Overview

This project examines developments in English law dealing with the complex issue that arises when the currency in which a litigant's claim is asserted differs from the currency of the forum in which the claim is litigated. The English developments are examined in a Canadian context, and recommendations are made aimed at achieving similar reforms here through legislation.

Keywords: foreign; money; liability; currency; exchange; rate; breach; payment; conflict of laws; Miliangos v. George Frank (Textile) Ltd; arbitration; date; pre-judgment; interest; inflation; conversion; contract; judgment; prejudgment
