Bristol University Press Property, Power and Politics: Why We Need to
Book SynopsisGlobalization is an extraordinary phenomenon affecting virtually everything in our lives. And it is imperative that we understand the operation of economic power in a globalized world if we are to address the most challenging issues our world is facing today, from climate change to world hunger and poverty. This revolutionary work rethinks globalization as a power system feeding from, and in competition with, the state system. Cutting across disciplines of law, politics and economics, it explores how multinational enterprises morphed into world political organisations with global reach and power, but without the corresponding responsibilities. In illuminating how the concentration of property rights within corporations has led to the rejection of democracy as an ineffective system of government and to the rise in inequality, Robé offers a clear pathway to a fairer and more sustainable power system.Table of ContentsGeneral Introduction; Part 1 ~ Property; Introduction to Part 1; The Meaning of Property; The Modern Constitutional Mode of Government; Sovereignty and Property; From Political Enterprise to the Modern State; The Mixing of Democracy and Despotism; Part 2 ~ Firms in the World Power System; Introduction to Part 2; Firms; The Features of Business Corporations; The Spreading of the Corporate System and Its Consequences; Coping with Firms; Towards a Sustainable World Power System.

Intersentia Ltd A Commitment to Private International Law: Essays
Book SynopsisHans van Loon has been at the forefront of private international law for well over a quarter of a century. Since joining the Hague Conference on Private International Law in 1978, he has presided over remarkable growth of the Organisation and significant changes to how it operates. He has been involved in the development of nine Hague Conventions, two of which are fast approaching 100 Contracting States, as well as the revision of the Statute of the Hague Conference. In his time as Secretary General, he has seen the Organisation's membership grow from 44 to 72 Members (with more than 60 non-Member States now party to at least one Hague Convention), which has turned the Hague Conference into a veritable world organisation. The continued relevance of the Hague Conference in the 21st century owes much to the commitment of Hans van Loon to private international law and his awareness of its role in a broader social context. This Liber Amicorum is a collection of contributions from friends and colleagues who have shared the negotiating table with Hans van Loon at various diplomatic sessions, collaborated with him on seminars and academic pursuits around the globe, and worked alongside him at the Permanent Bureau. Its pages are testament to a long and respected career, as well as to the meaningful relationships that Hans van Loon has developed along the way with academics, judges, practitioners and government officials from various legal backgrounds.Table of ContentsForeword - Adair Dyer Biography Hans van LOON Towards Global Harmonization of conflict-of-Laws Rules in the Area of Secured Financing: The Conflict-of-Laws Recommendations of the UncItraL Legislative Guide on Secured Transactions - Spyridon v.

Intersentia Ltd Judicial Law-Making in English and German Courts:
Book SynopsisHow far do contemporary English and German judges go when they interpret national legislation? Where are the limits of statutory interpretation when they venture outside the constraints of the text?Judicial Law-making in English and German Courts is concerned with the limits of judicial power in a legal system. It addresses the often neglected relationship between statutory interpretation and constitutional law. It traces the practical implications of constitutional principles by exploring the outer limits of what courts regard themselves as authorised to do in the area of statutory interpretation. The book critically analyses, reconstructs and compares judicial law-making in English and German courts from comparative, methodological and constitutional perspectives. It maps the differences and commonalities in both jurisdictions and then offers explanatory accounts for these differences and similarities based on constitutional, institutional, political, historical, cultural and international factors.It will be shown that a fundamental unity of statutory interpretation exists in English and German judicial practice in the sphere of rights-consistent and EU-conforming judicial law-making. The constitutional settings and legal cultures in Germany and the UK have converged in both areas of judicial law-making. However, that is not the case for judicial law-making under conventional canons of statutory interpretation, where significant differences in judicial approach to statutory interpretation remain.Judicial Law-making in English and German Courts is the first monograph in English that compares English and German legal methodology as applied in judicial practice, appealing to those interested in statutory interpretation, comparative law or legal methodology.Trade Review"The author provides [...] an in-depth analysis of the issues of codification of a general part of Private International Law" -- Gerhard Danneman, Judicial Law Making, 2021.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Intersentia Ltd European Law and National Private Law: Effect of
Book SynopsisTraditionally European law is important for public law. However, it is also increasingly important for private law, that is to say, the legal relationships between individuals.European Law and National Private Law addresses and analyses the various sources of European law in (hierarchical) order, namely the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the general principles of EU law, EU Directives and EU Regulations, as well as the influence of fundamental rights (both the ECHR and the EU Charter) on private law.The nature of each source of law and its significance for and influence on the general part of national private law is discussed. Particular attention is devoted to the review of national private law legislation in the light of European legislation that has direct effect, direct and indirect effect of European law on legal relationships between individuals, ex officio application of European law by the national courts, and interpretation issues arising as a result of the interaction between European law and national law. Further, comparisons are drawn between the different sources of law. The book then concludes with a detailed overview of European Directives that are of particular relevance for general private law.European Law and National Private Law provides a concise introduction to the influence of EU law and the ECHR on legal relationships between individuals - a must read for every lawyer.

