The article confronts the unilateral and multilateral methods in private international law. The author first identifies the basic differences between the two. She then moves to describe the instruments and concepts resulting from the unilateral method: the theories of the Statutists in the period between 12th to 19th centuries, the solutions offered by the so called new American school, the method of recognition of private situations crystallized in a foreign legal system,  the rules governing the spatial scope of the EU provisions, including the regulations and the directives, and finally the paradigm of the overriding mandatory rules. The second part of the paper provides a comment to the Nikiforidis case. The author makes a number of critical remarks with respect to the restrictive and rigid interpretation of Article 9(3) adopted by the CJEU. The argument is made that the more flexible and functional approach proposed by the Attorney General Maciej Szpunar in his Opinion should be preferred. Finally, the author makes her own proposition regarding the Nikiforidis case. She advocates a unilateral methodology that rejects the distinction between the overriding mandatory rules of the legis fori, legis causae and these of a third country.

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.

 Abstract: In a private international law context reflecting significant divergences between the ob­jective choice-of-law rules for matrimonial property regimes, the principle of party autonomy appears as a salutary solution, bringing certainty, predictability and simplicity, while satisfying also the spouses’ substantial interests. The study focuses on the rules devoted to this principle by the European legislator in the (EU) Regulation no 2016/1103, attempting to outline its regime and insisting, particularly, on its admissibility and on the limitations that accompany its practical exercise. Providing a sufficient fra­mework for discussion and helping to illustrate the implications of the European text, the rules of the Romanian Civil Code and of the 1978 Hague Convention on the law applicable to matrimonial property regimes will serve as a benchmark.Keywords: matrimonial property regimes, EU Regulation no 2016/1103, autonomy of will, electio juris agreements, states with more than one legal system, change of the applicable law.Resumen: En un contexto de derecho internacional privado que refleja divergencias significativas entre las reglas objetivas de elección de los regímenes matrimoniales, el principio de autonomía de las partes aparece como una solución saludable, aportando certeza, previsibilidad y simplicidad, al tiempo que satisface también los intereses sustanciales de los cónyuges. El estudio se centra en las normas dedicadas a este principio por el legislador europeo en el Reglamento (UE) n. ° 2016/1103, que intenta delinear su régimen e insistir, en particular, en su admisibilidad y en las limitaciones que acompañan a su ejercicio práctico. Proporcionar un marco suficiente para el debate y ayudar a ilustrar las implicaciones del texto europeo, las normas del Código Civil rumano y del Convenio de La Haya de 1978 sobre la ley aplicable a los regímenes matrimoniales de propiedad servirán como punto de referencia.Palabras clave: regímenes económicos matrimoniales, Reglamento (UE) no 2016/1103, auto­nomía de la voluntad, acuerdo de elección de la ley aplicable, estados con diversos regímenes jurídicos, cambio de la ley aplicable.

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.

The article deals with international law aspects of the GCL. To this aim firstly the international conventions on copyright law are analyzed, in particular: the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works in the wording of the Paris Act of 1971, the Convention on the Establishment of the World Intellectual Property Organization of 1967, the Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organizations of 1961 and Aspects of intellectual property rights (TRIPS) 1994. There is also an analysis of the EU copyright law in terms of its correlation with the law of the EU member-states and an assessment of its evolution. It is emphasized that the core fact of origin of authorship is determined on the basis of the national legislation of the Member-States. Special attention is paid to the scope of the “principle of exhausted rights”. The article also touches upon the aspect of private international law. Particular attention is paid to the legal regulation of the Internet, including Internet providers, and its impact on the formation of the GCL. The problem of combating Internet piracy is also raised, as copyright infringement often occurs in relation to works published online. In addition, the article revealed what changes were made to the GCL to comply with EU law (including secondary law acts and the practice of the EU Court). The result of the study is, among other things, the conclusion that special legal mechanisms should be developed to regulate new forms of selling works that have emerged as a result of technological progress and in the near future the Internet will undoubtedly form ways for the further development of the GCL. However, this process can negatively affect the leading role of the author as a creative person.

In May 2018, at the 4th and final meeting of the Special Commission of the Hague Conference on Private International Law, the draft Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters that had been developed since 1992 was represented. It is expected that after the Diplomatic Session that will be held in the mid-2019 the draft will be finalized and the Convention will be adopted and opened for signature.In this regard, the article attempts to analyze the main provisions of the draft Convention and assess the appropriateness for the Russian Federation to access it, taking into account the fact that Russia has a limited number of international treaties permitting recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in Russia and decisions of Russian courts abroad. Based on the results of the analysis, the author concludes that the adoption of this Convention will provide for a simple and effective basis for the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments eligible for States with different legal, social and economic circumstances. This, in turn, will increase the practical value of court decisions ensuring the most comprehensive protection of the rights and interests of the party in whose favour the decision has been made and, as a consequence, will contribute to the attractiveness of this method of dispute resolution for parties involved in cross-border private law relations.However, the mixed attitudes of the EU and the USA to the Draft Convention raises the question of their accession to the future Convention and may significantly reduce the impact of the adoption of the document under consideration.
