This commentary focuses on Article 3.3.1 of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC) concerning contracts that infringe mandatory rules. Art 3.3.1 governs a specific aspect of the mandatory rules regime, namely the effect that their infringement produces on a contract. The relevant mandatory rules, however, are not set forth in the PICC; rather, the PICC defer to the binding norms from which such rules originate. Thus, the definition of what constitutes illegal conduct is to be found in those binding norms. Similarly, Art 3.3.1 defers to Art 1.4 PICC with respect to the applicability of any mandatory rule, which, in turn, defers to the relevant rules of private international law. This commentary discusses the scope of application of Art 3.3.1, with particular emphasis on the effects of mandatory rules whether or not expressly prescribed, effects upon the contract and remedies under the contract, and the importance of mandatory rules.

Abstract Cases involving the posting of workers will inevitably involve international elements and therefore issues of private international law. Historically, it has been assumed that English employment law is territorial: in particular section 204 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 provides that the provisions of the Act apply irrespective of the law applicable to the contract. This contribution examines this proposition through the perspective of private international law principles, and also considers the compatibility of section 204 with the private international law rules in the Posted Workers Directive and the new definition of overriding mandatory rules in the Rome I Regulation.

The article studies the concept and the need to apply super-mandatory rules in international private relations. The concept of super-mandatory rules emerged in international law in the 20th century. However, different countries provide various definitions of such rules and develop different practices of their application. The diversification of this concept hinders the effective protection of violated rights and obligations of parties to international relations. Analyzing different acts of international law, the authors of the article offer their vision of super-mandatory rules. Methods: The topic was studied through general scientific methods and special scientific methods, including system-structural, historical, technical-legal analysis, comparative jurisprudence, etc. The objective is to examine the application of super-mandatory rules (in particular, their possible application in international private relations), as well as determine and formulate their essence. Results: The authors have studied the application of super-mandatory rules in various countries, including Russia. They have also formed the definition of super-mandatory rules and considered the possibility of their application in Russia.

This chapter examines the private international law rules governing trusts which are laid down in the Recognition of Trusts Act 1987 and its scheduled Convention. The Recognition of Trusts Act was passed in 1987 to enable the UK to give effect to the Convention, formally concluded in 1985 by the Hague Conference on Private International Law, on the Law Applicable to Trusts and on their Recognition. The chapter begins with a discussion of some preliminary issues, such as the definition of a trust, types of trust that fall within the 1987 Act, validity of the instrument of creation of the trust, and transfer of trust assets. It then considers the specific rules governing choice of law and the recognition of trusts, along with mandatory rules and public policy. It also looks at the variation of trusts and marriage settlements, citing the relevant provisions of the Variation of Trusts Act 1958.

Para Determinar

Resumen: Tradicionalmente, el Derecho de la competencia se ha interpretado desde el Derecho administrativo y el Derecho mercantil, pero cada vez resulta más necesaria la interpretación desde el Derecho Internacional privado, para determinar el juez competente y la ley aplicable, cuando concurran elementos transfronterizos. Desde un punto de vista calificatorio, las infracciones a las normas de defen­sa de la competencia, se consideran materia extracontractual (a pesar de que hay casos contractuales), lo que remite al artículo 7.2 del Reglamento Bruselas I bis y al Reglamento Roma II. Por su parte, los artículos 101 y 102 TFUE son leyes de policía. La jurisprudencia del TJUE resulta esclarecedora y cru­cial, mientras no se apruebe un Reglamento europeo que confirme la naturaleza de las infracciones a las normas de competencia.Palabras clave: derecho de la competencia, derecho internacional privado, extracontractual, ley de policía, cartel damage claims.Abstract: Traditionally, Antitrust Law has been interpreted from administrative law and commer­cial law, but it is increasingly necessary interpretation from private international law, to determine the competent judge and the applicable law, when cross-border elements concur. From a qualifying point of view, breaches of the rules of defense of competition are considered matters relating to tort, delict or quasidelict (although there are cases relating to contracts), which refers to article 7.2 of the Brussels I recast and the Rome II Regulation. Besides, articles 101 and 102 TFEU are overriding mandatory rules. The jurisprudence of the CJEU is enlightening, pending the adoption of a European Regulation confir­ming the nature of the infringements of the competition rules.Keywords: antitrust law, private international law, relating to tort, delict or quasi-delict, overriding mandatory rule, cartel damage claims.

This chapter takes us into the domain of legal theory and legal philosophy as it places the questions of Internet jurisdiction in a broader theoretical, and indeed philosophical, context. Indeed, it goes as far as to (1) present a definition of what is law, (2) discuss what are the law’s tools, and (3) to describe the roles of law. In addition, it provides distinctions important for how we understand the role of jurisdictional rules both in private international law and in public international law as traditionally defined. Furthermore, it adds law reform tools by introducing and discussing the concept of ‘market sovereignty’ based on ‘market destroying measures’––an important concept for solving the Internet jurisdiction puzzle.

Legal Consequences

The article is devoted to the definition of the conditions under which it is possible to apply the rules on evasion of law in civil relations complicated by a foreign element. It is possible to recognize evasion of law only by identification of characteristic features of this legal phenomenon in private international law. The author substantiates the idea that the dispute about the validity of imposing a ban on evasion of law in private international law doesn’t have political and legal importance: should not deny the theory of evasion of law, but to define the conditions under which it is possible to apply the norms of evasion of law. The problem is how to make the norms of evasion of law an effective means of suppression to disservice of an indefinite number of people, the protection of public policy. When imposing a ban on the evasion of law the most important is the question of the pending consequences when and where the acts of evasion of law will be revealed. The article deals with the question of identification the legal consequences of qualification of actions as done through evasion of law. Besides, the article attends to the response to “evasion of law” in the national legal systems.

The Relationship

AbstractThis article analyses the relationship of the proposed Common European Sales Law (CESL) and the rules on mandatory and overriding provisions in private international law. The author argues that the CESL will not achieve its stated aim of taking precedence over these provisions of national law and therefore not lead to an increase in cross-border trade. It is pointed out how slight changes in drafting can overcome the collision with mandatory provisions. The clash with overriding mandatory provisions, the author argues, should be taken as an opportunity to rethink the definition of these provisions.
