| 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.
| | Stamp Duty Land Tax. |
| | |
| | |
| In the absence of a governing law clause, the applicable system of law is determined by convention, regulation or general law.
