Morris: The Conflict of Laws, 9th Edition

Morris: The Conflict of Laws, now in its ninth edition, is one of the most widely used books on the subject, covering all aspects of private international law. Its extent and depth of information are unrivalled.

• jurisdiction has been broadened, with new material on practical issues in international litigation included.
• a thorough examination of the Brussels I bis Regulation
• inclusion of an increasing number of decisions on the interpretation of the Rome Regulations on choice of law in contractual and non-contractual responsibilities
• material on the legal ramifications of same-sex marriage's implementation in England and elsewhere.
• a re-evaluation of marriage property and the financial implications of divorce