Intersentia Ltd Punitive Damages in Private International Law:
Book SynopsisAlthough European scholars have called U.S. punitive damages an "(undesired) peculiarity of American law " and the "Trojan horse of the Americanisation of continental law", the European Union cannot close its eyes to this important feature of U.S. law. Despite being under constant scrutiny, punitive damages have a strong foothold on the other side of the ocean. Moreover, due to increased globalisation, transnational litigation is arguably on the rise. In cross-border law suits, it is inevitable that a jurisdiction will encounter legal institutions that are alien to the substantive law of the forumThis book examines the private international law treatment of American punitive damages in the European Union. It poses the crucial question whether U.S. punitive damages (should) penetrate the borders of the European Union through the backdoor of private international law. More specifically, three areas of private international law are analysed: service of process, applicable law and enforcement of judgments.In addition to describing the current positions in case law and scholarship, the book takes a normative perspective and attempts to formulate concrete guiding principles that can be used when the European legal order faces U.S. punitive damages. It, therefore, provides an invaluable resource for practitioners, judges and authorities confronted with this controversial remedy. Furthermore, as a nation's private international law attitude indicates the country's level of tolerance towards a foreign concept unknown in its own legal system, the book can form an essential building block for discussions amongst legislators surrounding the introduction of the remedy of punitive damages in substantive law.

Intersentia Ltd European Private International Law and Member
Book SynopsisSeveral Member States of the European Union have concluded treaties and conventions with Third States dealing with questions of succession law in cross-border matters. Some of these treaties originate from the beginning of the 20th century and are outdated. The European legislator, however, cannot supersede these treaties and conventions unilaterally with its regulations, in fact they enjoy priority over the European Succession Regulation. The harmonizing effect of European private international law is hence endangered, the more so, as these treaties and conventions often cover large groups of third State nationals in the respective Member State. This book analyzes the background, scope and practical impact of bilateral treaties and multilateral conventions concluded by selected Member States of the European Union with third States, both from the European and the third State perspective. It evaluates the impact of these treaties and conventions on the functioning of the European Succession Regulation and the possibilities to facilitate the interplay between these instruments and European private international law.Trade ReviewREVIEW I.: '...A truly pioneering work ... That is what successful European legal research with practical value looks like!' -- Peter Mankowski, ErbR, 2020.REVIEW II.: 'The relevance and the practical importance of the matter and the high quality of the book's contributions make it useful and captivating reading which offers much food for thought, as well as some important suggestions for improving the unsatisfactory current situation.' -- Alessandra Zanobetti Bologna, Common Market Law Review, 2021.REVIEW III.: 'This unique book covers an almost uncharted field, and allows a broader readership to get a complete picture of this underrated part of Regulation 650/2012. The high quality of the contributions makes the book an outstanding work in the field of comparative private international law. It will be a useful guide for academics and professionals, while at the same time it will stimulate and facilitate further comparative research.' -- Apostolos Anthimos, Armenopoulos, 2020.This quote has been translated from Greek.Table of ContentsIntroduction (p. 1) Questionnaire (p. 5) Part I.

Intersentia Ltd Rome I and Rome II in Practice
Book SynopsisThis book is devoted to the applicable law to contractual and non-contractual obligations in the European Union. The Rome I and II Regulations provide uniform conflict-of-laws rules in order to avoid undue forum-shopping. In theory, all national courts of EU Member States (excluding Denmark) apply the same rules determining the applicable law. Rome I and Rome II in Practice examines whether the theory has been put into practice and assesses the difficulties that may have arisen in the interpretation and application of these Regulations. Such a study appears invaluable as the Rome I and II Regulations may be seen as a critical stepping stone towards the construction of a true and far-reaching European Private International Law. Providing clear and detailed insights into the national case law of most EU Member States, as well as the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, and followed by a comparative analysis, this book is a valuable resource for practitioners, the judiciary and academics who are interested in understanding how EU law is applied on national and European levels.Table of ContentsIntroduction (p. 1) Questionnaire for the National Reports (p. 5) Court of Justice of the European Union (p. 11) Austria and Germany (p. 41) Belgium (p. 89) Bulgaria (p. 103) Croatia (p. 131) Cyprus (p. 153) Czech Republic (p. 171) France (p. 191) Greece (p. 223) Hungary (p. 249) Ireland (p. 267) Italy (p. 293) Latvia (p. 349) Lithuania (p. 387) Luxembourg (p. 399) The Netherlands (p. 417) Poland (p. 445) Portugal (p. 465) Slovakia (p. 485) Slovenia (p. 527) Spain (p. 551) United Kingdom (p. 579) Conclusion (p. 625)

