Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>A new edition of the only major text solely dedicated to the subject of the conflict of laws within the UK. It provides, in a single volume, the rules applying to the intra-UK resolution of questions of allocation of jurisdiction, choice of law, and the recognition and enforcement of judgments. Procedural matters (including proof of the law of other parts of the UK), and the availability of a public policy objection intra-nationally within the UK, are also discussed. It captures the interplay between the conflict of laws and the UK’s atypical constitutional structure, both historically and in the present day. Alternative responses to dealing with intra-national conflicts (other than through private international law rules) are considered, such as the passing of national legislation to remove the underlying conflict or to remove the issue from the sphere of private international law, and the use of constitutional principles to replace or modify private international law rules. This is enhanced by a comparative analysis of the Canadian and Australian response to conflicts arising between provinces or states. It takes account of relevant international developments and internal constitutional changes since the first edition which impact on the resolution of intra-UK disputes, as well as new legislation, case law and scholarship.</jats:p>
