| | Private law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Private law is that part of a legal system which is part of the jus commune that involves relationships between individuals, such as the law of contracts or torts, as it is called in the common law, and the law of obligations as it is called in civilian legal systems. | | | That is, relationships between governments and individuals based on the law of contract or torts are governed by private law, and are not considered to be within the scope of public law. | | | It is to be distinguished from public law, which deals with relationships between natural and artificial persons (i.e., individuals, business entities, non-profit organizations) and the state including regulatory statutes, penal law and other law that effects the public order. |

| | Private international law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Each legal category has one or more choice of law rules to determine which of the competing laws should be applied to each issue. | | | Then, choice of law clauses may specify which laws the court or tribunal should apply to each aspect of the dispute. | | | Generally, when the court is to apply a foreign law, it must be proved by foreign law experts. |

| | Most of the principles of the common law of contracts are outlined in the Restatement Second of The Law of Contracts (http://www.ali.org/ali/contract.htm) published by the American Law Institute. | | | Private law principally includes the terms of the agreement between the parties who are exchanging promises. | | | The law provides remedies if a promise is breached or recognizes the performance of a promise as a duty. |

| | Maltese laws of Marriage and Private International Law |
| | For a common law marriage to be valid it suffices that there be the verbal consent of the parties and that the marriage be celebrated by an episcopally ordained priest or deacon. | | | If the law of the domicile of the party recognises divorce by "talak", and under that law a person so divorced can contract another marriage, such person should be considered as capable of contracting marriage in Malta. | | | "...it is indispensable to the validity of a marriage that the personal law of each party be satisfied as far as regards his/her capacity to contract it, whether absolute in respect of age, or relative in respect of the prohibited degree of consanguinity or affinity, i.e. |

| | TORT LAW AND PRIVATE ORDERING |
| | Tort law should play second fiddle to contract law because only parties are able to consummate their rights; this is not the role of the state. | | | This unfamiliar nexus of contract law and liberty is at the source of many of the most acute doctrinal disputes in contract law. | | | Tort law presents an aspect of corrective justice entirely lacking in criminal law: in the former the aggrieved party receives the penalty, while in the latter the state enforces its fiat. |

| | International law - Wex |
| | International Law is rooted in acceptance by the nation states which constitute the system. | | | A State of the United States is not a "state" under international law, since the Constitution does not vest it with a capacity to conduct foreign relations. | | | In this case a general principle may be invoked as a rule of international law because it is a general principle common to the major legal systems of the world and not inappropriate for international claims. |

| | Bruno Leoni explains the law in similar terms: " Individuals make the law insofar as they make successful claims." By this, he means that legal norms arise out of the sorts of claims that have a good probability of being satisfied in a given society. | | | The most sophisticated critique of polycentric law comes from William M. Landes and Richard A. Posner, who argue on economic grounds that private adjudication depends on state courts to back up its decisions; that it under-produces precedents; and that it creates a confusing hodgepodge of conflicting jurisdictions. | | | In recognition of the importance of private property, heavier penalties were also imposed for crimes occurring in or about the home, the most serious being hamesucken, i.e. |

| | Private Law, by Bob Murphy -- anti-state.com |
| | But in a stateless society there wouldn’t be a legislated body of laws, nor would there be government courts or police. | | | It would be the same way with private legal contracts. | | | First, I think everyone needs to scrap the idea of the mythical “law of the land.” There doesn’t need to be a single set of laws binding everyone. |

| | Regulated Private Law |
| | The payoff to laws from successfully colluding seems large, the possible harm to the rest of us seems very large, and the benefits of fully private law are not obviously large. | | | Even under fully private law, laws could look like governments, and collude into becoming them, if enough customers want that. | | | I have to agree with David that outlaw laws seem likely to lose customers without the need for much in the way of coordination among other laws. |
