Out Now: Calliess & Renner, Rome Regulations: Commentary (4th Edition)

Kluwer Law International has just released the fourth edition of Rome Regulations: Commentary, edited by Gralf-Peter Calliess and Moritz Renner, offering an article-by-article “German-style” analysis of the Rome I, II, and III Regulations. This landmark work has long been recognized as a leading authority on EU conflict-of-laws rules, and the new edition brings the commentary fully up to date.

The updated volume incorporates developments since 2020, most notably landmark CJEU rulings that have advanced a common European understanding of the Regulations’ key provisions. It also addresses the post-Brexit landscape of EU-UK relations in private international law, and, reflecting a growing practical concern, the increasing intersection of economic sanctions regimes with overriding mandatory provisions.
