European Commentaries on Private International Law
-
Edited by:
A new series of European Commentaries on Private International Law will comment on the Brussels I Regulation and the Brussels II Regulation and as soon as they are enacted on the Rome I and the Rome II Regulation. A separate volume on each Regulation will be prepared.
For the first time this will be done by a team of leading experts from almost all EU member states. The close cooperation among them will initiate a new specific European style of commenting on European enactments merging the various and thus far nationwide differing methods of Interpretation of legislative acts. The fact that experts from all member states are participating gives the commentaries their specific authoritative and unique weight.
It goes without saying that the new commentaries will pay particular tribute to the practice of the European Court of Justice but to relevant judgments of national courts as well. Moreover, the needs of practitioners and the requirements of the practice will receive particular attention.
The series of European Commentaries is intended to be continued by further volumes on existing and future European enactments in the field of private and procedural law.
