EU law in this area has influenced national law to a great extent, making this an essential area of study and of increasing importance to lawyers throughout the EU. This book provides a summary of the key elements and issues of PIL, as well as the statutes and Conventions (e.g. Brussels, Lugano) and EU Regulations applying throughout the UK. The book will also appeal to lawyers as a summary of PIL in UK jurisdictions. The aspects most specific to Scotland cover how jurisdiction is allocated in cases having both Scottish and other UK characteristics and how judgments issued in one UK jurisdiction can be recognised and enforced in another.
