Course Description:
The conflict of laws regulates international disputes before Singapore’s courts. This course focuses on two of its three central pillars – international jurisdiction and foreign judgments – which allocates disputes and decision-making authority between domestic courts. It will touch on the existence and exercise of jurisdiction, the interpretation and enforcement of jurisdiction clauses, sovereign immunity and non-justiciability, Mareva and anti-suit injunctions, and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. Along with its sister course (Principles of Conflict of Laws), it aims to give students an in-depth understanding of conflicts theory and practice.
