proper law of the contract

A simple forum selection clause covering both the proper law of the contract and the forum for resolving disputes might read:

Therefore, the Newfoundland Act did not apply as the proper law of the contract was England, and so the contract was upheld.

The proper law of the contract is the main system of law applied to decide the validity of most aspects to the contract including its formation, validity, interpretation, and performance.

Where the proper law of the contract is the law of the UK only by choice of the parties, the Act's restrictions on exclusion clauses do not apply to the contract.

Since the agreements were contracts made under domestic law, it would be necessary to establish that they were internationalised contracts with international law as the proper law of the contract for their violation to amount to an international wrong.

The Article also requires member states to enact measures to prevent working around the Directive by imposing artificially, as the proper law of the contract, the law of a non-member state, where the contract has a close connection with the territory of the member states of the community.
