Resumen: Durante el año 2018 los tribunales españoles tuvieron que pronunciarse en diferentes ocasiones sobre los efectos legales que en España pueda tener el matrimonio poligámico celebrado váli­damente en el extranjero. La institución de la poligamia es progresivamente una figura cada vez menos ajena a nuestro entorno jurídico, dada la reiteración con que se plantea ante nuestros órganos jurisdiccio­nales. Esta reincidencia es en gran medida responsable del progresivo cambio de la percepción judicial española ante esta figura: del rechazo absoluto y sin matices a la admisión de ciertas consecuencias jurídicas, en aras de una interpretación tuitiva de la poligamia. Así lo evidencia la sentencia que aquí se analiza, que reconoce el derecho a la pensión de viudedad de la una ciudadana española que había con­traído matrimonio poligámico en Marruecos con un nacional de dicho país. Con esta decisión, el TSJ de Andalucía ratifica y consolida su lúcida línea interpretativa en esta materia, desde hace años partidaria de aplicar la doctrina del orden público atenuado a una institución plagada de matices, que casan mal con apreciaciones radicales y simplistas.Palabras clave: orden público internacional, pensión de viudedad, poligamia, Derecho internacio­nal privado.Abstract: During the year 2018 the Spanish courts issued various judgments on the legal effects that in Spain may have the polygamous marriage legally celebrated abroad. The polygamous marriage is less and less unknown for the Spanish legal system, because is a matter frequently submitted to our courts. The reiteration of these demands has helped to change the judicial perception of this institution: from the absolute rejection to the admission of some legal effects, because of a protective interpretation of polygamy. The decision of the Higher Court of Andalusia of Mai 24, 2018 is an illustrative example of this, by the recognition of widow’s pension to a Spanish woman who got a polygamous marriage to a Moroccan national in Morocco. This sentence confirms and consolidates the lucid case law of Anda­lusian Court, traditionally in favour of attenuated public policy for an institution with many shades, not adequate for simplistic and radical interpretations.Keywords: public policy, widow’s pension, polygamy, private international law.

This chapter examines Moroccan perspectives on the Hague Principles. In Morocco, the sources of private international law applicable to international commercial contracts are both of a national and an international nature. International sources include mainly treaties and, to a lesser extent, international customs to which the Moroccan courts may refer in particular cases. National sources are statutory law, case law, and scholarly writings. Case law has always played a vital role in the development and the interpretation of the rules applicable to international commercial contracts. It is indeed the role of the courts to determine the scope of law chosen by the parties and to delimit the boundaries of international public policy as a limit to the application of the law chosen by the parties. Moroccan courts consider international customs as important sources in respect of international contracts and arbitration. Having frequently used the universally accepted principles of private international law, Moroccan courts could easily draw on the Hague Principles to find solutions to certain questions that have not been addressed by the legislature.

It is not always easy to decide when we must turn to English law. And once it has been determined that reference to English law is appropriate, there is the further question of the substance and application of principles drawn from English law. In such case, English law forms part of the local law, and need not be ascertained as required by the rules of private international law in respect of foreign law.This makes the local law directly dependent upon English case-law, which itself is constantly being renewed and developed. Such dependence may seem to impair the independence of the Israeli legal system. The question could not, of course, be raised during the Mandatory period at a time when there existed a possibility of appeal from the Mandatory Supreme Court to the Privy Council in Westminster. But after the establishment of the State Cheshin J. said:It is unthinkable that a sovereign nation with its own laws and its own legal system would continue to be subject to the authority of a foreign nation's legal system and to changes in rulings which are likely to be introduced in her courts, only because in the past, when there was a strong tie between the two nations, the former drew from the legal system of the latter.

