Introduction International Business law was created to:- regulate private life- consort legislation of different countries 2 main limits to parties’ freedom:- law of immediate applicability- prohibition to derogate from laws that interest public order Parties can chose the law applicable and are free to set up abroad … BUT… can’t escape from law of immediate applicability !
I. Definition, goal and application • Definition:« The law of immediate applicability is defined as the national law the observation of which is considered as crucial for protection of political, social or economic organisation of the State » • Goal of those laws:- They are pursuing a purpose of justifiable general interest- protect the States’ interests
