Liability for defective products meets a modern legal framework applicable to cases which have an international nature in the European Union. However, the new regulatory developments have not solved the existing coordination problems and offer an unjustified complexity, so there is a certain risk that the objectives pursued by the European legislator in this strategic sector for the EU internal market are not going to be fulfilled. The objective of this study is to analyze the solutions contained in Regulation (EC) 442001, relating to jurisdiction, the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters and Regulation (EC) 8642007, concerning the law applicable to non-contractual obligations («Rome II»), aswell as their interrelationship with other conventional instruments.

This article analyzes the relevant issues concerning the localization of the place of arbitration in the current highly globalized trade and technology, referring to the legal developments that have taken place in this field in Spain and Latin America. Thus, on the one hand, phenomena like “online arbitration” (linked to the use of Online Dispute Resolution —ODR— systems) or “mobile arbitration” are analyzed. And, on the other hand, the trend towards “de-localization” of international commercial arbitration is underlined; turning it into a “non-national” arbitration, in which the determination of the seat is used simply to choose appropriate arbitration rules or even to meet the convenience either of the arbitral process or of the arbitrators.

Resumen: El consumidor europeo cuenta con una desigual atención, por parte del legislador de la Unión Europea, a la hora de tutelar su acceso a la justicia en relación a las controversias transfronterizas en las que pudiera verse involucrado. Una protección que, aunque atendida de cara a su acceso a la justicia al respecto de las situaciones conectadas con el mercado interior UE, no es tan evidente en relación con los casos extra-europeos, que además se han visto multiplicados tras la irrupción de la Sociedad de la Información. En este sentido, el presente artículo tiene por finalidad, en primer lugar, poner de manifiesto esta situación de desigual tutela, tanto con respecto al recurso a los tribunales ordinarios (competencia judicial internacional), como al respecto de los mecanismos alternativos de resolución de controversias, en esta materia (i.e. mediación y arbitraje). Junto a ello, este artículo igualmente realiza propuestas concretas que, al margen de destacar la importancia ...

El Reglamento europeo de sucesiones (plenamente aplicable desde agosto 2015) otorga un papel significativo a la autonomía de la voluntad, permitiendo al causante elegir la ley aplicable a su sucesión en supuestos transfronterizos. Aunque novedosa para los ordenamientos de algunos Estados miembros de la Unión Europea, la elección de la ley aplicable a la sucesión internacional cuenta con importantes precedentes convencionales y estatales en Europa, además de encontrarse alineada con una constante tendencia favorecedora de la electio iuris en los instrumentos europeos.