Intersentia Ltd Cross-Border Enforcement in Europe: National and
Book SynopsisThe volume addresses the enforcement of judgments and other authentic instruments in a European cross-border context, as well as enforcement in a selection of national European jurisdictions. The volume is divided into two parts. Part I on 'Cross-border Enforcement in Europe' opens with a contribution comparing the European approach in Brussels I Recast with the US experience of enforcement in the context of judicial federalism. This is followed by two contributions concentrating on aspects of Brussels I Recast, specifically the abolition of exequatur and the grounds for refusal of foreign judgments (public order and conflicting decisions). The two concluding texts in this part deal with the cross-border enforcement of notarial deeds and the sister regulation of Brussels I Recast, Brussels II bis (jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in matrimonial matters and the matters of parental responsibility). Part II is devoted to aspects of (cross-border) enforcement in a selection of European states (Poland, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Slovenia and the Republic of North Macedonia). The topics discussed include the authorities entrusted with enforcement, judicial assistance and the national rules relevant from the perspective of Brussels I Recast. This book is important for practitioners involved in cross-border enforcement and academics working within an international comparative legal context.Table of ContentsIntroduction (p. 1) I.

Intersentia Ltd Brussels IIter
Book SynopsisThe recently recast Council Regulation No 2019/1111 (? Brussels II-ter? ), which came into force in August 2022, is the key EU family law Regulation. It governs jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement in matrimonial matters (principally divorce), matters of parental responsibility (principally, custody and access), and international child abduction.This book provides an in-depth discussion of this complex Regulation. Written by three renowned experts, this comprehensive analysis benefits from the collective scope of their experience and knowledge not only of their jurisdictions (Italy, Sweden and the UK) but also more generally of international family law and private international law. Brussels II-ter: Cross-border Marriage Dissolution, Parental Responsibility Disputes and Child Abduction in the EU provides not only a clear exposition of the Regulation? s provisions, but also supplies a critical evaluation of these, highlighting the undoubted improvements made by Brussels II-ter while simultaneously exploring its more problematic aspects. An exposition of the relationship between the EU and the UK following Brexit concludes this volume.

Intersentia Ltd Informed Choices in Cross-Border Enforcement
Book SynopsisHow to choose the most beneficial enforcement regime for cross-border claims of a client? A question considerably complicated by (1) the existence of various European Union enforcement tools and (2) particularities in the national legal systems that impact on the operation and suitability of the various enforcement tools. This book compares and analyses the practical utility and potential pitfalls of the 2nd generation regulations (European Enforcement Order, European Order for Payment, European Small Claims Procedure and European Account Preservation Order) and their relation to Brussels Ibis. Further, it analyses whether and to what extent all of the 2nd generation EU regulations prove their worth in the cross-border enforcement of claims, and which measures can be recommended for their practical improvement and for achieving greater consistency in European enforcement law. The work is based on an extensive evaluation of case law (more than 500 published and unpublished judgments), empirical data (150 interviews with practitioners) and literature from eight Member States (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Poland, Spain) and the Court of Justice of the European Union. It provides an extensive and up-to-date picture of the cross-border enforcement of claims across Europe and is an important resource for academics and practitioners alike.

It analyses the choice of court and choice of law provisions that has been developed within this framework over the past two decades. These rules are evaluated and compared in view of the underlying values and objectives in the EU context. Does the manifestation of these provisions meet the EUs objectives in adopting legislative action? If not, what factors prevent them from doing so? Are there any gaps that need to be addressed and how might these issues be tackled?

