Abstract
This essay assesses the extent to which some of the central questions of private international law (jurisdictional venue, applicable law) can be subjected to the re-distributive will of the parties, like any other subject matter of a contract, and the extent and reach of the remedies available as a consequence. It focuses principally on the decisions of the English courts and critically examines Adrian Briggs’ contribution to the development of the law in this area.
