Sommario/riassunto |
|
Giving an in-depth analysis of the doctrine of forum non conveniens as it has evolved, this book focuses on four major common law countries - UK, US, Canada, and Australia. It analyzes the similarities and differences of the doctrine among those four countries, comparing this to analogous laws found in civil law countries. |
