Incapacity In the absence of counter measures, the complexities which arise when a choice has to be made between the laws of different countries can give opportunities for the unscrupu- lous and the opportunistic. The Convention tries to close off certain possibilities of this kind. For instance two parties might enter into a contract in one country, choosing the law of a second country as the proper law. One of the parties, having the capacity to contract under the law of the first country, might invoke his incapacity to contract under the second country's law to avoid his con- tractual obligations. The Convention provides that a defence of this kind is not normally possible. Common Rules The Convention deals with these and other issues in language which is clear and concise. Whereas its ratification will not of itself remove the uncertainty which can exist where legal problems have an inter- national dimension, the fact that a clear set of rules will in the future be applied throughout the EC clearly represents a step forward. •
