Conflict Of Law

Private international law smoothes the edges of civilian law and common law thanks to its specific legislative and technical structure. Conflict-of-law rules are considered to be neutral, and therefore more appropriate for unification, than substantive rules because countries are prepared to surrender their own individual solutions for the sake of uniform international or supranational regulation. This is evident in the successful unification of conflict-of-law rules at the global and European Union levels, as compared with the less common partial unifications of substantive rules. The paper illustrates several examples of unilateral legal acts in the European space, how diverse may be their substantive qualification in different legal systems, and what impacts these substantive differences may have upon the determination of the applicable law for obligations under European conflict-of-law rules. From the perspective of the conflict of laws, an issue remains open regarding what approach should be taken where a uniform legislative instrument – namely a European Regulation – fails to include a particular institution or act either expressly or impliedly.

Conflict Of Law

Disputes arising from international data breaches can be complex. Despite the introduction of new, unified EU regulation on the protection of personal data (GDPR), the European Union failed to amend the Rome II Regulation on the applicable law to non-contractual liability and to extend its scope to the infringements of privacy. GDPR only contains provisions on international civil procedure. However, there are no supplementing conflict-of-law rules. In order to determine the applicable law national courts have to apply divergent and dispersed national codifications of private international law. The aim of this study is to propose an optimal conflict-of-law model for determining the applicable law in case of infringement of the GDPR’s privacy regime.

Estas comunidades de vida, cada vez más comunes en España, conllevan también consecuencias económicas. Cuando se acaba el amor empiezan los litigios. Los integrantes de la pareja pueden reclamar alimentos debidos, pensión por desequilibrio, adjudicación de la vivienda y del ajuar familiar o posibles derechos sucesorios. En este trabajo se analizará la competencia judicial internacional y la Ley aplicable al patrimonio de las parejas de hecho no registradas en Derecho internacional privado español.Palabras clave: Normas de producción interna, competencia judicial internacional, ley aplicable, parejas de hecho, parejas no casadas, uniones de hecho.Abstract: New Regulation 1104/2016 deals with the assessment of international jurisdiction, applicable law and extraterritorial validity of decisions relating to the patrimonial effects of registered partnerships. The patrimonial effects of unregistered couples remain subject to domestic rules. These unions are more and more common in Spain and they also entail economic consequences. When love ends, litigation starts. The former partners can proceed against each other claiming for maintenance, compensatory allowances, rights of use and occupancy of the house or household effects and potential inheritance rights. This paper addresses the determination of international jurisdiction and applicable law on these matters under Spanish private international law.Keywords: Domestic rules, international jurisdiction, applicable law, civil partnerships, unmarried couples, de facto unions.

The purpose of this paper is to determine the ways of synchronization of applicable law with forum in succession and matrimonial property matters under the EU Succession Regulation and the EU Matrimonial Property Regulation and the rules which may determine international jurisdiction and applicable law in Ukraine as well as answer the question on whether the rules of the Law of Ukraine on Private International Law which ensure synchronization of applicable law with forum in succession and matrimonial property matters match the needs of legal regulation of private relationships. The application of comparative, dialectical and formal-logical methods allowed concluding that synchronization of the applicable law with forum is provided by using of the same criteria for the determination of international jurisdiction and applicable law. The rules which ensure synchronization can: 1) necessarily lead to the application of the court's own law in some private legal matters; 2) be an alternative to the other methods of determination of the applicable law and international jurisdiction which is applied if the parties to the respective relationship conclude the choiceof-law and choice-of-court agreements linking to the law and the court of the same state. Synchronization of the law with the forum in matrimonial property matters is possible under of the Law of Ukraine 'On Private International Law' if the spouses have concluded the choice-of-law and choice-of-court agreements and in some other cases. It has been proved that the rules of the Law of Ukraine 'On Private International Law' which apply dualistic approach for determination of the law governing succession relationships does not allow to achieve synchronization of the applicable law with the forum in succession matters in all cases. It has been demonstrated that the presence of immovable property in the estate located abroad leads to the application of a foreign law to the succession of such property, even if a deceased, being a citizen of Ukraine, has chosen in his will the law of Ukraine as the law applicable to the succession. It has been concluded that the Law of Ukraine 'On Private International Law' should be amended in such a way that the choice of the law applicable to the succession made by a deceased in the will should cover the succession of movable and immovable property regardless of its location. Keywords: synchronization of law with the forum; law applicable to succession; international jurisdiction in succession matters; international jurisdiction in family matters; Succession Regulation; Matrimonial Property Regulation; Agreement between Ukraine and the Republic of Poland on legal assistance and legal relations in civil and criminal matters; Law of Ukraine 'On Private International Law'.

