Features: Most of the cases in this book are famous judgments made by courts in the United Kingdom and the United States regarding private international law. In the field of private international law, the laws of the UK and the US are relatively developed and leading worldwide. This is because the UK was once the largest colonial power in the world. In Commonwealth countries, there is a tradition of appealing judgments from colonial high courts to the British Privy Council. At the same time, many cases unrelated to the UK are also brought before the UK High Court. In this way, UK courts have the opportunity to handle a large number of international cases and continuously accumulate experience, improve, and enrich the law in this field. Private international law is an extremely complex and vast theoretical system. Here, it is difficult to grasp the full picture of this field by simply reading the more than 40 cases included in this book. Therefore, after some cases in this book, longer "Suggestions and Discussions" are appended, which include introductions to the institutions, principles, doctrines, and rules related to the case, so that readers can gain both "points" and "breadth" of understanding.
