PIL.OTv0.62.2
Sanamoy Mustafoyeva analyses the parties’ freedom to choose the law applicable to international strategic alliance agreements and its limits under private international law. She presents the 2015 Hague Principles as establishing party autonomy as a basic rule in international commercial contracts, while stressing that the application of the chosen law is not absolute.
Mandatory rules, public policy, third-party rights and certain states’ private international law rules may limit the parties’ choice. The analysis compares the Hague Principles, the Rome I Regulation, the UNIDROIT Principles and the CISG.
The limits that mandatory rules and public policy place on the parties' freedom to choose the applicable law in international strategic alliance agreements.
For international strategic alliance agreements, the analysis distinguishes freedom to choose the applicable law from the limits that mandatory rules, public policy and third-party rights may impose on that choice.
