University of Westminster and Franco-British Lawyers Society are proud to host the conference: Contract Law as an Instrument of Legal Predictability and Economic Attractiveness: A Franco-British Perspective.
At a time of healthy competition between legal systems, to what extent can contract law be used as an instrument of legal predictability and economic attractiveness for parties involved in cross-border trade? Do the choice of law and the choice of jurisdiction matter for them in their commercial endeavours, particularly as private ordering of commercial and legal affairs gains in prominence in the current market?
This conference will explore (1) the challenges and opportunities for legal predictability in contractual interpretation with senior judges from different legal traditions, and (2) the considerations in the choice of law through the prism of legal practitioners.
A drinks reception will follow afterwards in the same building.
