Private international law refers to the body of domestic legal rules developed within States to resolve legal issues containing a foreign element and the questions that arise as to which court has jurisdiction and which law applies. Since each domestic legal system has its own rules, giving rise to potential conflicts, the field of private international law is also known as "conflict of laws," especially in common-law jurisdictions. 3, record 1, English, - private%20international%20law

There is a conflict of laws when, in a case containing at least one legally relevant foreign element, two or more laws in force in different legal units conflict with respect to a single person, to a single act or fact, or to a single thing, and doubt arises as to which law ought to be applied to the exclusion of the others. The very purpose of the conflict of laws principles and rules is to avoid any inconsistency by enabling the court to resolve this doubt and to choose the applicable law. 2, record 2, English, - conflict%20of%20laws
