Normally, forced heirship is primarily associated with a restraint of the decedent's testamentary freedom of disposition. Nevertheless, to effectively protect the forced heirs, forced heirship systems usually also contain various mechanisms to restrain the decedent's lifetime freedom of disposition. Scholars and courts have been debating the proper characterization of these mechanisms in conflicts of laws for decades. Raphael de Barros Fritz addresses the many open questions surrounding this issue by analysing the characterization of forced heirship mechanisms in the laws of Louisiana and Germany.
The Yearbook of Private International Law series, an annual publication now published by Sellier. European Law Publishers in cooperation with the Swiss Institute of Comparative Law, provides analysis and information on private international law (PIL) developments world-wide. This sixth volume looks rather "Euro-centric", due to the impressive and continuous rhythm at which the creation of a European system of PIL is progressing at the European Community level. Contributions include discussion of the proposal for a Rome II regulation on conflict of laws in torts, as well as an analysis of the Avello decision, which could create a new framework for the development of PIL in Europe. Additional articles focus on the national conflict systems of some European states. An important comparative study discusses the treatment of foreign tax laws and judgments in four major European countriesâ??United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Italy. The actual and controversial issue of registered partnership is discussed from the perspective of Spanish law. Additionally, an English translation of the latest national PIL codificationâ??the recent Belgian Codeâ??is included.

A integração económica mundial e as acrescidas exigências dela decorrentes no tocante ao regime jurídico da circulação de pessoas, bens, serviços e capitais através das fronteiras, bem como o advento da denominada sociedade da informação, trouxeram ao Direito Internacional Privado novos e complexos desafios. A eles tem esta disciplina procurado corresponder não só mediante a crescente unificação internacional das regras relativas à cooperação judiciária transfronteiras, aos conflitos de leis no espaço e aos meios de resolução extrajudicial de litígios, mas também através de um esforço de ajustamento dessas regras, designadamente, às novas necessidades do comércio internacional, da reparação de danos relacionados com a utilização de redes de comunicação eletrónicas e da regulação da vida familiar dos migrantes. Coligem-se no presente volume cerca de duas dezenas de estudos e comunicações feitas pelo autor ao longo dos últimos seis anos, nos quais se analisam criticamente estes desenvolvimentos.
