Edited by Professor Gralf-Peter Calliess and Professor Moritz Renner, this commentary synthesises the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the courts of the EU Member States to explain, provision by provision, which law governs cross-border contractual and non-contractual disputes. This edition has been comprehensively updated to reflect developments since 2020, including landmark CJEU rulings, the post-Brexit UK-EU relationship in conflict-of-laws matters, and the growing intersection between international economic sanctions and overriding mandatory provisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArticle-by-article structure lets practitioners go directly to the exact provision in dispute rather than searching through narrative text. Incorporates the latest CJEU case law and Member State court decisions on choice of law for cross-border contracts, torts, unjust enrichment and family-law conflicts. Provides dedicated analysis of how UK courts now apply retained EU law under the Rome I\/II framework post-Brexit — directly useful for firms advising on UK–EU cross-border transactions. Adds new coverage of how international economic sanctions regimes interact with overriding mandatory provisions under Rome I\/II, relevant to sanctions and trade-compliance practice. Supports the drafting of governing-law and jurisdiction clauses in international commercial contracts by clarifying the mandatory limits Rome I places on party autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRome I Regulation: scope and general provisions; uniform choice-of-law rules for contracts of carriage, consumer contracts, employment contracts and insurance contracts; formal validity; assignment and subrogation; final provisions.
