Private International Law.
Rattigan, Sir William Henry. Private International Law. London: Stevens & Sons, 1895. [Facsimile Reprint]. W.S. Hein, 1996. xv, 267 pp. Publisher's maroon cloth hardcover, with gilt lettered spine. As new, excellent condition. $35. * Sir William Henry Rattigan's influential late-Victorian treatise on the conflict of laws. Writing at the height of the British Empire, Rattigan provides a concise and systematic overview of jurisdictional theory, focusing on the "natural seat" of legal relationships and the enforcement of foreign judgments. This work is particularly noted for its practical application of international principles to global commerce, offering detailed analysis on the law of Domicil, the capacity to marry, and the rules governing Lex Loci Contractus. Rattigan's scholarship is anchored in landmark 19th-century precedents, such as Sirdar Gurdyal Singh v. The Rajah of Faridkote, which helped define modern territorial jurisdiction.
