Choice of Law Doctrine

The Choice of Law Doctrine determines which jurisdiction's legal rules apply when a legal dispute involves parties from different places or pertains to laws from multiple regions. Its purpose is to identify the most appropriate legal system to resolve the matter fairly and predictably. Factors considered include the location of the parties, where the event occurred, or what the parties agreed upon. This helps courts decide which jurisdiction’s laws should govern the case, ensuring consistent and appropriate legal outcomes across different regions.
