The proposed new EU conflict-of-law rules on the assignment of claims: a seminar in Ferrara
As noted by Marta Requejo in an earlier post, the European Commission has published on 12 March 2018 a proposal for a regulation on the law applicable to the third-party effects of assignments of claims.
On 4 April 2018, a seminar (in English) will take place at the Department of Law of the University of Ferrara under the title Voluntary Assignment and Contractual Subrogation under EU Private International Law. The Commission proposal will, of course, be one of the key topics of the seminar.
Speakers include Martin Gebauer (University of Tübingen), Antonio Leandro (University of Bari), Alina Ontanu (Erasmus University Rotterdam) and Riccardo Manfrini (lawyer in Treviso). The seminar will be moderated by Alberto Malatesta (LIUC University Castellanza).

The main rule under the proposal is that third party effects of assignments of claims are to be governed by the law of the habitual residence of the assignor, with a few defined exceptions.
