Features: This book is part of the bilingual teaching materials series for law in the 21st century. It adopts the format of reproducing foreign original textbooks with Chinese introductions and annotations. The book Conflict of Laws, written by British scholar J.G. Collier, is a highly influential textbook in the UK. It presents a comprehensive overview of British conflict of laws to readers through its clear and logical structure, systematic and detailed content, and rich and vivid cases. It covers both codified law and common law, both domestic law and international law, as well as both conflict of laws and substantive law. The book not only elaborates on the general principles and rules of conflict of laws but also appropriately cites nearly 60 laws and regulations and over 1,000 cases, making the relatively complex field of conflict of laws come alive rather than remaining a dry statement of rules.
One of the key features of this book is its conciseness without sacrificing depth, and its rich yet appropriately detailed content. It includes both codified law and common law, both domestic law and international law, both conflict of laws and substantive law, as well as both theory and practice. It is suitable for beginners to grasp and understand the fundamental theories and systems of conflict of laws, as well as for those with a certain foundation to delve deeper into learning and research. The book not only explains the general principles and rules of conflict of laws but also appropriately cites nearly 60 laws and regulations and over 1,000 cases, some of which are summarized concisely with high-level, while others are elaborated in detail with moderate evaluation, making the complex field of conflict of laws vivid and dynamic rather than just a dry recitation of rules.
In summary, this book has high academic value and strong practicality, making it a valuable reference for students, legal practitioners, and legal researchers to understand and study the theory and practice of British conflict of laws.