Resumen: El año 2018 resultó especialmente pródigo en resoluciones judiciales en torno a la poligamia, concretamente sobre la cuestión de la pensión de viudedad de las múltiples esposas concu­rrentes en un matrimonio polígamo. Estas decisiones destacan por su lucidez y su coherencia a la hora de abordar una demanda no siempre bien entendida y resuelta por nuestros tribunales de justicia. La Sentencia de 14 de junio de 2018 dictada por el Tribunal de Justicia de Madrid, Sala de lo Contencioso Administrativo, es un ejemplo de ello. La resolución declara el derecho de segunda esposa de un soldado español de la Policía Territorial del Sáhara a percibir la pensión de viudedad generada por éste. Además de la correcta aplicación de la doctrina del orden público atenuado, esta sentencia tiene del mérito de consolidar la línea interpretativa seguida hasta la fecha por el Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Madrid, acogiendo la senda marcada por la STS de 24 de enero de 2018, que supone un giro jurisprudencial en el Alto Tribunal.Palabras clave: orden público internacional, Sáhara español, pensión de viudedad, poligamia, Derecho internacional privado.Abstract: In the course of 2018 several sentences about polygamy were made by the Spanish courts, with more specific regard to widow’s pension. These decisions are fully consistent with a de­mand not always understood and settled by ours courts. The decision of the Higher Court of Madrid of June 14, 2018 is a recent example of this. This sentence recognizes the right of the second wife of a Spanish soldier of the Territorial Police of the Sahara to receive the widow’s pension. The resolution correctly applies the attenuated public policy and consolidates the Higher Court’s previous case law in this matter, following a change in the case law of the Supreme Court’s decision of January, 24, 2018.Keywords: public policy, Spanish Sahara, widow’s pension, polygamy, private international law.

Resumen: En este trabajo vamos a explicar los tres problemas de aplicación que se encuentran contemplados en el Reglamento sucesorio europeo. De los tres, el orden público, la remisión a ordena­mientos plurilegislativos y el reenvío, este último es el que presenta una regulación más particular. En efecto, esta norma sucesoria se aparta de la línea general de excluir esta figura que siguen el resto de Reglamentos europeos de Derecho Internacional Privado. Además de lo anterior, el Reglamento no sólo admite el reenvío sino que, también, lo permite hasta de segundo grado.Palabras clave: orden público, ordenamientos plurilegislativos, reenvío, Reglamento sucesorio europeo.Abstract: In this paper we will explain the three application problems that are covered by the European Succession Regulation. Of the three, the public policy, the remission to States with more than one legal system and the renvoi, the latter is the one that presents a more particular regulation. In effect, the Regulation departs from the general line of excluding this figure, which is followed by the rest of the European Regulations on Private International Law. In addition, the Regulation not only allows it, but also allows it up to the second degree.Keywords: public policy, states with more than one legal system, renvoi, the EU succession Re­gulation

This article examines how the adoption of children under Hindu law in India is regarded by British private international law and immigration law. Through an analysis of case-law, it focuses particularly on how British judges regard the legitimacy of exclusion by the British immigration control system of children who have been adopted under a ‘foreign’ legal system which essentially permits private adoption arrangements. Examining the background to the regime of Indian Hindu law adoptions (which applies to Sikhs as well as Hindus), and the private international law and immigration rules which apply to such adoptees in the UK, the article finds some evidence in the judicial decisions of a more activist, human-rights-based, plurality-conscious position being taken. However, tracking the case-law further, the article concludes that such activism has not been followed through in more recent decisions leaving the conflictual position between transnational adopters and British legal systems largely unresolved.

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 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.

Resumen: El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la interacción entre la libre circulación de per-sonas y el Derecho internacional privado. Mediante esta dimensión se profundiza en la esencia de esta movilidad intra-UE, al tiempo que se calibra el alcance del status civitatis europeo. Este estudio se sus-tenta en una jurisprudencia reciente –si  bien consolidada– del TJUE en la que se garantiza no sólo el desplazamiento sino también el reconocimiento de situaciones privadas en el espacio europeo, y ello con independencia de la regulación material o conflictual del Estado miembro de acogida. En esta acción, la persona tanto física como jurídica trasciende su propio Derecho nacional y adquiere una auténtica dimensión “europea”.Palabras clave: libre circulación de personas, ciudadanía de la Unión, Derecho internacional pri-vado, estatuto personal.Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyse the interaction between the free movement of persons and private international law. This dimension deepens in the essence of this intra-EU mobility, at the same time as measuring the scope of the European status civitatis. This study is based on recent –yet already well defined– case law of the CJEU, guaranteeing not only the movement but also the mutual recognition of civil situations into the common European space, independent of substantive or conflict rules of the host member state. With this action, both natural and legal person go beyond their own na-tional law in order to acquire a truly “European” dimension.Keywords: free movement of persons, European citizenship, Private International Law, personal status.

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.
