Description
This book is the first volume of a series designed to discuss problems of transnational civil procedure. This first volume on current topics of international litigation is the result of an international symposium in Nagoya, Japan. The contributions discuss problems of provisional measures, international class actions, taking evidence abroad, and preclusive effects of foreign judgments. This first symposium in Nagoya, Japan, is a part of the international research project "Establishing a New Framework for Realizing Effective Transnational Business Litigation" which is sponsored by the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science and organized by the University of Nagoya, Japan, in cooperation with the University of Freiburg, Germany. The contributions of this volume analyze the laws of England, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Finland, Japan and the United States in areas of special significance for international business litigation. Each chapter of the book contains not only the papers but also the discussions and comments of distinguished participants of the symposium from all over the world.
