the law of the nationality is meaningless, the
judge throws himself back on the domicile of
origin & thus determined the rights of the
parties by the legal system which is neither
the national law nor the law of the domicile
as required by the private internal law. So the
judgment seems to be superfluous.
.

16. CASES: Horizontal private relations
• this is a private international law social
relation:
• Germany, through an public offer of contract,
buys to an American Comp y an 20.000 of
chairs as part of the Program of the

breach of the contract.

by different state internationally.

country, but Public Int. Law is same in
different countries.

18. • PIL is the domestic law of one country, on
the other hand Public Int. Law is in its very
nature universal.
• PIL does not give any solution, but Public Int.
Law gives solution.
