Flexibility in Conflict of Laws Multistate Tort Cases: The Way Forward in Australia

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › Research › peer-review

Abstract

This paper considers the acceptance by the High Court of Australia as the law of the place of the wrong as the relevant law to be applied to resolve multistate tort cases. It suggests the need for a flexible exception, as occurred in England, to deal with cases where the links between the parties and the place of the wrong is incidental or tenuous.
