Resumen: El presente trabajo expone las relaciones entre la cuestión de la ley aplicable al régimen económico matrimonial en los casos de Derecho transitorio que han sido puestos de relieve por la jurisprudencia española y en particular por la SAP Barcelona 30 julio 2019. El estudio aborda la eliminación legislativa y jurisprudencia del punto de conexión discriminatorio “nacionalidad del marido”. También se explica la relación entre la teoría de la Drittwirkung y las normas de conflicto de leyes. Se distingue entre los matrimonios celebrados antes del día 29 de diciembre de 1978, los celebrados entre el día 29 de diciembre de 1978 y el día 7 de noviembre de 1990 y los que se llevan a cabo posteriormente. Finalmente, se exponen las razones por las que se aprecia una imparable emergencia de la residencia habitual común inmediatamente posterior a la celebración del matrimonio como punto de conexión para fijar la Ley reguladora del régimen económico matrimonial.Palabras clave: Iey aplicable al régimen económico matrimonial, nacionalidad del marido, Drittwirkung, Derecho transitorio, residencia habitual. Abstract: The present work deals with the law applicable to the matrimonial property regimes and transitional rules. The judgement rendered by the court of appeal of Barcelona on July 30th 2019 in examined. The husband’s nationality as a connecting factor is also studied and proves to be discriminatory and non compatible with the Spanish Constitution. In this scenario, the theory of Drittwirkung shows that the Spanish conflict rules are obviously subject to the Spanish Constitution. A distinction is made between marriages concluded before December 29, 1978, those celebrated between December 29, 1978 and November 7, 1990, and those carried out subsequently is made. Finally, this work analyses the reasons for an unstoppable rise of the common habitual residence after the marriage as a connecting factor to determine the Law applicable to matrimonial property regimes. Keywords: law applicable to the matrimonial property regimes, nationality of the husband’s nationality, Drittwirkung, transitional rules of law, habitual residence.

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.

Court Of Appeal

AT common law, in cases where the substantive claim is governed by foreign law, questions of procedure are nonetheless governed by the lex fori. In the context of damages, although the existence of damage is a question for the lex causae, its quantification and assessment is determined according to the law of the forum (Boys v Chaplin [1971] A.C. 356). The distinction between substance and procedure is preserved by Article 1(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 864/2007 (“Rome II”) which provides, with certain exceptions, that Rome II “shall not apply to evidence and procedure”. That rule is, however, qualified by Article 15, which requires the law applicable under the Regulation (i.e. “the law applicable to non-contractual obligations”) to govern, inter alia, “the existence, the nature and the assessment of damage or the remedy claimed” (Article 15(c)). The decision of the Court of Appeal in Wall v Mutuelle De Poitiers Assurances [2014] EWCA Civ 138; [2014] 3 All E.R. 340 concerns the definition of “procedure” in Article 1(3) and the meaning of “applicable law” in Article 15(c). It raises the important question of how far Rome II has encroached on the traditional view of national procedural autonomy in the conflict of laws.

The proposition that a master, who has become liable for an injury caused by a servant acting in the course of his employment, can recover an indemnity from the servant is one which has been stated on a number of occasions, but until the recent case of Romford Ice & Cold Storage Co. v. Lister no clear authority could be cited in support. It is true that the master's rights against his servant have been canvassed in at least three modern cases, but in all of them the common law position has been obscured by the application of the Law Reform (Married Women and Tortfeasors) Act, 1935. In Romford Ice & Cold Storage Co. v. Lister, however, by what those interested in legal principle can only regard as a happy chance, it was necessary for the Court of Appeal to deal with the matter independently of the Act.

Discretion and Security: Excluding Evidence under Section 78(1) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984

The Way

Among rules of law Karl Llewellyn noted at one extreme the “rule-of-thumb, in which the flat result is articulated, leaving behind and unexpressed all indication of its reason”. At the other extreme was “the way of principle, in which the reason is clearly and effectively articulated, and that articulation is made part of the very rule”. The vice of principle, he observed, “can be a vaporish vagueness, and the techniques of its effective formulation are not easy to isolate for communication and use”. Partly for this reason, partly perhaps because of its origin in a last-minute political compromise, section 78(1) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 at first confounded attempts to predict the manner of its application. One commentary suggested that it was “of no practical use”; there were dicta in the Court of Appeal to the effect that it did “no more than to re-state the power which judges had at common law before the Act of 1984 was passed”. A leading work on the law of evidence expressed the view that the sub-section was “cast in terms of such vagueness and generality as to furnish little guidance to the court”. There has been some development since those early days. It now seems clear that the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 is to be regarded as a codifying Act which has to be looked at on its own wording. Section 78(1), therefore, does not merely re-state the position at common law. It is also clear that in its operation it overlaps section 76 and, through section 82(3), some of the common law. Section 78(1) may be applied in a variety of situations, with or without the presence of some element of impropriety in the way in which the evidence was obtained. Basic questions about its operation nevertheless remain.

