Available now: Full recording of the University of Bonn/HCCH Pre-Conference Video Roundtable on The HCCH 2019 Judgments Convention: Prospects for Judicial Cooperation in Civil and Commercial Matters between the EU and Third Countries

On 29 October 2o20, the University of Bonn and the HCCH co-hosted a video roundtable on the HCCH 2019 Judgments Convention.This video roundtable explored the prospects of the Convention from a particular perspective, and this was the perspective of the relations between the EU and third states: neighbouring states, trade partners in particular, but also other states. The organisors were very happy to have received a large number of registrations from all over the world and from all areas of interest. The event was also meant to prepare the “main conference” of the organisors on the Convention, which is planned to be taking place at the University of Bonn on site on 13 and 14 September 2021. The recording of the pre-conference video roundtable is now available on the HCCH’s youtube channel as well as here.

Out now: Guinchard (ed.), Rome I and Rome II in Practice

Rome I and Rome II in Practice

This book is devoted to the applicable law to contractual and non-contractual obligations in the European Union as applied before the Courts. It should be a valuable resource for practitioners, the judiciary, and academics who are interested in understanding how EU law is applied on national level. The Rome I and II Regulations are meant to provide for uniform conflict-of-laws rules. In theory, all national courts of EU Member States (excluding Denmark) apply the same rules determining the applicable law. Rome I and Rome II in Practice examines whether the theory has been put into practice and assesses the difficulties that may have arisen in the interpretation and application of these Regulations. The book contains a general report by the editor and a number of national reports.
