Talk:Conflict of contract laws

message: what are the Implications of a contract within a contract
Unless I miss some sublety, there are no implications. If contractual documents are incorporated by reference into the main contract, they are all treated as a single agreement. But if each document is separate, albeit linked, say, because they deal with different aspects of the same transaction but with performance in different states, they will each be dealt with under their own proper laws.

message: I have removed the unsourced information and original research in the article, per WP:V. This could develop into a reasonable article, this will give a cleaner slate to work from. I have also changed the general references list into a further reading section.  // Timothy :: talk  07:43, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: You have engaged in malicious WP:VANDALISM consisting of the bad faith removal of properly referenced content. You know perfectly well that there is no way that treatises written by Morris or Anton, or published by Stevens or Green are not reliable. James500 (talk) 20:03, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with James500. This is an entirely egregious removal of well-sourced accurate material. Tooncool64 (talk) 20:12, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I have restored the passages that were at the beginning of their sections. The other two passages would probably not be very informative without the context they were in, and I do not have time to reference the entire preceding text of those sections right now. (Much of the uncited material was verifiable, but I do not have time to reference all of it right now). James500 (talk) 20:55, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

message: I have some significant concerns about the intro to this article.
# Standard policy on Wikipedia is to write an introduction like an introduction so that an intelligent layman could understand the issues (see WP:LEAD - "The lead serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important aspects... It should define the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is notable, and summarize the most important points, including any prominent controversies").  This just jumps to "what is the answer" like a 4 year old might blurt out.
# The article states a proposition of law like it is a fact for all 212 countries in the world.  That is highly questionable.  That may be the general rule in most common law systems.  It may even be a common law in civil legal systems.  But it is far from a law of universal application - particularly in states where the courts do not apply choice of law issues but simply decide everything under domestic legislation (like, for example, Yemen).
# The answer is not even really accurate for common law countries.  The essential validity is goverend by the proper law, but the formal validity is not.  Furthermore, various other matters relating to contracts are not regulated by the proper law (other than formal validity), including remedies (lex fori), capacity (see Banco de Bilbao v Sancha [1938] 2 KB 176), estoppel (lex fori - rule of evidence), limitation periods, and applicable filing requirements (varies).
Needs a pretty serious rewrite.  I'll try and do it if I have time, but I am not likely to be able to get to it anytime soon.
