Overview

Regulation (EC) No 864/2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (the so-called ""Rome II Regulation"") is the product of almost 30-years work by the institutions and Member States of the European Community. From 11th January 2009, it will introduce an entirely new set of rules for determining the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (including tort/delict, unjust enrichment and some equitable obligations). This work, written by an experienced practitioner, provides a user-friendly article-by-article commentary to assist practising lawyers in understanding the structure and practical application of the Regulation. The book also considers the background to, and treaty base, of the Regulation and its relationship to other EC instruments creating or affecting rules of private international law. Links to primary materials, news and updates will appear on the companion website at www.romeii.eu.

Reviews

We could have no finer commentary on events and on detailed provision, in tort mainly, but also as to general coherence and interaction of the three instruments, than has been provided by Andrew Dickinson in this admirable book. It is a measure of the author's charm, wit and enthusiasm for the subject of the conflict of laws that the reader approaches this magisterial tome with every confidence that one will be diverted as well as informed; and one is not disappointed. The author's writing remains engaging as well as indefatigably authoritative throughout...This book is an immense achievement. It is a signal contribution to our understanding of the Rome II Regulation at its inception, and is an invaluable resource for courts and advisers. It has got us off to the best possible start in understanding the provisions of the Regulation. We are 'primed', and owe a debt of gratitude to the author. --Elizabeth B Crawford, The Edinburgh Law Review 'any practising lawyer ... who is faced with a state immunity case yet fails to consult this splendid book fails to do so at his or her peril.' (Sir Robert Jennings, QC, formerly Whewell Professor of International Law at Cambridge, and formerly Judge and President of the International Court of Justice in The Hague )
