Philippine Private International Law

Description

This book is the first authoritative reference on Philippine private international law in English.

It covers all facets of Philippine private international law and its inevitable intersection with family and succession issues, commercial matters, intellectual property, competition, cross-border insolvency, and environmental disputes.

This book goes beyond a systematic presentation of the traditional private international law issues on jurisdiction, applicable law, and enforcement mechanisms. Employing a problem-centred approach, the chapters also look into conflict of law questions arising in arbitration, and assess the Philippines' involvement in the harmonisation of private international law globally and regionally within ASEAN.

With the Philippine legal system uniquely blending common and civil law traditions, the book presents Philippine private international law through the perspectives and analytical techniques characteristic of both traditions. In doing so, the book provides readers worldwide with a more profound and comprehensive understanding of private international law in the Philippines.