The past twenty years of South Africa’s constitutional democracy have been challenging for the courts. However, the courts have managed to develop the common-law principle of vicarious liability in conformity with the spirit, purport and objects of the Constitution. What is concerning, though, is that the courts are still grappling with the application of the law of vicarious liability, despite this area of the law having been developed by the Constitutional Court. A case in point is Minister of Safety and Security v Morudu 2016 (1) SACR 68 (SCA), where the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) incorrectly rejected the decision of the High Court that the state was vicariously liable. This article argues that the SCA should have upheld the decision of the High Court on the basis of the factors that point to a close connection between the conduct of the policeman and his employment. The factors include that the actions of the policeman violated the rights of his victims and that the nature of his employment presented him with an opportunity to commit the crime. The failure of the SCA to consider these factors and uphold the decision of the High Court is therefore at odds with the Bill of Rights and contrary to the law of vicarious liability as developed by the Constitutional Court.

Part III of The Private International Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1995 entered into force on 1 May 19961. As from that date2, the choice of law rules for tort developed in the common law will be abolished, in respect of most causes of action in tort3, and will be replaced by statutory rules of a radically different character4. The new choice of law rules essentially provide that, as a general rule, the law applicable to a tort is the law of the country5 in which the events constituting the tort in question occur6. This general rule may be subject to displacement where, in the light of a comparison between the significance of the factors connecting the tort with the country whose law is applicable under the general rule, and the significance of the factors connecting the tort with another country, it appears substantially more appropriate for the applicable law to be the law of that other country7. The express abolition of the common law rules is (with one significant exception)8 effected by section 10 of the Act. That section provides: the rules of the common law, in so far as they—(a) require actionability under both the law of the forum and the law of another country for the purpose of determining whether a tort or delict is actionable; or(b) allow (as an exception from the rules falling within paragraph (a) above) for the law of a single country to be applied for the purpose of determining the issues, or any of the issues, arising in the case in question,are hereby abolished so far as they apply to any claim in tort or delict which is not excluded from the operation of this Part by section 13 below.

A novelty element which concerns even Romanian citizens is the enforcement of Regulation (EU) no 650/2012. Although the area of enforcement of the regulation should include all aspect of civil law regarding a deceased person’s patrimony, certain aspects were deliberately left out from the enforcement area of this regulation, as the questions governed by the law of companies or relating to matrimonial property regimes. To illustrate the effects of the death of an associate in a company, we will provide a short comparative presentation of the continuance of the collective society with the heirs of the deceased partner as regulated by Law no 31/1990 regarding Romanian companies as opposed to the French Civil Code. Also, our brief analysis of the Proposal for a Council regulation on jurisdiction, applicable law and the recognition and enforcement of decisions in matters of matrimonial property regimes, may shed some light on what is to come in matrimonial property regimes.

Litispendencia. Competencia judicial internacional. Responsabilidad parental. Residencia habitual del menor.Abstract: The determination of the proper international jurisdiction in proceedings related to parental responsibility is particularly relevant due to the final consequences that this determination has on minors, main addressees of the measures that the competent courts will adopt on them. If we add to this a situation of habitual residence in different Member States and an international lis pendens foreclosure, the complexity of the case increases. Fortunately, the common rules of the Brussels II bis Regulation set clear criteria for the resolution of conflicts of competence such as the one raised in the case under analysis.Keywords: “Brussels II bis” Regulation.

• Lord Bridge says that Kerr LJ (in the Court of Appeal) in finding for the seller had in fact misinterpreted what Lord Fraser had said about The Canada Steamship v R [1952] 1 All ER 303 in the Ailsa Craig case! This is an excellent paragraph for demonstrating the way in which judges argue about other cases, following, distinguishing, overruling or stating the precedent or a case erroneously. • Lord Bridge decides the common law point in favour of the sellers in agreement with Lord Denning in the Court of Appeal. • Lord Bridge turns to discuss the ‘statutory’ issue. We now begin to understand the reference to ‘the Act’ in issue (2) as set out by Lord Bridge at Appendix 1, p 310, para 2. • The modified s 55 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 is set out. • The Sale of Goods Act 1979 was a statute that was pure consolidation. (This means that it merely collected together the existing law and put it in one place.) • Modified s 55 preserves the law between 18 May 1973 (the date that the Supply of Goods (Implied Terms) Act came into force) and 1 February 1977 (the date that the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 came into force). • Section 55, sub-ss (1), (4), (5) and (9) are set out. Students need to study s 55 carefully to ensure that they understand what it is providing for and that they can follow the discussion of it by Lord Bridge. So, let us stop here for a moment… for a statutory diversion.
