Overview
Key facts:
- The Private International Law within the European Union programme is offered at the Radboud University.
- Nowadays it is more and more common that legal relationships have cross-border character. We sign contracts with people who reside in another country, we work in international companies and we buy goods via Internet. We fall in love with foreigners, get married and move to another country to start living and working there. In every case like this there is one very important legal question that arises: which law is applicable to the given case?
- Such cross-border legal relationships are even more common within the EU which provides freedom of movement. In this context, different conflict of rules being in force in different Member States can be understood as an obstacle to freedom of movement. That is the reason why the EU tries to create unified private international law in certain areas of private law, like contractual obligations or succession law. But those EU activities are only the part of the bigger process, which has stated many decades ago, by states signing international agreement, mostly within other international organization, which is The Hague Conference on Private International Law.
