Terms definitions

1. ↑ Private international law ( Private International Law ) Private international law is a legal field that deals with legal conflicts between different jurisdictions. Originating in the 19th century, it resolves issues involving international legal relations by determining which national law applies. Key concepts include connecting factors, nationality and the legal status of foreigners. The discipline aims to recognise legal acts from other countries, prevent legal injustices and guarantee predictability in cross-border situations. Unlike public international law, it is fundamentally a national legal framework that manages conflicts between different legal systems. Connecting factors such as domicile, nationality and location of property help determine the applicable laws. Critical considerations include respecting national sovereignty, public order and avoiding legal fraud. The field covers diverse scenarios involving international elements, providing mechanisms to harmonise legal interactions between different legal orders and jurisdictions.

2. ↑ Procedural law ( Procedural Law ) Procedural law covers jurisdiction, a state function that resolves legal disputes through a structured process. It operates when the parties request intervention, with the state acting as a substitute in legal matters. Jurisdiction is exercised through jurisdiction, determined by objective, functional and territorial criteria. The system guarantees a double degree of review, allowing judicial decisions to be scrutinised on appeal. The action is the legal mechanism that enables individuals to invoke judicial protection, subject to the conditions of legitimacy of the parties, procedural interest and legal possibility. The process itself is a complex legal entity that involves a relationship between the state, the judge and the parties, following a predetermined sequence of procedural acts. These acts are systematically recorded to preserve the legal memory and progress of the case.
