Private International Law - Navigating Cross-Border Disputes (CPD 1.5 hr)
Presented by Jack Wass and chaired by Mike Lennard, this 1.5 hour webinar explores how New Zealand courts deal with disputes that have a cross-border dimension (private international law or conflict of laws).
The webinar will provide an overview of the issues that arise where a civil dispute involves multiple countries, and will use a hypothetical case study and recent case law to discuss:
- Jurisdiction – what court will a dispute be heard in?
- What law will apply, and how does the court deal with domestic statutes in a cross-border context?
- When will foreign judgments be enforceable in New Zealand?
