Opis

This book examines the divorce aspects of the Brussels II bis Regulation (Regulation 2201/2003). It gives detailed consideration to the new jurisdictional rules and to the likely interpretation of the core jurisdictional concept of 'habitual residence'. The scope of the Regulation is analyzed, and particular attention is given to its possible application to civil partnerships and same-sex marriages. The book also analyzes the Regulation's impact on ancillary relief matters and its interaction with related measures of EU and national law in that context.
The new recognition procedures are considered in detail, as are the defenses to recognition, and the wider consequences of automatic recognition are assessed. The book provides in-depth coverage of relevant case-law of the national and EU courts, and particular attention is given to the likely impact of the cases decided under the 1968 Brussels Convention and under Regulation 44/2001 (including the Owusu case).

Recenzje

...a most welcome contribution to the quickly developing union law on cross-border family issues...This book can be highly recommended to all professionals, in particular judges, practitioners and academics, dealing with cross-border divorces within the EU. It should also be a self-evident consultation material in the forth-coming evaluation and revision of the Brussels II bis Regulation, planned to take place in 2012.
