The recently recast Council Regulation No 2019/1111 (' Brussels II-ter' ), which came into force in August 2022, is the key EU family law Regulation. It governs jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement in matrimonial matters (principally divorce), matters of parental responsibility (principally, custody and access), and international child abduction. This book provides an in-depth discussion of this complex Regulation. Written by three renowned experts, this comprehensive analysis benefits from the collective scope of their experience and knowledge not only of their jurisdictions (Italy, Sweden and the UK) but also more generally of international family law and private international law. Brussels II-ter: Cross-border Marriage Dissolution, Parental Responsibility Disputes and Child Abduction in the EU provides not only a clear exposition of the Regulation's provisions, but also supplies a critical evaluation of these, highlighting the undoubted improvements made by Brussels II-ter while simultaneously exploring its more problematic aspects. An exposition of the relationship between the EU and the UK following Brexit concludes this volume.

How to choose the most beneficial enforcement regime for cross-border claims of a client? A question considerably complicated by (1) the existence of various European Union enforcement tools and (2) particularities in the national legal systems that impact on the operation and suitability of the various enforcement tools. This book compares and analyses the practical utility and potential pitfalls of the 2nd generation regulations (European Enforcement Order, European Order for Payment, European Small Claims Procedure and European Account Preservation Order) and their relation to Brussels Ibis. The work is based on an extensive evaluation of case law (published and unpublished), empirical data and literature from eight Member States (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Poland, Spain) and the Court of Justice of the European Union.

Over the last decade, European company law has been re-written completely. Virtually no EU measure remained unchanged and most of them have undergone fundamental reform. This book discusses the EC/EU law first including all instruments through which it is transposed into the national law systems.

In recent years, EU consumer law has been subject to spectacular decisions by the European Court of Justice, with important consequences for the private law of Member States. The three authors have taken a broad horizontal approach at the European acquis, thereby reflecting on the history, the achievements and also the shortcomings of EC law.

The book provides a systematic introduction to the methods of EU law and the influence of EU law on national methods of law. It discusses the historical, economic and comparative background from a European perspective but also gives attention to the methodological particularities of selected areas of the law and different Member States.