Intersentia Ltd The Interaction between Family Law, Succession
Book SynopsisThere can be no doubt that both substantive family and succession law engage in significant interaction with private international law, and, in particular, the European Union instruments in the field. While it is to be expected that substantive law heavily influences private international law instruments, it is increasingly evident that this influence can also be exerted in the reverse direction. Given that the European Union has no legislative competence in the fields of family and succession law beyond cross-border issues, this influence is indirect and, as a consequence of this indirect nature, difficult to trace.This book brings together a range of views on the reciprocal influences of substantive and private international law in the fields of family and succession law. It outlines some key elements of this interplay in selected jurisdictions and provides a basis for discussion and future work on the reciprocal influences of domestic and European law. It is essential that the choices for and within certain European instruments are made consciously and knowingly. This book therefore aims to raise awareness that these reciprocal influences exist, to stimulate academic debate and to facilitate a more open debate between European institutions and national stakeholders.Trade Review'The book aims to be a key tool for drafting or considering new private law instruments in succession and family laws. By offering concrete proposals on various matters [...] the book certainly fulfils its primary objective and is a recommended read for domestic and European law reformers.' -- Laure Sauv, International Journal of Law, Policy and The Family, 2021.Table of ContentsTable of Contents and Preliminary Pages (p. 0) The Interaction between Family Law, Succession Law and Private International Law: An Introduction (p. 1) PART I.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Private International Law, Art and Cultural
Book SynopsisThis timely book demonstrates how full account can be taken of the structure and method of private international law in its expanding relationship with cultural heritage law, identifying opportunities for keeping pace with the underpinning value judgments. Through a global lens, Roodt explores how value-rationality and mutuality can defeat the dogmatic underpinnings of conflicts and jurisdiction rules that frustrate the achievement of global solidarity in public policy decisions and the treatment of foreign public law.The satisfactory settlement of claims based on ownership and the restitution of art and cultural objects requires improvements in the approaches and methods of dispute resolution that prevail today. The author reveals hidden dimensions of private international law, which can help re-script these approaches and methods to better tailor them to the illicit trade in cultural objects, title laundering, the suppression of policy considerations and ethical concerns that support the restitution of Nazi spoliated art.International officials and policymakers will find this a unique and ethically comprehensive resource, addressing matters that impact the artistic, cultural and historical record and the safeguarding of cultural and heritage objects within the contemporary art market. Adjudicators, law enforcement officials and legal scholars will appreciate its fresh and inclusive treatment of issues including restitution, material heritage and provenance.Trade Review'This book provides the reader with a fresh perspective on cultural heritage law by focusing upon its relationship with principles of private international law. It discusses complex and important issues, such as the repatriation of Nazi spoliated art, in a manner which is engaging and commendably ambitious in scope.' --Janet Ulph, University of Leicester, UK'Dr Roodt offers a fresh exploration of the relationship between private international law and cultural heritage law, and provides an insightful account of the role that private international law can play in the protection of art and cultural objects. Private international law is an essential backdrop against which to consider restitution and spoliation claims, not only in terms of the determination of venue for dispute resolution, but also as regards the law to govern problems of ownership and compensation. This book is a welcome reassertion of the role of private international law in handling the morally and legally challenging problems which affect the international art and antiquities market.' --Janeen M. Carruthers, University of Glasgow'With its extensive footnoting and lists of cases from at least fourteen countries, this wide-ranging and detailed survey makes an important contribution to the growing body of literature and analysis surrounding this difficult and topical subject, as the bibliography of over 30 pages indicates. International lawyers as well as policy makers everywhere should consider this book an essential purchase.' --Phillip and Elizabeth Taylor, The Barrister MagazineTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Most aspects of private international law are now governed or at least affected by EU legislation, and there is a substantial and growing body of case-law from the European Court as well as the courts of the Member States. This timely Handbook addresses key questions and problems that currently exist in the rules of private international law laid down by European Union regulations.Bringing together perspectives from both civil law and common law traditions, the book mainly considers issues relating to the Brussels I Regulation on civil jurisdiction and judgments, and to the Rome I and II Regulations on choice of law in respect of contractual or non-contractual obligations. Weaknesses in the current law are identified, and suggestions are made for possible improvements. The expert contributors focus on currently relevant problems including some issues which have tended to be neglected.Academics, law students and public officials interested in private international law will find this Handbook to be a valuable resource. Both practising lawyers and commercial lobbyists will also find many useful insights. Contributors include: O. Bamodu, I. Carr, Y. Farah, G. Güneysu-Güngör, L. Heffernan, S. Hourani, D. Kenny, M. Koutsias, X.E. Kramer, P. Stone, E. Treppoz, A. Yilmaz-Vastardis, H.-L.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Transboundary Pollution: Evolving Issues of
Book SynopsisTransboundary Pollution: Evolving Issues of International Law and Policy provides a comprehensive and perceptive overview of the legal principles that govern pollution internationally and explores the utilization of these principles in practice.Legal principles regarding State responsibility for transboundary pollution are well settled in international law. At issue is how these principles are applied and what mechanisms are developed to regulate specific types of transboundary pollution, including pollution of the marine environment and shared water resources, nuclear pollution and air pollution.Expert contributors come together in this book to discuss all major aspects of transboundary pollution and the practical application of the State responsibility doctrine. Empirical studies of European, Asian and Southeast Asian countries demonstrate regional perspectives of how international law and policy governing transboundary pollution translates into practice.Academics, students and practitioners alike will benefit from the perceptive and discerning insight the book presents into this important issue within international law, environmental law and public policy.Contributors: R.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Judicial Cooperation in European Private Law
Book SynopsisNotwithstanding increases in the scope for interaction between European and national courts, little research has been undertaken into the potential impact of institutional cooperation and dialogue in European private law making. This coherent collection of original chapters provides unique insights into these developments - with a particular focus on consumer law, and changes in national civil procedure via substantive law enforcement - from a broad range of stakeholders, including academics and judges from the EU and the US. Dialogue of both a vertical (between national and European courts) and horizontal (between national courts) nature is visible in the growing number of preliminary references to the CJEU in European private law. Combined with activism on the part of national courts and the growing importance of regulators, this dialogue brings about new forms of development of European private law. This book offers a case-based analysis of these processes, highlighting the need to focus on the instruments of dialogue and cooperation, and pressing beyond the prevailing focus on constitutional dialogue to reveal a new perspective on the private law sphere. Judicial Cooperation in European Private Law will appeal to scholars, students, practising lawyers and judges interested in the creation and development of European private law at both national and EU levels.Contributors include: F. Cafaggi, A.C. Ciacchi, F. Gómez Pomar, M. Józon, S. Law, K. Lyczkowska, M. Safjan, A.J. Scirica, C. TimmermansTrade Review'In 2014, the European Commission proposal for an optional European sales law was withdrawn. Meanwhile, the discussion of a European private law has become very successful.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Research Handbook on EU Private International Law
Book SynopsisThe harmonization of private international law in Europe has advanced rapidly since the entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam. Most aspects of private international law are now governed or at least affected by EU legislation, and there is a substantial and growing body of case-law from the European Court as well as the courts of the Member States. This timely Handbook addresses key questions and problems that currently exist in the rules of private international law laid down by European Union regulations.Bringing together perspectives from both civil law and common law traditions, the book mainly considers issues relating to the Brussels I Regulation on civil jurisdiction and judgments, and to the Rome I and II Regulations on choice of law in respect of contractual or non-contractual obligations. Weaknesses in the current law are identified, and suggestions are made for possible improvements. The expert contributors focus on currently relevant problems including some issues which have tended to be neglected.Academics, law students and public officials interested in private international law will find this Handbook to be a valuable resource. Both practising lawyers and commercial lobbyists will also find many useful insights. Contributors include: O. Bamodu, I. Carr, Y. Farah, G. Güneysu-Güngör, L. Heffernan, S. Hourani, D. Kenny, M.

