Although it is often said that nowadays the central issue of conflicts law or private international law is to be found in the areas of jurisdiction or the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, rather than in the field of choice of law, in my opinion choice of law is still at its core. Choice of law, including the rationale of this area of conflicts law, is still to be considered as a separate and important subject that cannot be compared with the other areas in this field of law, because ultimately it depends on the contents of the judgments of our courts whether or not justice will be achieved between the parties. However, whether justice is achieved in a multistate case depends not only on the quality of the substantive law that has been applied, but also on the quality of the choice-of-law decision in such a case. I submit that these choice-of-law decisions are fundamental to the authority of states enforcing the law in multistate cases.
