Private international law. General legislation

This legislative compilation in English of European Regulations and a number of international Conventions regulating issues basic to the understanding of private international law is an essential aid for professors, students and lawyers teaching, learning and working in the field of private international law.

This Handbook has been compressed as much as possible to make it functional and practical. It condenses the most important legislation on private international law and focuses on the Brussels I bis Regulation, which regulates jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement of judgments; the Rome I and Rome II Regulations, which regulate the law applicable to contractual and non-contractual obligations, respectively; and presents the Regulations governing Marriage (international jurisdiction, applicable law and matrimonial property regimes), Child Protection, Maintenance and Succession. There is also a special section devoted to the Vienna Convention on the sale of goods and the Conventions governing the law applicable to traffic accidents and product liability.
