The ninth edition of this useful and comprehensive textbook on the conflict of laws in Australia is a comprehensive update accounting for the recent authorities on the subject and important legislative changes, including Australia's ratification of the Hague Service Convention in late 2010, the enactment of the Trans-Tasman Proceedings Act 2010 (Cth) and the adoption of the Federal Court Rules 2011 (Cth). It is, as previously, divided into parts addressing, first, jurisdiction and procedure and choice of law generally; second, the applicable rules thematically, by area of law, including for example the law of obligations, family law, cross-border insolvency and arbitration; and, finally, the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments and awards in Australia.
