Private International Law (PRIL)


NOTE

The principles that apply to the selection of geographical court 'venue' (aka 'forum') that applies to a case are 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.
