Connection
In international private law (IPR), connection is the term used to describe the connection between the facts and the legal consequences of a conflict of law rule .
In the fact of such a norm, the related object (the legal area usually covered by a system term) is included. After assigning the legal question of the legal case to be assessed with foreign contact through qualification , the connecting object is connected with the connecting point or moment (the reference point usually corresponding to the closest connection of a legal case to a legal system). By means of the connection point, the factual situation in turn refers to the applicable legal system as a legal consequence .
This legal system contains the substantive law that is decisive for the case , the so-called substantive law , provided there is no referral or referral back .
Connection in a conflict of law rule is the factual connection of the object of connection with the connection point to the legal consequence: the applicable legal system. Whether the norms of the legal system are finally applied is determined by the character of the conflict of law rule as a specific norm or a general reference .
