Document Summary

Auctions in domestic court: suing and being sued. The choice is unlikely to be respected and enforced by a court if a legal system is expressly chosen for the purpose of evading the provisions of the legal system with which the transaction is most closely connected to. Law only applies to terms in contract and it does not affect the parties to continue obliging the laws of any jurisdiction in which they carry business. Judges in most common law country have no obligation to ascertain foreign law. In the event, where a contract must be governed by the foreign law, it must be proved by an expert witness or similar admissible evidence. The law of the jurisdiction will be used if a party wishing to benefit from foreign law fails to plead or bring evidence. If parties haven"t made a choice of law, the proper law of contract must be determined.
