Last Updated Date:   30 September 2023


4 Units,  Semester 2

Course Description:
International commercial litigation involves various substantive, procedural and conflict-of-laws issues. This course aims to present a full picture of how those disputes are resolved in the civil law jurisdictions in Europe and Asia Pacific region.

The courts first decide on the jurisdictional issues and determine the appliable law before proceeding to the merit of the case. Then the courts assess the parties’ contractual claims and defences under the applicable law to the contract. This course will tackle these issues arising from distinct types of international commercial contracts. Extensive case law of European and Asian civil law countries will be examined.
