P. M. Filippov and I. B. Ilovaysky address how cross-border contractual relations without an express choice of law should be characterised in Russian legal practice, and how that process affects the determination of the applicable law. They focus on the uncertainties that arise when such relations have a complex legal character.
How cross-border contractual obligations without an express choice of law should be qualified and how that qualification determines the applicable law.
The analysis explains, through a three-stage structure, how characterisation is linked to determining the applicable law where the parties have made no choice of law. Its proposal is directed towards clarifying the relevant Russian statutory provisions and Supreme Court guidance, without claiming that the current law has already changed.
