the jurisdiction
- Security for costs
- Interim measures and injunctions
- Letters of request, including obtaining evidence and interprovincial subpoenas
- Recognition and enforcement of judgments in Canadian courts
- International conventions
- Foreign arbitral awards
- Excluding, ascertaining, pleading and proving foreign law and proving foreign documents
- Choice of law analysis
- Renvoi
- Contracts, torts and unjust enrichment
- Family law issues
- Marriage
- Divorce, annulment and dissolution
- Parentage and adoption
- Parenting and guardianship
- Mentally incapable adults
- Support orders
- Matrimonial property
- Property, including immovables, movables, trusts and estates
- Bankruptcy, insolvency, corporations and foreign currency obligations
