noun

反致

A situation in which a court, tasked with deciding which state's law should apply to a case, decides to apply the law of the forum, based on the determination that a court from another involved state would also apply the law of the forum.

Examples :

"Due to the renvoi, the American court applied American law to the contract dispute, understanding that a French court, if hearing the same case, would also ultimately apply American law. "

由于存在反致，美国法院对合同纠纷适用了美国法律，因为它明白，即使是法国法院审理此案，最终也会适用美国法律。
