Just like neighbours have different ways of tending their gardens, States have different ways of creating laws regarding the activities within their borders. International Private Law concerns the relations between people, companies and other legal entities across their legal jurisdictions. If you have been involved in an accident abroad, bought faulty goods from another country or want to divorce someone based in another country, international private law decides where and how disputes will be settled. With today’s extremely global community, all our neighbourhood gardens appear to more interconnected than ever.
