The year 2009 marks a revolution in
European conflict of laws. The so-called
Rome I and II Regulations, both
entering into force this year, will bind the
Member States of the European
Union to a common set of rules for the choice of
law in international private
law disputes. They apply to both contractual and
non-contractual disputes,
their reach even extends to the application of
non-Member State law. This
poses great challenges to Courts and practitioners
in every EU Member State,
as there is only little case-law and doctrinal
literature on the new rules,
the uniform application of which will be overseen
by the European Court of
Justice. The Commentary answers to these challenges.
It is an indispensable
companion for both academics and legal professionals
seeking their way
through the Regulations. Renowned conflict of laws scholars
comment every
provision of the Regulations in a systematic, thorough and
comprehensive
manner, making them accessible to a broad international
legal
audience.
Mirroring the German tradition of scholarly commentaries
on Parliamentary
Acts, the authors are selected from the distinguished group
of relatively
young German private international law scholars, whose
exceptionally high
qualifications are represented by their passing through
the German
“Habilitation“-system (second book requirement) as well as their
proven
ability to publish in the English language .
