Date: 10th – 23rd October, 2016
Venue: National Law University-Delhi, Sector 14, Dwarka, New Delhi
About GIAN:
The Government of India has approved a new program titled Global Initiative of Academic Networks (GIAN) in Higher Education aimed at tapping the talent pool of scientists and entrepreneurs, Internationally to encourage their engagement with the institutes of Higher Education in India so as to augment the country’s existing academic resources, accelerate the pace of quality reform, and elevate India’s scientific and technological capacity to global excellence.
Course Objectives:
The primary objectives of the course are as follows:
- To introduce participants to the legal aspects of cross-border business transactions.
- Familiarize participants with the International laws and conventions that govern this unique area of law;
- Gain an understanding of case law analysis, through the detailed discussion of judicial decisions from prominent legal systems of the world on Cross- Border Business Law and Practice.
- Enable participants to consider critically the effectiveness of the current legal context in achieving the desired policy objectives
- Every legal dispute is linked to a legal system. There is no such thing as an International law. International laws are laws devised by organisations and not a legal system or domestic government. They take on the force of law only when ratified by parliament and hence become part of domestic law.
- Importance of contract: The contract is the governing law of the parties; domestic law is only used to fill the gaps; only mandatory laws can overrule a contractual clause; what law then is applicable if the parties live in different countries?
