Private international law

Private international law, international private law, or conflict of laws is that branch of public law regulating all lawsuits involving a foreign law element where a difference in result will occur depending on which laws are applied. Firstly, it is concerned with determining whether the proposed forum has jurisdiction to adjudicate and is the appropriate venue for dealing with the dispute, and, secondly, with determining which of the competing state's laws are to be applied to resolve the dispute.
