Governing law means the system of law to be applied to determine a dispute under a contract with non-domestic elements, usually specified by a ''governing law clause'' in the contract.
For example, an enterprise with fewer than 10 employees.
 
 
In the absence of a governing law clause, the applicable system of law is determined by convention, regulation or general law.
