This book is the most up to date treatment of the increasing panoply of EU law on private international law. It explains the Treaty context by analysing Article 81 TFEU and the UK and Irish Protocol. It thoroughly analyses Brussels I (including the recast proposal of December 2010), Rome I and II, Brussels IIa, Maintenance and Insolvency and the relevant ECJ case law on those instruments. In addition it deals with the European Enforcement Order, European Payment Order, European Small Claims, Service Regulation, Taking of Evidence Regulation, proposed Succession Regulation, and the ECJ case law on private international law of companies.
