Abstract This article presents an analysis of contractual relations in sport from the standpoint of the Croatian legislative system. Due to the complexity of the subject matter, the author considers only a small fragment of it - the significance and the role of sport in Croatian society and the law of contracts „as a cornerstone on which „sports law“ has been built and which is of primary importance in most areas where there is an interface between sport and the law, irrespective of whether the sport is being played at an elite level or at a more humble one“. Bearing in mind the limited extent of this article, the autor tries to provide some clarifications and some guidance on how to deal with the designation and the determination of the applicable law for contracts in the sporting context. Considering that there are different legal regimes which may come into play with regard to the designation of the law applicable to contracts in the sporting context, the author first presents the determination of the applicable law according to the Rome I Regulation and then according to the Croatian Arbitration Act, Swiss Private International Law Act and the CAS Code of Sports-related Arbitration, as the most common in sports practice. Then, the author deals with contracts concluded with minor athletes and the determination of the law applicable to some preliminary questions. Finally, the author presents her perception of the problems encountered and some suggestions for the improvement of the existing legal framework.

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.

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'.

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.

The article covers the analysis of conflict-of-law regulation of obligations, arising out of dealings prior to contract conclusion in European law. Such regulation is described in article 12 of the Regulation (EC) No. 864/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 July 2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (Rome II). The author considers conflict-of-law regulation of precontractual relations from the perspective of the following aspects: possibility of applying the agreement about the law applicable to precontractual relations; applying the contractual connecting factor for determining the law applicable to precontractual relations; exploration of other connecting factors applicable to the precontractual relations in case of impossibility to determine the applicable law on the basis of the contractual connecting factor. The author draws the conclusion that the opportunity given to the negotiating parties to choose the applicable law is in line with the tendency of private international law development towards the extension of the parties’ autonomy. In the absence of such choice, Rome II Regulation contains a special conflict-oflaw regulation, which accommodates parties’ interests.

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.

Generally, under choice of law, the issue of uncertainty associated with the determination of the governing law of international contracts is quite clear. The level of this uncertainty, however, increases when dealing with questions about which law governs the validity of such contracts. Like other areas of private international law, matters concerning validity present several unique challenges both in theory and in practice, making it the most complicated topic in private international law literature. In fact, the uncertainty in this area has led to a situation where different rules are applied by different states, without taking into consideration the link that should exist between the state whose law becomes applicable and the function that the law is expected to serve – determining the validity of a contract. This article attempts to contribute to existing literature on choice of law questions regarding the validity of international contracts and also provides solutions, based on the underlying principles of private international law of contract that effectively address the uncertainty in this area of law. The article submits that the law that governs the validity of an international contract must, at all times, be one that has a legitimate interest in matters concerning the legality or otherwise of such contracts. In this regard, the article strongly opposes the theory that the parties’ intention determines the law that governs the validity of their contract. After a careful examination of literature and landmark judicial decisions in both civil law and common law jurisdictions, the article concludes that the lex loci solutionis is the appropriate law to determine matters relating to the validity of international contracts.
