| Research Abstract |
considering that the present rules of private international law in Japan cannot deal with modern and complex transnational legal problem properly, this Study group investigated the new rules, especially on contractual and nono-contractual obligations which are very important in international trade. Our conclusions are as follows : With regard to the contractual obligations, the scope of party automony should be calarified ; In the absence of choice of law by the parties, "characteristic performance test" should be adopted in the definite forms : Mandatory rules of the country which has the most significant interest in the protection of weaker parties shold be applied in certain types of contracts ; Torts should be divided into some categories and governing law should be selected in each category ; Law applicable to agencey, assignment of claims, set-off, Actio Oblique and Actio Pauliana should be spelled out.