Written by experts from a variety of European countries, this Commentary draws on scholarship and practice from a number of EU states to enrich its analysis and explore pertinent questions of jurisprudence. It also highlights the close relationship of the Regulations with other legislative measures of the EU in the field of private international law, such as on matters of succession and matrimonial matters.

It will also be of interest to scholars and other practitioners working in the field of private international law. Contributors include: G. Biagioni, A. Bonomi, B. Campuzano Díaz, J. Carruthers, S.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Role of the EU in Transnational Legal
Book SynopsisThis book explores questions of transnational private legal theory in the context of the external dimension of EU private law. The interaction between existing theories of transnational ordering and the external reach of European Regulatory Private Law is articulated through the examination of what are found to be the three major proxies of transnational private ordering: private standards, contracts and codes. Chapters survey the absence of jurisdictional restrictions in the transnational space and how the EU is arguably shaping transnational private governance to pursue regulatory aims. These regulatory endeavours span not only institutional structures and substantive rules but also the values that inform them. Leading contributors provide insights into a broad range of transnational governance considerations, from the standardization of the internet and contracts in energy exchanges to private food safety standards. The Role of the EU in Transnational Legal Ordering will be of interest to students and scholars working in the areas of EU law, regulatory law, international law, transnational governance, and private law. EU law practitioners and policy-makers will also find the analysis of key elements of EU regulation beneficial. Contributors include: C. Busch, M. Cantero Gamito, L. de Almeida, T. Juutilainen, A.

