Private International Law

Le relazioni qui pubblicate e che fanno seguito a un "Incontro fiorentino" di alcuni dei più autorevoli studiosi del diritto riflettono su alcuni temi: la storia e il presente di alcuni valori e priorità del diritto privato europeo, il problema delle fonti e dell'identità dell'Unione europea per poi cercare di comprendere se la possibile influenza del diritto dell'UE debba essere oramai considerata per tutte le questioni giuridiche private e se è diventato quasi impossibile pensare al diritto privato senza considerare la misura in cui è stato europeizzato.

Few commentaries on EU private international law (PIL) in family and succession matters are currently available on the market and these are usually devoted to specific regulation(s), offering a full overview of both the CJEU case law and the literature concerning the given legal instrument(s). Unlike these commentaries, EU Private International Law in Family Matters: Legislation and CJEU Case Law collects all the relevant instruments in the field of EU private international law in family matters (the Brussels II-ter Regulation, the Brussels II-bis Regulation, the Maintenance Regulation, the Rome III Regulation, the Succession Regulation, the twin Regulations on property regimes and three international conventions: the 1980 Hague Convention on international child abduction, the 1996 Hague Convention on measures for the protection of children and the 2007 Hague Protocol on maintenance) and complements the legal texts with referencing all decisions issued by the CJEU on these Regulations (currently more than 70). Decisions are not published in their entirety, nor are they limited to the official operative part of the decision. Distinctively and importantly, each and all of the many passages and/or obiter dicta that are disseminated through the decisions have been considered, sorted out and reported in a concise and clear synopsis which has been inserted as a footnote to each relevant part of the applicable rule or Article. This makes the volume a user-friendly, yet complete and accurate, tool for both practitioners and academics who need to keep track of the overwhelming EU case law in cross-border family matters. This volume provides a brief yet complete guide to approach and understand the functioning of all EU PIL Regulations in family matters as interpreted by the CJEU, thus proving to be a useful tool for the audience of legal practitioners, lawyers, judges and academics to which it is targeted.

European Private International Family Law provides a comprehensive examination of the new Brussels IIb Regulation (Regulation 2019/1111). This regulation replaces the Brussels IIa Regulation, which has been the cornerstone of European private international family law since August 2004, and is applicable from 1 August 2022.In this volume, Michael Wilderspin provides a subject-by-subject, article by article commentary, which analyses in detail every provision of the new regulation. This analysis covers key topics including jurisdiction, the recognition and enforcement of decisions in matrimonial matters, matters of parental responsibility, and international child abduction. Michael Wilderspin also examines relevant cases from the European Courts of Justice and national courts, and the principles derived from them. Furthermore, this book explores the difficulties and complications that can arise between this regulation and other international instruments, such as the Hague Child Protection Convention 1996. The commentary also offers practical assistance on how properly to apply the new regulation and highlights where it has changed in relation to the previous one.

The advent of AI-systems has fundamentally altered the fabric of society as a whole and is set to change our daily lives as well as human and legal relationships between private parties. This book focuses on the non-contractual obligations which arise out of the development and use of AI-systems; both EU substantive and private international law (PIL) provisions on civil liability will be scrutinized. Particularly, the book aims identify a legal framework for AI-systems, characterized as product, following a de lege lata and de lege ferenda approach. The analysis wants to argue that private international law provisions can be an effective tool to achieve the results pursued by the corresponding substantive provisions, and that both substantive and PIL provisions should be ethically oriented and ensure the protection of fundamental rights. The concluding remarks envisages a new direction of European private international law provisions towards a more human-rights oriented approach.

Version remaniée d'une thèse, une étude des nouvelles réalités avec lesquelles le droit international privé doit composer en matière familiale. L'auteur montre que le respect des relations familiales constituées à l'étranger apparaît désormais comme une exigence de premier ordre, ce qui implique souvent la recherche de compromis et de points d'équilibre avec les Etats concernés.

Dieser Band befasst sich mit dem Verhaltnis von Dienstleistungsnormen und Privatrecht und arbeitet dabei insbesondere Unterschiede zur technischen Normung heraus. Einen Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung bildet die Frage, uber welche Rezeptionsmechanismen private Regelwerke wie Dienstleistungsnormen Rechtswirkungen entfalten konnen. Ferner wird untersucht, welchen Beitrag Dienstleistungsnormen zur europaischen Rechtsangleichung leisten konnen.
