Overview

This article-by-article Commentary on EU Regulations 2016/1103 and 2016/1104 critically examines the uniform rules adopted by the EU to deal with the property relations of international couples, both married and in registered partnerships. It offers a comprehensive side-by-side discussion of the two Regulations to provide context and a deeper understanding of the issues of jurisdiction, applicable law and recognition of judgements covered. Written by experts from a variety of European countries, this Commentary draws on scholarship and practice from a number of EU states to enrich its analysis and explore pertinent questions of jurisprudence. It also highlights the close relationship of the Regulations with other legislative measures of the EU in the field of private international law, such as on matters of succession and matrimonial matters. This Commentary will be a crucial reference source for practitioners working as family litigation lawyers, estate planning lawyers and notaries. It will also be of interest to scholars and other practitioners working in the field of private international law. Contributors include: G. Biagioni, A. Bonomi, B. Campuzano Díaz, J. Carruthers, S. Corneloup, G. Cuniberti, E. D'Alessandro, P. Franzina, M. Gebauer, C. Kohler, S. Marino, C. Mariottini, D. Martiny, C.I. Nagy, J. Re, C. Ricci, A. Rodríguez Benot, L. Sandrini, I. Viarengo, P.

Reviews

'This Italian initiative for a truly European Commentary on the new regulations for property regimes of international couples must be warmly welcomed. Conceived with the help of a transnational team comprising some of the best academics in the field, this Commentary will help practitioners understanding the new harmonized regimes, as well as other interested lawyers making the necessary cross-references with other rules of the European judicial area. This new Elgar Commentary will be a guide for and towards the European future.' -- Louis d'Avout, Universite Pantheon-Assas (Paris II), France 'The European Property Regulations for spouses and registered partners have, so far, not attracted much attention in legal literature, compared to other European instruments. Over a year after they became applicable, the supply of books on both Regulations in English is still scarce. This gap will now be closed by Ilaria Viarengo and Pietro Franzina with this truly comprehensive commentary. The book brings together renowned authors from different Member States and will serve practitioners and academics as a valuable resource.' -- Anatol Dutta, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen, Germany
