This chapter analyses the practical application of the law of belligerent occupation in internationalized armed conflicts in its temporal, geographical, and personal dimensions. Firstly, from a temporal perspective, the law is shown to apply once one of the conflict parties consolidates its control over the enemy territory and substitutes its own authority for that of the displaced enemy. Secondly, the chapter assesses the geographical scope of the applicable law and draws specific guidelines for the determination of the territory subject to the law of occupation in various types of internationalized armed conflicts. Thirdly, the chapter endorses the allegiance-based approach to the designation of protected persons under the law of occupation and applies it to the reality of internationalized armed conflict. Overall, the chapter presents a workable toolkit for the application of the law of occupation to internationalized armed conflicts.

This article analyzes the choice-of-law interests of specific and potential participants in the relations of intellectual property rights and the state in order to establish the closest connection of the above type of relation with the state, whose law should be applied. Taking into account the directionality of significant choice-of-law interests, advantages and disadvantages of territorial and universal approaches, a theoretically based solution is proposed for the formation of a general choice-of-law rule on the law to be applied to the relation of intellectual property rights. It was revealed in the study that the diversity of the relations of intellectual property rights (their obligatory and non-obligatory, property and personal non-property nature, other differences in legal features) does not automatically generate a multidirectionality of significant choice-of-law interests that should be taken into account when establishing a close connection of the above type of the relation with the state for determination of applicable law, does not prevent the formation of a general choice-of-law rule for the relations of intellectual property rights in general and does not unequivocally testify in favor of the specialization of its binding. However, the diversity of the relations of intellectual property rights should be examined and evaluated for the feasibility and limits of exceptions from the general choice-of-law rule and the development of special rules for resolving certain private of the relations of intellectual property rights.

Investment Treaty Arbitration

Investment treaty arbitration, being an arbitral process, in no way differs from international commercial arbitration in that the principle of party autonomy is the primary rule governing the arbitration, including as regards the law applicable to the substance of the dispute. When the applicable law has been chosen by the parties, the arbitrators have a duty to apply such law and nothing but such law. It is only in the absence of a choice by the parties that the arbitrators are entitled to exercise a degree of discretion in the determination of the applicable law. This chapter examines each of these situations in turn, before considering whether the specific nature of investment protection treaties has implications in terms of choice of law process.

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.

Insolvency Proceedings

AbstractWith the development of the internal market, the need to establish rules ensuring the protection of creditors in insolvency proceedings with a cross-border effect is increasing. Mechanisms at national level are difficult to provide the desired protection for foreign creditors. Since 26.06.2017 EU has a new Regulation 848/2015 which repeals the current Regulation 1346/2000. Despite the radical changes, it is attempting to implement this legislative act, the main objective of insolvency proceedings remains unchanged, namely, to achieve fair satisfaction of creditors. One of the mechanisms for the realisation of this objective are avoidance actions with international element for filling the insolvency estate. In view of the specifics of the procedure, the standard civil law mechanisms such as the Actio Pauliana are not impossible but are extremely inadequate and difficult to prove. In the practice of the Member States, many issues arise concerning the determination of jurisdiction and applicable law, creation of preconditions for the abuse in searching the most favourable legal system (forum shopping), there are differences in the so-called ‘suspicious periods’ and transactions concluded with affiliates. On this basis a fundamental jurisprudence of the CJEU has been enacted, the achievement of which will be the subject of this paper.

The European Regulation no 650/2012 unified the determination of jurisdiction and applicable law in succession matters in the Member States of the European Union. At the same time, it underlined other issues that complicate decision making on cross-border succession in the Slovak Republic. One of the most striking is the resolution of the issue of settling the common property of spouses, which under Slovak procedural law, is exercised by a notary in succession proceedings. The Slovak Republic does not participate at the enhanced cooperation on cross-border matrimonial property regimes, so joining jurisdiction in these cases with succession proceedings is very complicated. The present article deals with this and some other issues which the fragmentation of EU private international law brings.

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.
