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.

The interests of children are of paramount importance, therefore it is sometimes necessary for the authorities to interfere in matters relating to their custody, when a child is likely to have been wrongfully removed or retained in breach of the rights of custody attributed to a person, an institution or any other body (child abduction). Therefore a number of international and European Union legal acts impose on national legislators the obligation to introduce mechanisms involving central authorities into cooperation with each other and promoting cooperation amongst the competent authorities in their respective states to make proper discoveries to secure the prompt return of children. For this purpose, the Law of 26 January 2018 on the exercise of certain acts of the central authority in family matters relating to legal transactions under European Union law and international agreements was adopted. Pursuant to its provisions, Police offi cers shall, by virtue of their specifi c powers, assist the central authority and the courts on matters relating to the abduction of minors abroad. Their role is mainly linked to providing the authorities with relevant information, assisting the probation offi cer, and searching the place where the minor is presumed to be living.

This article is about the theoretical and practical aspects of conflict of law regulation of marital property relations under the Law of Ukraine “On Private International Law”. Inter alia, the paper deals with the possibility of the choice of law applicable to prenuptial contracts and marital property relations as well as the conflict of law rules applicable to property consequences of marriage in the event of absence of the choice of law. The author analyses the limitations to applying the principle of autonomy of will in marital property relations, the correlation between legal concepts of “marital property relations” and “legal consequences of marriage” and the possible forms of performing lex voluntatis. With a view to protecting the interests of the child and the weaker party in a marriage, the author proposes amendments to para 1 of Art. 61 of the Law, pursuant to which the law chosen by the parties must not impair the standing of the child or one of the spouses as compared to the law to be applied to property consequences of marriage in the event of absence of a choice of law. The paper also focuses on the overview of relevant Ukrainian court practice regarding the application of the Law during proceedings on marital property relations with a foreign element.

Resumo: As relações de trabalho, da mesma forma como relações privadas em geral, têm assumido caráter internacional. O crescente fenômeno acarreta, contudo, o incremento de vulnerabilidade do trabalhador. Em nível internacional, esse desafio aumenta, especialmente porque as normas conflituais clássicas foram construídas a partir da sociedade liberal moderna, que buscava basicamente a manutenção da igualdade formal entre os indivíduos, sem preocupações de cunho material. Embora as soluções tradicionais ainda estejam presentes no Direito Internacional Privado Brasileiro, um precedente recente do Tribunal Superior do Trabalho alterou essa realidade. Assim, este trabalho tenciona analisar os efeitos dessa decisão do TST na evolução do Direito Internacional Privado Brasileiro. Na primeira parte do trabalho será analisada a insuficiência do método clássico na proteção do empregado. A principal manifestação desse método está no elemento de conexão da lei do local da execução do contrato de trabalho, ou lex loci laboris. A segunda parte avalia a solução adotada pela jurisprudência do TST, ao cancelar a Súmula nº 207 e consagrar o elemento de conexão da lei mais favorável ao empregado ou favor empregado como o principal para as relações de trabalho internacionais. Em conclusão, aborda-se o significado desse entendimento do TST para evolução do Direito Internacional Privado Brasileiro. Palavras-chaves: Direito Internacional Privado; Direito Internacional do Trabalho; Conflitos de Lei no Espaço; Elementos de Conexão; Lei Mais Favorável ao Empregado. Abstract: Labor relations, in the same way as private relations in general, have assumed an international character. The growing phenomenon entails, however, the increased vulnerability of the worker. On an international level, this challenge increases, especially because the Classic Conflict of Law Rules were built based on modern liberal society, whose basic aim was to maintain the formal equality between individuals, without any material concerns. Although traditional solutions are still present in Brazilian private international law, recent Supreme Labor Court precedent has changed this reality. Therefore, this paper intends to analyze the effects of this Supreme Labor Court decision in the Brazilian Private International Law. In the first part of this paper will be analyzed the insufficiency of the classical method in the employee protection. The main expression of this method lies in the connecting element of the law of the place of the labor contract, or lex loci laboris. The second part evaluates the solution adopted by the case law of the TST to cancel precedent nº. 207 and consecrate the connecting element of the law most favorable to the employee, or employee favor, as the main connecting element for international labor relations. Concluding, the meaning of this understanding of the Supreme Labor Court decision for the evolution of Brazilian Private International Law is discussed. Keywords: Private International Law; International Labor Law; Conflict of Law Rules; Connecting Elements; Law Most Favorable to the Employee.

This chapter studies Ukrainian perspectives on the Hague Principles. Ukrainian private international law act, or formally the ‘Law of Ukraine “On Private International Law” ’ (PIL), was adopted on June 23, 2005. As per the Preamble to the PIL, it applies to ‘private [legal] relationships which are connected to one or more legal orders other than the Ukrainian legal order’. According to Article 2 of the PIL, it applies to matters of choice of law, procedural standing of foreign citizens, stateless persons and foreign legal entities, jurisdiction of Ukrainian courts in cases involving foreign parties, execution of letters rogatory, and recognition and enforcement of foreign court judgements in Ukraine. The Ukrainian private international law and specifically the PIL were influenced by the 1980 Rome Convention on the Law Applicable to Contractual Obligations. Although, considering the relative novelty of the Hague Principles, the authority of the courts to refer to the Hague Principles has not been addressed by the higher Ukrainian courts, the courts have frequently referred to the international codifications of contract law such as the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts.

The year 2009 was an important year in the development of unified private international law in the European Union. At the beginning of the year, Regulation (EC) No. 864/2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (Rome II)  entered into force. And at the end of the year Regulation (EC) 593/2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations (Rome I) followed suit. Hence, within one year significant parts of the private international law relevant to international business transactions have been unified within most of the Member States of the European Union. Further segments are to follow up on these developments.

Abstract This article consists of a comparative study of the basic principles underlying the rules of jurisdiction in private international law in commercial cases in the law of the European Union, the United States and England. It considers the objectives which these rules seek to achieve (protection of the rights of the parties and respect for the interests of foreign States) and the extent to which these objectives are attained. It takes tort claims, especially in the field of products-liability, as an example and considers which system has the most exorbitant rules. It suggests explanations for the differences found.