WarwasTrade Review'The book fills an important gap between the literature on EU external relations and the literature on transitional (private) law as well as global administrative law. The book is certainly a very recommended read: for public and private law researchers with an interest in standardization on EU and global level; for scholars that work in the blurring borderline of public law and private regulation; and to practitioners working in the respective fields covered in the book chapters who may find it is of value to them.' -- Sabrina Röttger-Wirtz, Review of European Administrative Law'This fascinating book breaks important new ground in exploring the private mechanisms of transnational legal ordering through contracts, standards, and codes. It shows the major role played by the European Union, even given the serious internal challenges the EU faces.' --Gregory Shaffer, Georgetown University Law Center, US'The private dimension of the EU's external governance is a topic that is important yet under-explored.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Forum Shopping and International Commercial Law
Book SynopsisCommentators and courts disagree on such fundamental issues as the definition of forum shopping and whether it is an 'unsung virtue' or an untrammelled vice. Disagreements persist on how to deal with 'virtuous' forum shopping or how best to proscribe "evil" forum shopping, if such a distinction can at all be made. This research review illuminates, explores and contest these questions. The text identifies articles that analyse the definitions and purpose of forum shopping, the right and duty to practise it and how it relates to private international law. Other topics covered include the link between forum shopping and uniform substantive law and jurisdictional issues and arbitration. This research review provides a comprehensive overview of the topic and will prove useful to academics, students and practitioners alike.Trade Review‘These amazing three volumes - containing everything you always wanted to know about forum shopping but were afraid to ask - are a masterwork on one of the most controversial and ubiquitous issues of International Law. The selection and classification of the articles included in this Research Collection could hardly be better and go certainly beyond the scope suggested by the title. Indeed, readers will find much more than International Commercial Law therein.’Table of ContentsVolume I Contents: Acknowledgements Introduction Franco Ferrari and Aaron D.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Rome III Regulation: A Commentary on the Law
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive Commentary provides an in-depth, article-by-article analysis of the Rome III Regulation, the uniform rules adopted by the EU to determine the law applicable to cross-border divorce and legal separation. Disputes on family matters form part of everyday litigation in the EU, with around 140,000 international divorces per year; this Commentary offers a clear legal understanding of the Regulation that governs this increasingly significant area of family law. Written by a team of renowned experts on private international law in relation to family matters, chapters contextualize and examine the provisions of the Regulation, with clear insight into the rationale behind the text. The contributors engage critically with each article, analysing Rome III's overall effectiveness and offering a balanced critique from a variety of European perspectives. Private international law scholars and practitioners alike will find this Commentary an incisive and useful point of reference. It will be of particular interest to those working in family law, including judges, lawyers, public notaries and family mediators, as well as graduate students looking for in-depth knowledge of the subject. Contributors include: A. Boiché, L. Carpaneto, C. Chalas, S. Corneloup, S. Dominelli, P. Franzina, C. González Beilfuss, S.L. Gössl, P. Hammje, B. Heiderhoff, F. Jault-Seseke, N. Joubert, T. Kruger, C. Rupp, J. VerhellenTrade Review'This book makes a significant contribution to the literature on an important, complex and sensitive topic. It is comprehensive, meticulous and well written. It explains how the Rome III Regulation will, or should, operate in practice but, most importantly, it thoughtfully addresses the many questions that the Regulation leaves unanswered.' --Symeon Symeonides, Willamette University, US'As about 13% of divorces in Europe have links with more than one country, the Rome III Regulation covers a significant need in EU law. However, lawyers and judges, particularly, must still spend their time solving problems such as how to avoid forum shopping, and clarifying the relationship with other instruments on related matters such as maintenance obligations. This Commentary, coordinated by Sabine Corneloup with the participation of outstanding specialists, provides an essential tool to help in this difficult task.' --Alegría Borrás, University of Barcelona, SpainTable of ContentsContents: Introduction 1 Sabine Corneloup CHAPTER I: SCOPE, RELATION WITH REGULATION (EC) No 2201/2003, DEFINITIONS AND UNIVERSAL APPLICATION Article 1 Scope 23 Susanne Lilian Gössl and Jinske Verhellen Article 2 Relation with Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003 37 Sabine Corneloup Article 3 Definitions 42 Petra Hammje Article 4 Universal application 60 Fabienne Jault-Seseke CHAPTER II: UNIFORM RULES ON THE LAW APPLICABLE TO DIVORCE AND LEGAL SEPARATION Article 5 Choice of applicable law by the parties 65 Cristina González Beilfuss Article 6 Consent and material validity 79 Natalie Joubert Article 7 Formal validity 87 Alexandre Boiché Article 8 Applicable law in the absence of a choice by the parties 92 Pietro Franzina Article 9 Conversion of legal separation into divorce 113 Laura Carpaneto Article 10 Application of the law of the forum 125 Bettina Heiderhoff Article 11 Exclusion of renvoi 139 Stefano Dominelli Article 12 Public policy 150 Bettina Heiderhoff Article 13 Differences in national law 163 Christelle Chalas Article 14 States with two or more legal systems – territorial conflicts of laws 177 Caroline Sophie Rupp Article 15 States with two or more legal systems – inter-personal conflicts of laws 191 Caroline Sophie Rupp Article 16 Non-application of this Regulation to internal conflicts of laws 200 Caroline Sophie Rupp CHAPTER III: OTHER PROVISIONS Article 17 Information to be provided by participating Member States 206 Alexandre Boiché Article 18 Transitional provisions 210 Cristina González Beilfuss Article 19 Relationship with existing international conventions 214 Thalia Kruger Article 20 Review clause 223 Sabine Corneloup CHAPTER IV: FINAL PROVISIONS Article 21 Entry into force and date of application 225 Sabine Corneloup Index 227

