Lawyers have to adapt their reasoning to the increasingly global nature of the situations they deal with. Often, rules formulated in a national, international or European environment must all be jointly applied to a given case. This book maps the analysis lawyers require when confronted by the operation of several laws in different contexts, and demonstrates how this enhances legal reasoning.
Offering a comprehensive commentary on the Brussels I bis Regulation, chapters outline the origins and evolution of each article before delving into their interpretation in view of the case law of the European Court of Justice. Its exhaustive evaluation of the corresponding case law demonstrates key precedents which can be applied to practical problems in the field related to jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement of decisions.
A determinação do regime jurídico aplicável aos casais internacionais e ao seu património é particularmente difícil. Qual é o seu regime de bens: o determinado pela lei da sua residência actual ou das suas residências anteriores? Ou será o da sua nacionalidade comum ou da nacionalidade de cada um dos cônjuges? Ou antes o(s) previsto(s) no local ou locais da situação dos bens? Ou do local onde celebraram o seu casamento? E poderão, uma vez que mudaram de residência ou de nacionalidade, alterá-lo? Em 29 de Janeiro de 2019, entrou em vigor em Portugal o Regulamento (UE) 2016/1103, do Conselho, de 24 de Junho de 2016, que implementou a cooperação reforçada no domínio da lei aplicável, da competência, do reconhecimento e da execução de decisões em matéria de regimes matrimoniais. Neste trabalho reflectimos sobre o impacto da aplicação do novo regulamento europeu na vida patrimonial das famílias internacionais.

The book is the result of a recent but intensive cooperation between the faculties of law of the universities of Ljubljana and Johannesburg. As is often the case in life, the starting point of this project was a friendship. A friendship between two law professors who, at the same point in time, became deans of their respective law schools – Prof Letlhokwa Mpedi (now Deputy Vice-Chancellor: Academic (UJ) in Johannesburg and Prof Grega Strban in Ljubljana.) They decided to connect their institutions in a formal way by establishing a cooperation that would outlive their mandates as deans and provide a professional platform for legal scholars of both universities to get first-hand insight into...
