Abstract :

Under the common law system, a Court will grant a stay if the proceeding out site of its jurisdiction would exclude the application of mandatory law and contravene the public policy of the forum. Courts have applied various doctrines in refusing or granting the enforcement of “choice of forum” agreements. This essay is aimed to discuss and analyze issues relating to the application of the mandatory forum law and public policy concern by Courts under the common law system as a reason to decline its jurisdiction where there is a choice of forum agreement. It is found that Courts tend to consider the need of consistency, predictability and certainty in deciding whether or not it has jurisdiction to hear the case.
