Chapter 11 presents an alternative view of tortious claims arising out of the external exercise of British executive authority as claims that concern public acts of the UK. It looks at the wider context in which the UK exercises its executive authority externally, which means that public law must also play a role in deciding tortious claims arising out of the external exercise of British executive authority. It also talks about mapping out the relationship between different jurisdictions and rules that are engaged by tortious claims arising out of the external exercise of British executive authority that confirms the allocative conception of the function of foreign relations law.

It focuses on the private international law aspects of claims that lead to important insights.
