Preface
THESE nine articles or lectures on private international law were first
published over the last fifteen years in various parts of the world. They
deal with all three major aspects of the subject: the jurisdiction of the
courts, choice of law and the recognition of foreign judgments, but, mir-
roring my own interests and activities during that period, reform and
change is a theme which recurs throughout most of them.
All the pieces in this work, are with one exception, published in essen-
tially the same form as that in which they originally appeared. However,
account has been taken of developments in the intervening years by
means of an Introduction prefacing each piece. The paper entitled
' Choice in Choice of Law' is the most recent piece and it is published in a
substantially amended and expanded form from that which it took when
delivered as a lecture in March 1992, with the consequence that no addi-
tional Introduction seemed necessary.
