This second chapter starts by clarifying the concept of ‘law of the arbitration’ or lex arbitri, underscoring that any arbitration needs to be governed by a national law of arbitration. The chapter then examines how to determine the national arbitration law that governs a specific arbitration by analysing the scope of application of the national arbitration law, especially Chapter 12 of the Private International Law Act (PILA), and distinguishing between international and domestic arbitrations. In this context, the chapter addresses the legal significance the seat of the arbitration, the practical considerations that should guide the selection of the seat, as well as the possibility for parties to arbitrations seated in Switzerland to opt in or out of the (international or domestic) regime governing the arbitration. Finally, the chapter describes the main features of national arbitration laws using Chapter 12 PILA as an example.

Conflict Of Law

After decades of Hague Conference for private international law's working and several international instruments, enacted by this organisation after the Second World War in the field of private international law aspects of maintenance, Hague Protocol on the Law Applicable to Maintenance Obligations is adopted. Comprehensiveness of the conflict of law solutions relating to different mutual bases of maintenance with international element, selection of adequate linking factors in this filed and certain solutions, based on favor creditoris principle give to Hague Protocol a landmark of quality and significant source of private international law. As Hague Protocol is included in our conflict of law system, the author in this paper exposes the scope of application of this source, it’s key provisions and significance for domestic private international law.

Conflict of Legal Issues Regarding Matrimonial Property Regimes under the New Private International Law of 2011SummaryThe conflict-of-law method for the determination of the law applicable to matrimonial property regimes under the Polish InternationalPrivate Law Act of 1965 became obsolete and no longer came up tocurrent standards and needs, and therefore required thorough revision.The most important shortfalls of the previous regulation were theexclusion of freedom of choice of the law applicable to matrimonialproperty relations, the selection of criteria recognised as objectiveconnecting factors, the excessive privilege of lex fori, and the lack ofinstruments protecting third parties entering into legal relations witha married couple.Amendments in the above-mentioned scope were introduced by theInternational Private Law Act of February 4, 2011 (Ustawa z dnia 4 lutego 2011 r. – Prawo prywatne międzynarodowe), that came into forceon May 16, 2011. However, certain provisions of the new Act haveraised doubts. This paper presents them and tries to provide a criticalassessment.

Abstract This contribution deals with the influence of the Reformation on the law in Denmark. The Reformation was basically a reform of the church, but it also affected the concept of law and state in general. In 1536, King Christian III dismissed the catholic bishops and withheld the property of the church. The king, as custos duarum tabularum, guardian of both the tablets of law, also took over the legislation for the church. Especially in subjects of morals and criminal law new principles and statutes were enacted. Copenhagen University was reformed into a protestant seminary even though the former faculties were maintained. For that task Johannes Bugenhagen was summoned who also drafted the new church ordinance of 1537. In marriage law protestant principles were introduced. A marriage order was established in 1582.

Concept Of Law

H.L.A. Hart’s (1961) book The Concept of Law already caught my fancy as an undergraduate student in Ireland. It seemed to do more in illumination of its theme than most of the tomes in analytical, continental or scholastic philosophy to which I was introduced in a wonderfully idiosyncratic syllabus. What I attempt here, many years later, is guided by a desire to explore the possibility of providing for ethics and morality the sort of perspective that Hart gave us on the law....

The Law

In deciding cases of private international law or conflict of laws, as it is widely known, judges of the Supreme Court in India generally consult the works of renowned English jurists like Dicey and Cheshire. This volume argues that our country should have its own system of resolving inter-territorial issues with cross-border implications. The author critically analyses cases covering areas such as the law of obligations, the law of persons, the law of property, foreign judgments, and foreign arbitral awards. The author provides his perspectives on the application of law in each case. The idea is to find out where the judges went wrong in deciding cases of private international law, so that corrective measures can be taken in future to resolve disputes involving complex, extra-territorial issues.

This new guide to schemes of arrangement draws together all of the elements of the law and practice concerning both creditor and member schemes. Member schemes of arrangement have become the preferred method of implementing takeovers in the UK. Creditor schemes of arrangement are increasingly used in restructuring matters and the trend in their usage in foreign companies is likely to continue as many credit documents across Europe are arranged and underwritten in London under English law. The book considers the effect given to an English scheme in foreign jurisdictions, and other Private International Law issues. A major issue for those considering a scheme for creditors is whether a scheme or CVA (Company Voluntary Arrangement) is more appropriate and this book assists the reader by including an analysis of the pros and cons of schemes and CVAs. There are very few sources of information on schemes of arrangement and the area takes much of its substance from case law. This book, addressing the law and practical issues faced by practitioners on a day-to-day basis, is a first in the field.

The Eu

The position of the executor of the will is governed by the law applicable to succession (Article 23(2)(f) of the EU Regulation 650/2012), while the position of the succession administrator of the estate of a business of a physical person located in Poland is subject to the Law of 5 July 2018 on the succession administration of the business of a physical person (the legal basis for such solution is in Article 30 of the EU Regulation 650/2012). However, if the court needs to determine the law applicable to certain aspects of appointing or functioning of these institutions, which have a nature of partial or preliminary questions, these laws will apply, as determined in line with the methods elaborated to deal with partial and preliminary questions in private international law. The rules devoted to the executors of wills are usually not self-standing. In such situations, the legislators most often call for supportive application of the rules designed for other matters existing in the same legal system (here — of the legis successionis). This is referred to as the absorption of the legal rules.

Abstract Qualification is the basic instrument used in the process of application of the law. It is impossible to apply the law without conducting it. The main internal source of collision law in Poland, Act of private international law dated February 4th, 2011, does not specify how to carry on the process of the qualification, and doctrine is of the opinion that the Polish court applying foreign law should interpret the foreign concepts according to the rules of this law and give them such meanings as this law assigns to them. But also there are four doctrinal proposals concerning methods of qualification. The first one (with various modifications) is relatively popular in a number of countries, while the Polish doctrine has the greatest respect for the latter: 1) lex fori approach, 2) lex causae approach, 3) autonomous method and 4) functional method (or collision lex fori approach). The English judge applying the rules derived from his own internal law remembers about the function of private international law - and therefore takes into account the rules and institutions adopted in the foreign laws. That is application of lex fori approach modified because of the function of collision law, indeed reminiscent of a functional method. However, due to the lack of a uniform approach to qualification and identification of the only way to proceed by the doctrine and case law, it is permissible to move away from the use of this method. For instance it is possible to use the lex causae approach, if it leads to an equitable solution. Lack of regulation of qualification gives a person applying the law a freedom, but at the same time leads to uncertainty about the effects.
