Summary

"Intercontinental Co-operation Through Private International Law", dedicated to the memory of Peter E. Nygh (1933-2002), contains thirty original contributions authored by prominent private international law lawyers from all over the Globe. Their themes include, inter alia, private international law, international litigation, arbitration, uniform law and European legal integration. Their treatises and approach vary from thematic in-depth studies to studies of a comparative nature and on harmonization of laws. Born in Hamburg (Germany), raised in the Netherlands and in Australia where his academic career started, Peter Nygh (1933-2002) was one of the very few scholars with excellent knowledge of both the common law and civil law legal systems and a deep understanding of their differences and similarities. He was an indispensable member, promoter and scientific leader in the International Law Association and the Hague Conference on Private International Law. Most of the papers are based on supranational experiences and try to continue a comparative law-based analysis of problems so well applied by Peter Nygh.
