This comprehensive collection of essays delves into in-depth analyses of eighteen landmark cases in private international law,spanning from Penn v. Lord Baltimore in 1750 to Brownlie v. FS Cairo (Nile Plaza) LLC in 2021. The contributors, drawn from academia, practice, and the bench, offer expert insights into these cases. Case law has played a pivotal role in shaping the legal development of the English conflict of laws. Judge-made law not only provides a source of law but also serves as a testing ground for other legal sources, including legislation, international treaties, European regulations, and ideas developed by jurists such as Joseph Story and Albert Venn Dicey.

This book sheds new light on the past and future evolution of private international law by focusing on these landmark cases that have profoundly influenced our understanding of this subject. While the focus is primarily on the English common law, notable landmarks in Scotland, Australia, and Canada are also covered. The cases addressed in this collection encompass a wide range of issues, including disputes between commercial parties, matters related to marriage and domicile, and controversies arising from political, constitutional, and international affairs.

The landmark cases tackled in this collection address critical aspects of civil jurisdiction, governing law, foreign judgments, and public policy. The essays contextualize these cases within their historical backgrounds, explain their contemporary significance, and consider their potential future relevance. By examining these landmark cases, readers gain a deeper appreciation of the evolution and development of private international law, as well as its impact on various legal disciplines and societal aspects.
