Commercial Litigation in Anglophone Africa

Commercial Litigation in Anglophone Africa

By Anthony J Kennedy and Andew J Moran

Commercial Litigation in Anglophone Africa provides a comprehensive overview of private international law rules in 16 Anglophone jurisdictions, covering civil jurisdiction, enforcement of foreign judgments and interim remedies. The book discusses jurisdictional aspects in common law and Roman-Dutch law jurisdictions, including methods for assuming jurisdiction and challenges in legal systems based on service of process or attachment. It also examines circumstances for declining jurisdiction and mechanisms for enforcing or preventing the enforcement of foreign judgments. This resource would benefit legal professionals, businesses operating or planning to operate in Anglophone African jurisdictions, academics, ministries of justice, law students and businesses interested in African commerce development.
