Common use of APPLICATION OF FOREIGN LAW Clause in Contracts

APPLICATION OF FOREIGN LAW. If any obligation under the Opinion Documents is or is to be performed in a jurisdiction outside Belgium, it may not be enforceable in the Belgian courts to the extent that performance would be illegal or contrary to public policy under the laws of the other jurisdiction. Further, the Belgian courts may give effect to any overriding provisions of the law of the place of performance insofar as they render the performance unlawful, or otherwise take into account the law of the place of performance in relation to the manner of performance and the steps to be taken in the event of defective performance.
