| Description | The article presents the case law of the British courts in the 1930s and 1940s, that dealt with the law applicable and, where appropriate, the forum. Specifically, cases in which the application of the Private International Law and its principles pointed to German (Nazi) law as the law applicable or referred the forum to Germany (the then Third Reich). The article presents a summary of these decisions through the eyes of the British courts and how they dealt with the issue. |