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Elgar Companion to the Hague Conference on
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive Companion is a unique guide to the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH), an intergovernmental organisation dedicated to developing multilateral legal instruments pertaining to personal, family and commercial legal situations that cross national borders. The Companion is a critical assessment of, and reflection on, past and possible future contributions of the HCCH to the further development and unification of private international law. Written by international experts who have all directly or indirectly contributed to the work of the HCCH, chapters analyse its structure and working methods, as well as explore its significant achievements in the areas of international family law, civil procedure, legal cooperation, commercial and finance law. The contributors also discuss the many challenges both the HCCH and other global organisations are facing, including the advent of regionalism and renewed nationalism.Scholars and students of private international law, as well as private legal practitioners and members of the judiciary, will find this book to be crucial reading. Those working at other international organisations such as NGOs, banks and businesses will also find its insights into the workings of a successful international organisation beneficial.Trade Review'In this book there are 35 contributions from foremost experts around the world. They deal with the history of the HCCH, its role in an increasingly globalised world, and its role in the future. Especially valuable is the critical analysis of the existing HCCH instruments. [...] All scholars in this field will need to take notice of this comprehensive work, and practitioners in ever-increasing international litigation will find much that is of great practical importance.' -- extracted from the Foreword by Lord Collins of Mapesbury, LLD, FBA, former Justice, UK Supreme Court'This Companion is a reflection of and tribute to the work of the Hague Conference on Private International Law over its 125 year history. The thirty-five chapters in the book consist of contributions by leading private international law experts - academics, practitioners, and judges - from across the globe. These chapters trace the development of the organization from its inception, review the various instruments produced by the HCCH, and discuss more generally substantive developments in private international law from a comparative perspective. The range of the Companion - like that of the Hague Conference itself - is comprehensive and covers issues of commercial law, family law, civil procedure, and judicial cooperation. Together the chapters underscore important themes that have been crucial to the HCCH: access to justice, the role of soft law, multilateralism, and the relationship between public and private international law. There is no work like it that I know of, and anyone who works in this field needs to have a copy and to read it cover to cover.' -- Linda J. Silberman, New York University, School of Law, US'Edward Elgar's latest contribution to the field of private international law appropriately focuses on the sole intergovernmental organization dealing exclusively with issues in this area. Since 1955, the Hague Conference on Private International Law has developed into a truly global organization, with 45% of its membership joining since the turn of the century. Nevertheless, there remains scope for improvement of participation by countries in Africa and the Middle East. The contributions deal with the full range of Hague instruments; nonetheless, certain concepts surface continuously, including access to justice, cross-border legal cooperation, international human rights law, party autonomy and technological developments. Editors John, Gulati and Kohler should be congratulated on their initiative and the resultant substantial and valuable contribution to the available literature on the Hague Conference.' -- Jan L. Neels, University of Johannesburg, South Africa'The Hague Conference is the symbol of efforts to coordinate divergent legal orders in the interest of individuals, families and undertakings. Various such efforts have been successful, producing instruments of worldwide effectiveness, others have failed; all of them contributed to a common ground for legal scholarship in private international law. The rich experience of more than a century is collected in this valuable book. Its 35 chapters address general institutional aspects of the Hague Conference, its increasing effects in continents outside Europe and a great number of specific issues covering the whole range of international commercial transactions, family relations and procedural cooperation. The editors and authors, well-known experts in their respective fields, have successfully compiled a volume that will be an indispensable guide to its subject for many years.' -- Jurgen Basedow, Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law, GermanyTable of ContentsContents: Foreword I xxi Christophe Bernasconi Foreword II xxiv Lord Collins Editors’ introduction to the Elgar companion to the HCCH xxv PART I HCCH: INSTITUTIONAL PERSPECTIVES SECTION 1 – HCCH AS AN INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTION 1 The Netherlands Standing Government Committee on Private International Law 3 Paul Vlas 2 The HCCH and functional immunity: on origins, scope, and access to court 11 Guido den Dekker 3 The three sisters of private international law: an increasingly co-operative family rather than sibling rivals 23 William Brydie-Watson SECTION 2 – HCCH AS AN ORGANISATION WITH GLOBAL REACH 4 The HCCH’s development in Latin America and the Caribbean 42 Nuria Gonzalez-Martin 5 The HCCH’s development in Africa 52 Richard Frimpong Oppong and Pontian N.

Book SynopsisThe public policy exception in private international law is designed to provide a national backstop in the application of foreign laws. This book provides detailed and practical comparative coverage of the use of public policy in the context of private international law across a number of important jurisdictions spanning three continents.Trade Review‘There is nothing more national in private international law than the public policy exception and its application. This book contains a recent account of how far legal systems are prepared to apply foreign law and to disregard their domestic private law values. A valuable tool for academics and practitioners forged by excellent authors.’ -- Anatol Dutta, Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich, Germany'The public policy exception, long the undertheorized underbelly of private international law, has been rehabilitated in theory, but little was still known, comparatively, about its practical application.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Comparative Law of Obligations
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive book provides a comparative overview of legal institutions that intersect with everyday life: contracts, unilateral legal transactions, torts, negotiorum gestio and unjust enrichment. These institutions form the core of the Law of Obligations, which is examined in this book from the perspective of all major legal traditions including Civil, Common, Islamic and Chinese law. Offering a critical understanding of the legal regulation of institutions in national legal systems, the book identifies distinct concepts of the law of obligations that emerge from them and explains their underlying motives. The author provides valuable insights into how differently basic legal institutions are regulated across national borders, as well as unveiling the roots of legal institutions of the utmost significance in international trade such as contracts, pre-contractual liability, liability for torts and restitution of unjust enrichment.

It may tackle entire legal orders or single issues. Moura Vicente chooses a middle course; in a systematic way he deals with the law of obligations (contracts, torts, restitution) covering a wide range of both common law and civil law systems. His international expertise witnessed by many comparative law publications in Portuguese, is now accessible to a broader community.’ -- Jürgen Basedow, Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Private Law, GermanyTable of ContentsContents: I Introduction II Contracts III Unilateral legal transactions IV Non-contractual liability V Negotiorum gestio VI Unjust enrichment VII Main concepts of the Law of Obligations VIII The international harmonisation and unification of the Law of Obligations Index

