The private enforcement of competition law through damages actions and/or injunctions before ordinary courts of justice is currently the preferred system in the United States. It is playing an increasingly important role in Europe by supplementing a still predominantly public system based on disciplinary rules enforced by public authorities that do not entail compensation for victims. Compensation can only be achieved through private enforcement, which is already viewed as an alternative to the public system. This work, whose origins lie in the International Conference on the private enforcement of Competition Law held at the University of Valladolid's School of Law offers a comprehensive, p...
With cross-border successions becoming increasingly common in the context of the European Union, this timely book offers a systematic practical analysis of how cross-border successions should be treated, including examination of which courts may establish jurisdiction over succession disputes and which law governs such disputes. Studying cross-border successions in the context of estate planning and in the opening and liquidation of a succession, it examines the specificities of the European Certificate of Succession, contextualising it within its interface with the national laws and practice of EU Member States.
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods provides an examination of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Extensively referenced, this volume focuses on three fundamental issues, which, due to added attention from courts and arbitral tribunals, are considered “typical” of CISG related disputes. These include the exact determination of the CISG’s sphere of application; issues relating to the non-conformity of delivered goods; and the determination of the rate of interest on sums in arrears. This analysis will also help readers understand the broader context in which these issues are embedded, and ultimately illustrates how the CISG is interpreted and applied in different jurisdictions. A special course adoption price is available for an order of six or more copies from a university bookstore. Contact cs@brillusa.com or sales@brill.com.

In light of some calls for radical changes to its very foundations, this timely book investigates the ability of PIL to handle contemporary and international problems, and inspires genuine debate on the future of the field.
The European Succession Regulation is a landmark in the field of EU private international law. It unifies the conflicts of laws, jurisdiction and recognition of foreign judgments and some other legal instruments in the field of succession and wills. This volume provides an article-by-article commentary on the individual provisions of the Regulation, introduced by an overview of its general framework and underlying principles. As a reference tool for the Regulation, this book is intended to promote a high standard of interpretation and application. With contributions from leading scholars in the field, it uses a comparative approach in its analysis to enrich the academic debate and highlight the problems likely to arise in the practical application of the Regulation.
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) came into force in 1980 and has been ratified and adopted by over 50 of the world's major trading nations. This landmark Convention has set the tone for the harmonization of international law and by its widespread acceptance spurred progress in the harmonization of laws in other areas. Scholars and practitioners from around the world have written extensively on the development and impact of the CISG while courts and arbitral tribunals have issued opinions and judgements based on articles of the Convention. Because of this growing body of information, a need arose for a reference work that would provide easy...
Têm sido adotados Regulamentos da União Europeia sobre os conflitos de leis relativos a matérias específicas, tais como obrigações contratuais e extracontratuais, divórcio, sucessões e efeitos patrimoniais dos casamentos e das parcerias registadas. Nestes Regulamentos estão consagradas normas que versam sobre a concreta matéria jurídica aí tratada e outras sobre questões gerais relevantes para a sua aplicação, como por exemplo as relativas ao reenvio ou à ordem pública internacional. Outras matérias, como a qualificação ou o estatuto do Direito estrangeiro, não encontram regulação expressa nesses instrumentos, embora sejam determinantes para a sua aplicação. É sobre estas questões, da parte geral do Direito de Conflitos da União Europeia, que esta monografia trata.
O objecto desta investigação centra-se no plano da responsabilidade civil, que envolva relações privadas internacionais. O regime da responsabilidade extracontratual em Direito Internacional Privado cedo despertou a curiosidade da doutrina. Pretendeu-se com este estudo lançar uma nova reflexão sobre um tema tradicional. A vida social contemporânea é potenciadora de situações de responsabilidade extracontratual que estão relacionadas com mais do que uma ordem jurídica. Estas resultam das características da vida moderna: da globalização, da grande mobilidade dos indivíduos, da evolução técnica, da facilidade de circulação de informações e do capital. No processo de cria...
