Effects of the Autonomy of the Parties on Conflict of Laws Contracts

C OMMENT HAVING BEEN MADE regarding the several problems and solutions relating to the central core of this thesis,' it is proposed, in this section to discuss some of the cases bearing upon the matter of usury, and the more specialized problems to be found in the carrier and the insurance contracts.These cases will, at least partially, answer two questions, to-wit: (1) what law may the parties choose to govern their contract, and ( 2) what are the limitations on party autonomy in conflict-of-laws contracts?It should be noted at the outset, however, that concern will be limited to the point of formal or essential validity of the contract so made and will not reach into extraneous matters.
