The vitality of private international law within the European Union is evidenced by both legislative projects and the rich case law of the European Court of Justice. Among the former, one should first mention the recent Commission draft for a Regulation on succession, which probably constitutes the most detailed and ambitious attempt ever to codify private international law in this area. The draft not only covers conflict of laws and conflict of jurisdictions with respect to succession, but also ventures on the very delicate ground of the administration of estates, including, among others, the project of a European Succession Certificate. While this draft begins its legislative process, a new initiative on the application of foreign law is being considered by the European institutions. Both of these developments are discussed in the Doctrine section. In the section on court decisions, we report on some interesting judgments of the ECJ interpreting existing regulations (such as Brussels I and the insolvency regulation). While the European institutions’ efforts towards the creation of a European private international law system steadily continue, interesting developments are also taking place on other continents. For example, the present volume includes a special section focusing on Chinese private international law. A codification of conflict of law rules will probably be adopted in China in the next few years, but the existing case law, as well as the interpretation rules issued in certain areas by the Supreme People’s Court, deserve increased, contemporary attention from foreign scholars. The Yearbook also reports on the renewed interest with conflict of laws in the U.S. doctrine and a new draft codification in Uruguay. National reports from Japan, Panama and the Nordic countries should also be mentioned. Among the highlights of this volume, we will also mention some important theoretical contributions on the new role of party autonomy and on the controversial relationship between private international law and comparative law. Finally, the Forum section includes very interesting essays on two classical and continuously disputed topics, lis alibi pendens and the private international law aspects of money, and on the relatively new and challenging question of the relationship between intellectual property and state immunity.
