[Lecture Overview]

Regarding offshore wind power generation projects in Japan's general sea areas and ports, due to the fact that offshore wind power generation projects have been先行 (preceded) in areas like the North Sea coast, English law is often applied as the governing law, or even when Japanese law is the governing law, concepts from English law are incorporated into clauses. Therefore, understanding English law is considered indispensable.
