French to English Law/Patents Law (general)

Disputed succession case. The "effective nationality" of the deceased is arguable. In the quote below I have replaced the nationalities by two completely different nationalities, for confidentiality's sake (Algeria = A, Lebanon = B).

"...parce que le droit algérien qualifie une demande de cet ordre de délictuelle et que la règle de conflit algérienne en matière délictuelle renvoie à la loi libanaise."

In the real case it is not credible that country A in fact "defers" or "refers a case" systematically to the law of country B: these are two countries with no particular political or historical links, and which are not geographically close. In addition, country B is a very small country.

It would appear then that under the law of country A the nature, and features, of the offence are such that the case is "sent back" to be tried by the courts of the other country, whichever country it may be. How best to express this? It appears that the French is maybe not expressed that well, but I'm mainly looking for the best verb for "renvoyer" here.
