This governing law clause, also known as a choice of law clause, is intended for use in a commercial contract such as the sale of goods or services that allows the contracting parties in an interprovincial or interterritorial transaction to choose the substantive law of the appropriate province or territory to apply to the contract. The contracting parties should review the governing law clause together with the submission to jurisdiction clause, as courts look to both provisions to determine whether to adjudicate the claim, and what law to apply. This Standard Clause has integrated drafting notes with important explanations and drafting and negotiating tips. For a sample civil law governing law provision for use in the Province of Quebec, see Standard Clause, General Contract Clauses: Governing Law (QC Civil Law).