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Private International Law: Contemporary
Book SynopsisIs Private International Law (PIL) still fit to serve its function in today's global environment? In light of some calls for radical changes to its very foundations, this timely book investigates the ability of PIL to handle contemporary and international problems, and inspires genuine debate on the future of the field. Separated into nine parts, each containing two perspectives on a different issue or challenge, this unique book considers issues such as the certainty vs flexibility of laws, the notion of universal values, the scope of party autonomy, the emerging challenges of extraterritoriality and global governance issues in the context of PIL. Further topics include current developments in forum access, the recognition and enforcement of judgments, foreign law in domestic courts and PIL in international arbitration. This comprehensive work will be of great value to scholars and students working across all areas of PIL. It will also be an important touchstone for practitioners seeking to think creatively about their cases involving conflict of laws and PIL. Contributors include: V.R. Abou-Nigm, G.A. Bermann, A. Bonomi, R.A. Brand, D.P. Fernández Arroyo, F. Ferrari, H.A. Grigera Naón, B. Hess, M. Lehmann, M. Mantovani, R. Michaels, Y. Nishitani, F. Ragno, M. Reimann, K. Roosevelt III, L.J. Silberman, S.C. Symeonides, L.E. Teitz, H. van LoonTrade Review'Globalization has tremendously enhanced the number of cross-border transactions and, thereby, the significance of the conflict of laws. But is the localization method conceived in the 19th century for both jurisdiction and the applicable law still appropriate in the 21st? Can it serve purposes of global governance, give effect to universal values, allow for the implementation of national policies, provide legal certainty? The editors and authors, outstanding scholars in this area, provide thoughtful and interesting answers to these pressing questions.' --Jürgen Basedow, Member of the Institut de Droit InternationalTable of ContentsContents: Introduction 1 Franco Ferrari and Diego P.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Practice of Judicial Interaction in the Field
Book SynopsisThis insightful and timely book provides a comparative assessment of selected legal issues emerging from the EU legal context which impact profoundly on the national legal systems. It argues that judicial interaction can answer complex legal questions relating to the implementation of the EU Charter.Featuring practical cases of judicial interactions between European and national courts, the contributions in this book analyse the multi-dimensional impact of a wide array of judicial interaction techniques such as the preliminary reference procedure, consistent interpretation, comparative reasoning, mutual recognition and disapplication. Constructed in an insightful manner, the book stimulates debate and dialogue across the boundaries of practice and academia, featuring exchanges of expertise and knowledge between legal practitioners and leading scholars.This timely book will be an invaluable resource for scholars and post-graduate students in courses on European fundamental rights, empirical research methods in law, EU litigation practice and judicial cooperation. It will also prove to be a useful guide for legal practitioners, providing practical and punctual analysis of the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union on the application of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.Trade Review‘This book is a must-read for both academics and practitioners who engage with the application of fundamental rights in the interaction between the national and European level. Casarosa and Moraru have brought together a diverse group of esteemed authors, who provide new and inspiring insights into the application of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights in the interplay between national courts and the CJEU. Offering both general and sector-specific views, the book contributes to a more profound understanding of the many ways in which European fundamental rights have influenced the adjudication of a variety of issues (including migration, consumer and non-discrimination cases) through the interaction of judges in Europe. It presents a colourful map of the current state of the field and starting points for the further development of fundamental rights protection in Europe.’ -- Chantal Mak, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands‘The book edited by Casarosa and Moraru goes back to a larger research of the Centre of Judicial Cooperation at the EUI which brought together judges and academics in order to discuss and to investigate judicial interaction in the field of fundamental rights. The 26 contributions from all over the EU provide for a deep insight into the practical relevance of the Charter of Fundamental Rights over a broad array of legal fields. The particular background and the composition of the research group draws a lively picture on what is happening between European and national courts. The depth and breadth of the undertaking allows to much better understand the variety and the complexity of the interaction between European courts. It adds a new layer to the broad literature and is both tremendously helpful and deeply insightful for academics and practitioners.’ -- Hans-Wolfgang Micklitz, European University Institute, ItalyTable of ContentsContents: Foreword by Deirdre Curtin xii Acknowledgements xvi 1 Judicial interactions in action – a tool for a more powerful and influential EU Charter of Fundamental Rights 1 Federica Casarosa and Madalina Moraru PART I HORIZONTAL ISSUES 2 The application of the rights and principles of the Charter of Fundamental Rights 24 Nina Półtorak 3 Comment: the Charter and its triple challenge: unclear applicability, a foggy distinction between rights and principles and a lack of engagement at the national level 54 Gabriel Toggenburg 4 European values and national constitutions: bringing the EU Charter in from uncharted waters 60 Saša Zagorc and Marjan Kos 5 Comment: the standard of fundamental rights protection according to the EU Charter: what is the role of national standards (and courts)? 81 Nicole Lazzerini 6 The potential and the limits of the impact of the Charter on constitutional jurisprudence 89 Matej Accetto 7 Comment: can the Charter help to protect rights in the Member States? 108 Gábor Halmai 8 Judicial independence – the EU’s prescription in the making to the Polish (and other) maladies 113 Karolina Podstawa and Jarosław Gwizdak 9 Comment: Austro-Hungarian partnership?
