This text provides a comprehensive analysis of the conflict of laws as applicable in English law. It seeks to introduce the subject to students by examining preliminary topics, such as when the rules come into play, the need for application, classification and connecting factors. It includes coverage of the rules on jurisdiction, choice of law in relation to contract, tort, property and damages; and full commentary on the law of domicile, family law and recognition and enforcement of judgments. English rules on conflict laws have undergone a number of important changes since the first edition and are reflected here. Changes include an extra chapter on foreign currency as well as an extended section in the chapter on choice of law in tort, in order to incorporate the changes brought about by Parts I and III of the Private International Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1995.

A starting point for the study of the English Constitution and comparative constitutional law, The Law of the Constitution elucidates the guiding principles of the modern constitution of England: the legislative sovereignty of Parliament, the rule of law, and the binding force of unwritten conventions.

The fusion of law and equity in common law systems was a crucial moment in the development of the modern law. In this volume leading scholars assess the significance of the fusion of law and equity from comparative, doctrinal, historical and theoretical perspectives.
