Autonomy Of Will

The article is devoted to the analysis of legal regulation dealing with choice-of-law agreements by parties to international sale of goods contracts, namely in two documents of the Hague Conference on Private International Law: the Convention of 1955 on the Law Applicable to International Sales of Goods (in force) and the Convention of 1986 on the Law Applicable to Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (not yet in force). The Convention of 1955 sets a strict standard of autonomy of will (choice of a country’s domestic law; based only on the terms of the contract). Having a small number of participants and characterized by inconsistent law enforcement practice, this convention, nevertheless, is a valid legal instrument which Russian actors in the field of external trade should take into account when cooperating with nationals of member states. The Convention of 1986 establishes a substantively more liberal autonomy of will standard (change of the applicable law; demonstrated by the terms of the contract and the conduct of the parties in their entirety). However, many participants in the drafting procedure led to a wide range of views in regard to parties’ autonomy (including diametrically opposite ones). This resulted in a compromise nature of the solutions (and even the drafters’ direct refusal to address parties’ choice sensitive issues: choice of lex mercatoria, depecage) and, likely, an insufficient adoption for the Convention to enter into force. The Conventions’ basic principles (1955 — irrespective of having a few number of participants; 1986 — irrespective of not entering into force) have the potential for practical application in international commercial arbitration. In the case of parties’ autonomy, such an application would be limited to its recognition as far as the standard of the first is strict and somewhat outdated, whereas the standard of the second has been accepted in the framework of discord between states and avoids addressing sensitive issues in its implementation.

Autonomy Of Will

The article analyzes some theoretical and practical problems of the place of the institution of law evasion in private international law. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of evasion of law institute from the standpoint of its relation with the requirements for committing transaction, grounds and consequences of transaction invalidity. Various approaches to definition of the concept of evasion of law, its features and the role it plays in the mechanism of regulation of private legal relations complicated by a foreign element are considered. Despite sufficient scientific work on the study of law evasion, in particular as a type of abuse of law, in private international law, science, unfortunately, has not developed general approaches to the place and importance of law evasion in the system of grounds for non-application of foreign law. In the context of active development and dissemination of private law relations, which are the subject of private international law, it is important to analyze the legal institution of law evasion in relation to the categories of “autonomy of will” and “choice of law”. The relevance of the study, which was revealed in the article, due to the fact that in combination with freedom of movement, freedom of reason, contractual freedom and autonomy of will inherent in civil relations in general and regulated by private international law in particular, the requirement of mandatory and strict subordination of such relations uniform law (for example, citizenship or place of residence) looks like an anachronism nowadays. Thus, it is emphasized that the task of law evasion is to ensure the stability of private international law in the interaction of national legal systems, eliminating “disturbing” influences on the subsystem through agreements and other actions that reflect private interests to the detriment of the individual, society and state. The article provides for criticism of current definition of evasion of law, embodied in the Law of Ukraine «On Private International Law», from the standpoint of traditional concept of evasion of law and outlines suggestions for its improvement.

Substantive Law

This book opens a cross-regional dialogue and shifts the Eurocentric discussion on diversity and integration to a more inclusive engagement with South America in private international law issues. It promotes a contemporary vision of private international law as a discipline enabling legal interconnectivity, with the potential to transcend its disciplinary boundaries to further promote the reality of cross-border integration, with its focus on the ever-increasing cross-border mobility of individuals. Private international law embraces legal diversity and pluralism. Different legal traditions continue to meet, interact and integrate in different forms, at the national, regional and international levels. Different systems of substantive law couple with divergent systems of private international law (designed to accommodate the former in cross-border situations). This complex legal landscape impacts individuals and families in cross-border scenarios, and international commerce broadly conceived. Private international law methodologies and techniques offer means for the coordination of this constellation of legal orders and value systems in cross-border situations. Bringing together world-renowned academics and experienced private international lawyers from a wide range of jurisdictions in Europe and South America, this edited collection focuses on the connective capabilities of private international law in bridging and balancing legal diversity as a corollary for the development of integration. The book provides in-depth analysis of the role of private international law in dealing with legal diversity across a diverse range of topics and jurisdictions.
