2020

Mediation and Private International Law: Improving Free Circulation of Mediation Agreements Across the EU
2016
This paper, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs upon request by the JURI Committee, examines the issues arising in the context of cross-border mediation. Cross-border litigation has increased steadily in recent years in Europe as a consequence of the consolidation of the European unification process. The enactment of Directive 2008/52/EC has certainly led to the presence of mediation legislation in the EU Member States. But many important differences can still be ascertained in relation to the legal framework developed, which affect key aspects of mediation. For mediation to obtain full endorsement by citizens in the fu…
The Application of Foreign Law by Judicial and Non-Judicial Authorities: Any News?
2020
The treatment of foreign law by judicial and non-judicial authorities constitutes “a crucial issue” for the proper functioning of any Private International Law (PIL) system. Nevertheless, and despite its relevance, international harmonization on this issue is scarce and old –usually, previous to 1980-, and it combines both a limited scope and little application. Thus, the nature granted to foreign law before national authorities, the way to ascertain its content or to consider when it has been sufficiently proved usually vary significantly among jurisdictions and negatively affect the potential application of foreign law. This situation is widespread. And it is even noticeable in a legally …
Spain: The Application of Foreign Laws in Spain – Critical Analysis of the Legal Novelties of 2015
2017
The Spanish system about treatment of foreign laws is regulated in different legal sources including the recent Act 29/2015 on International Legal Cooperation. The inconsistency between the mandatory nature of conflict of laws rules and the burden of parties of proving the foreign law makes the system unsatisfactory in the judicial scope whereas more flexible solutions -and consequently more satisfactory outcomes- can be evidenced in the non-judicial scope. This research approaches both scenarios from a legal and practical perspective and analyses the current solutions and some proposals of improvement.

The Convention For Choosing The Applicable Law – A Construction Specific For The Relationships Of Private Law With Foreign Element
2017
The legal relationships with foreign element generate the need to designate the law applicable in the conflict of laws. The national conflictual right and the European regulations govern the two complementary mechanisms for determining the law of the cause. Choosing the law by the parties gives expression to the subjective determination that, for some matters, is the rule, and for others, is the subsidiary solution. The recourse to the localization criteria of the applicable law signifies the objective determination of the law and contains variants that always lead to the identification of the lex causae. The method of concretizing the will of the parties is the choice convention of the app…
The parties free will in chosen filiation
2014
A cumbersome process combined with fewer adoptable children impedes French demands for adoption which results in the potential parents seeking solutions abroad. Resorting to optional filiation through international adoption or surrogacy leads prospective French parents or actual candidates, to enter multiple contracts. This contractualization of optional filiations has surprisingly swept across France, clashing against principles of French law calling for a protection of the personal status and capacity by keeping them out of contracts. This study on freedom of will within the process of optional filiation highlights the tension between the prospective and also the biological parents', and …
