On the Conflict of Laws, Dicey, Morris & Collins is widely regarded as the leading authority on private international law. It describes the rules, concepts, and practises that define how English and Welsh law interacts with other legal systems. Its commentary and pictures, as well as thorough case law references, guarantee that it remains an in-depth yet accessible study tool for transnational practitioners, whether litigious or not.

The 5th Supplement to the 15th Edition brings the main work up to date and addresses any changes that have occurred since its release.

Dicey, Morris & Collins on the Conflict of Laws: An Introduction is widely regarded as the leading authority on private international law.

  • Explains the rules, principles, and practise that determine how English and Welsh law interacts with other legal systems, beginning with general principles, procedure, state immunity, court jurisdiction, enforcement of foreign judgments, and international arbitration (in volume 1), before moving on to family law, property law and trusts, corporations and bankruptcy, contracts, torts, unjust enrichment and equitable claims, and foreign currency obligations (in volume 2).
  • The standards for determining a natural person's domicile and residency are discussed.
  • Examines the difference between substantive and procedural issues, as well as remedies and process, evidence, set-off and counterclaims, priority and damages, and statutes of limitation.
  • Covers a variety of important procedural concerns that occur in foreign litigation, including freezing injunctions, service of process, getting evidence abroad, and cost security.
  • Examines the methods for demonstrating foreign law.
  • Deals with the English courts' jurisdiction under the recast Brussels I Regulation, as well as common law and international agreements and legislation.
  • Foreign ambassadors and consuls, as well as members of international organisations, have jurisdictional immunity.
  • Explains how foreign decisions from both inside and outside the European Union are enforced and recognised in England.
  • The legislation regulating arbitration agreements and procedures, the enforcement of arbitral decisions, and the link between court and arbitral processes are all covered in this book.
  • Family law, property and trust law, companies, insolvency and bankruptcy law, and the law of liabilities including contract, tort, unjust enrichment, and foreign currency debts are among the topics covered.

Important developments considered in the 5th Supplement include:

  • An revised Preface titled "Brexit and the Conflict of Laws" that explains how Brexit would affect cross-border litigation.
  • The reformed Insolvency Regulation is discussed in depth.
  • All of the new European Court, Commercial Court, and appellate decisions on the subject of jurisdiction and execution of foreign judgements
  • Authorities responsible for enforcing arbitration agreements
  • Authorities in charge of enforcing foreign criminal laws, state immunity, and state acts
  • New judgements on the 1980 Hague Convention on International Child Abduction and on habitual residency are also significant.
  • New rulings on the application of the norms of choice of law to contractual and non-contractual duties, as well as property.

Dicey, Morris & Collins on the Conflict of Laws is authored and edited by a world-class team of academics and practitioners. Lord Collins of Mapesbury, who served on the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom until 2011 and is currently Professor of Law at University College London, and Professor Jonathan Harris QC (Hon.), Professor of International Commercial Law at King's College, London, are the General Editors.
