This fully-cited, 148-page publication considers 12 jurisdictions and governing laws that are high priorities for parties contracting across borders in the Asia Pacific, and focuses on:
1. Practical operation of liquidated damages clauses in contracts in select common law jurisdictions, including restrictions placed on such clauses, defenses to claims under such clauses, treatment of claims under such clauses in the event of insolvency of the obligor, etc.
2. Whether the common law concept of liquidated damages exists in select civil law and hybrid jurisdictions, and if this concept does not exist, where are the analogous remedies available in those jurisdictions, and how those remedies differ from liquidated damages in the common law context.
Managing Partner Dang The Duc, and Junior Associate Ngo Dang Loc authored the chapter for Vietnam in the publication.
