This chapter deals with the European law governing jurisdiction in divorce and the international law concepts that are a feature of this area of law. It discusses the increasingly important question of jurisdiction in divorce proceedings, and explains the concepts of ‘domicile’which includes domicile of origin, domicile of dependence, and domicile of choice. It also explains the concept of ‘habitual residence’ as how both domicile and habitual residence apply to divorce proceedings. There is finally an outline of jurisdiction in practice and the rule that if the domicile of a client is uncertain then habitual residence is usually easier to establish. There is some mention of Brexit.

The awarding of public contracts is of considerable economic importance and for this reason can be used to promote environmental concerns. The present work examines whether environmental criteria may be taken into account in the context of public procurement. To answer this question, the Government Procurement Agreement and the UNICTRAL Model Law on Public Procurement are considered at the level of international law. In European law, the primary as well as the relevant secondary law requirements and, in German law, the Cartel and Budget Procurement Law are assessed. This analysis also includes the interactions between the three levels.

AbstractEUNAVFOR Operation Atalanta has been the first maritime operation of the European Union and it has certainly been successful given the significant decrease of pirate attacks off the Somali coast. However, various issues have been raised concerning its legal basis under international law and its legal framework, including questions of responsibility. These issues are particularly interesting since the EU has a more integrated legal order than other organizations involved in such operations (eg UN, NATO). The present article attempts to address these issues against the background of international and European law. Even though the legal basis of the Operation is clear from a European law perspective, there have been certain misconceptions concerning the legal basis of the Operation under international law. The delineation of the Operation's legal framework requires a careful analysis of the rules applicable to each of its phases and of its addressees, since each phase is subject to different rules which are binding on different actors. Finally, there is an extensive discussion of questions of responsibility, which were heavily influenced by the applicable Rules of Engagement and of the actual conduct of the Operation. The conclusion is that, at least on the high seas, responsibility should primarily rest with the flag States rather than with the EU. However, in most cases the EU is indirectly responsible for violations of international law, except in cases where suspected pirates are transferred to third States pursuant to EU agreements with such States, in which case it bears primarily responsibility.

This chapter examines mental incapacity as a special issue in private international law. Problems arise in cases where, for example, a mentally incapacitated person may be present in one country but habitually resident in another when measures of protection are needed; or this person may own property situated in a country different from his present location or habitual residence that needs to be dealt with. This chapter considers the jurisdiction of the English courts to order protective measures over a mentally disordered or incapacitated person or over his property, as well as the choice of law rules governing the protection of mentally incapacitated persons, prior to and under the Mental Capacity Act 2005. It also discusses the recognition and enforcement of protective measures taken abroad, along with cases outside the realm of the Mental Capacity Act.