The physical death of man leads, from a legal point of view, to the loss of the status of subject of law, but his patrimony, rights and obligations of patrimonial character, remain. Also, the deceased traditionally enjoys a certain respect, being protected, meaning that there was talk of a right of corpses to protect the privacy of their own image, a right to their integrity, a right to peace of last place and a right to respect for the memory of the deceased. The Civil Code in Articles 78 to 81 expressly provides for the regulation of rules likely to protect the non-patrimonial rights of the deceased person under the name of „Respect due to the person and after his death”. Thus, according to art. 80 paragraph (Lupaşcu, 2012, p. 112) of the Civil Code: „any person may determine his own funeral and may dispose of his body after death. In the case of those who do not have the capacity to exercise or those who have a limited capacity to exercise, the written consent of the parents or, as the case may be, of the guardian is also required”. Without the regulations regarding the respect of the natural person and after his death being irrelevant, the regulations regarding the fate of the deceased person's patrimony are much wider and more complex, making up the matter of successions. In art. 953 C. Civ, the inheritance is defined as the transmission of the patrimony of a deceased natural person to one or more persons in existence. The current Civil Code often uses the notion of inheritance, but the notion of succession has the same meaning, except that it is used less often.

Conflict Of Law

Тhis paper analyses the conflict-of-law regime for agency, where the main attention is given to the problem of determining applicable law for existence, extent and effects of agent’s authority (including effects of excess of authority and acting without authority), since Serbian Private International Law Act (SPILA) does not contain the special conflict-of-law rules for these issues. Having this in mind, the analysis is focused on whether the mentioned issues concerning agent’s authority should be governed by the law applicable to the internal relationship between principal and agent or by the law applicable to the contract between principal and third party, or it is necessary to create the new conflict-of-law rules for these issues in accordance with Art. 2 of SPILA that regulates filling the legal gaps. After providing the arguments against first two solutions, the author explains how to create the new conflict-of-law rules for existence, extent and effects of agent’s authority (including effects of excess of authority and acting without authority) in accordance with Art. 2 of SPILA.

This chapter presents Egyptian perspectives on the Hague Principles. The Egyptian private international law rules for international commercial contracts are found mainly in the Egyptian Civil Code no 131/1948 and the Egyptian Arbitration Code no 27/1994. Egyptian private international law, in general, accepts party autonomy as a private international law rule for determining the applicable law to international contracts. However, the Egyptian legislature has decided to exclude certain contracts, such as contracts for the transfer of technology and commercial agency, from the private international law rule in respect of party autonomy. To date, the Egyptian government has not expressed any plans to revise Egyptian private international law, despite some Egyptian scholars believing that the Egyptian conflicts rules are outdated and in desperate need of being replaced with more modern rules in this regard. Nonetheless, Article 24 of the Egyptian Civil Code allows the Egyptian Courts to resort to ‘[t]he principles of private international law [which] apply in the case of conflict of laws for which no provision is made in the preceding articles’. In principle, the courts are therefore allowed to refer to the Hague Principles to supplement either Article 19 of the Egyptian Civil Code or Article 39 of the Egyptian Arbitration Code.
