Abstract

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the current state, specifics and perspectives of the codification of Israel’s private international law (PIL) - a mixed legal family state with a «hybrid» legal system, which is fully manifested in the nature of conflict-of-laws regulation of relations connected with foreign law and order. The regulatory framework of the study is the Israeli legislation of PIL and Israeli case law. Much attention is also paid to the analysis of the Israeli doctrine of PIL, whose representatives advocate the idea of adopting a comprehensive autonomous law on PIL and international civil procedure. The research methodology is based on the application of methods of comparative analysis and comparative law. The direct subject of the study is the sources of PIL of Israel and some of the institutions of the general part of PIL - renvoi, qualification of legal concepts, determination of the content of foreign law. These institutions of Israeli PIL are very slightly regulated by law, but they cause constant problems in judicial practice and attract the attention of the doctrine. The article concluded that Israel’s PIL was originally and still rooted in English common law and develops in line with this tradition, although the general process of «continentalization» of Israeli law also affects the relationship of the sphere of PIL.
