International private law had become increasingly legislation based and subject to European and global regulation. It is essential for students to have ready access to the statutes and other core materials. This volume provides ready access to a wide-ranging selection of materials on those areas of private law in which a foreign element may arise. It includes UK and Scottish statutes and statutory instruments, EU materials and International Conventions. New material includes the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended by the 2020 Act, and the 2019 Hague Convention, and covers prospective amendments relating to jurisdiction and family law consequent to the UK’s exit from the EU. Amended provisions are reproduced in parallel with the current law.
