Private International Law (PRIL)


EXPLANATION

'Private international law' (PRIL) is mostly about 'venue', ie. where will the trial be held, which amounts to question of geographical jurisdiction. The principles that apply to the selection of geographical court 'venue' (aka 'forum') that applies to a case are generally common to both international and local (ie. national) law. That is, they apply regardless of whether you (or the court) are deciding whether to advance the case between the two competing options of Canada and Australia, or between Ontario or Manitoba -- or for that matter, between Ottawa and Sarnia.

Another significant aspect of PRIL is the 'choice of law' that applies to a case. Readers may be surprised to find that occasionally (as an example), Polish law may find itself argued in California - and any of the many permutations in between.
