Transnational Litigation A Basic Primer

This work is a clear, easy-to-understand guide to the issues and decision points encountered when planning to resolve, or avoid, a transnational dispute. Each basic concept and all facets of litigation procedure and strategy are explored in the context of multi-jurisdictional interaction; that is, exposing the characteristics of one legal system which may, or may not, be available in the other. The analysis elucidates the choices available at the different stages of a transnational litigation. These choices appear in each and every phase of litigation, as well as during the planning process when dispute avoidance is the primary objective. The first half of this book is a practitioner's guide with ample descriptions of how to conduct litigation abroad. The second half is sub-divided into six appendices, and includes a table of cases and a topic index.
