Corte di cassazione (Sezioni unite), sentenza n. 17989 del 13 settembre 2016 — Le obbligazioni pecuniarie che devono essere adempiute al domicilio del creditore ai sensi dell’art. 1182, comma 3, del codice civile sono soltanto quelle liquide, per tali intendendosi le obbligazioni delle quali il titolo determini l’ammontare o indichi criteri determinativi non discrezionali [Nota: il principio di diritto assume rilievo, quando il rapporto contrattuale controverso sia retto dal diritto italiano, anche agli effetti della determinazione del locus solutionis dell’obbligazione dedotta in giudizio ai sensi dell’art. 7 n. 1, lett. a), del Regolamento n. 1215/2012 sulla competenza giurisdizionale e il riconoscimento delle decisioni in materia civile e commerciale]. ♦ Italian Supreme Court (United chambers), judgment No 17989 of 13 September 2016 — Article 1182(3) of the Italian Civil Code provides that pecuniary obligations are to be performed at the domicile of the creditor. The provision only applies to ‘liquid’ obligations, ie, obligations of a fixed amount. For the latter requirement to be met, it must be established that either the amount was determined in the contract, or that the contract set forth non-discretionary rules for the determination of the amount due [Note: as regards obligations arising out of contracts governed by Italian law, the finding of the Court is relevant to the identification of the place of performance of the obligation in question pursuant to Article 7(1)(a) of Regulation n. 1215/2012 on jurisdiction and the recognition of judgments in civil and commercial matters].

Dottrina / ScholarshipMariel Revillard, Stratégie de transmission d’un patrimoine international – Nouvelles perspectives (2 ed.), Defrénois, 2016, ISBN 9782856232897, Euro 62 — Les successions occupent une place prépondérante dans le droit international privé de la famille. Chaque année, un nombre considérable de successions internationales sont réglées en France. Des ressortissants de nationalité étrangère décèdent, soit en France, soit à l’étranger, laissant des biens non seulement en France mais dans d’autres pays. Des Français acquièrent des biens étrangers. L’introduction de ces éléments d’extranéité soulève des questions spécifiques au regard de la dévolution future de leur succession. La répartition d’un patrimoine dans différents pays suscite des problèmes de droit international privé et le notaire intervient de plus en plus à titre préventif dans la préparation d’une succession internationale (estate planning). Ceci suppose une parfaite connaissance des règles de conflit de lois, du droit interne étranger et de la fiscalité internationale en matière de succession. À la suite de l’entrée en application du règlement successions du 4 juillet 2012 qui opère de profonds bouleversements dans le droit des successions internationales, l’étude des successions internationales s’établit en distinguant le régime de droit commun applicable aux successions ouvertes avant le 17 août 2015 et celles ouvertes à partir du 17 août 2015. Le nouveau droit européen des successions justifiait donc cette seconde édition et ouvre aux notaires de nouvelles perspectives de planification successorale.
James Fawcett, Maire Ni Shuilleabhain, Sangeeta Shah, Human Rights and Private International Law, Oxford University Press, 2016, ISBN 9780199666409, GBP 210 — Examining the impact, both actual and potential, of human rights concerns on private international law as well as the oft overlooked topic of the impact of private international law on human rights, this work represents an invaluable resource for all those working or conducting research in these areas. Human Rights and Private International Law is the first title to consider and analyse the numerous private international law cases discussing human rights concerns arising in the commercial law context, alongside high profile cases dealing with torture (Jones v. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) and same sex marriage (Wilkinson v Kitzinger).The right to a fair trial is central to the intersection between human rights and private international law, and is considered in depth along with the right to freedom of expression; the right to respect for private and family life; the right to marry; the right to property; and the prohibition of discrimination on the ground of religion, sex, or nationality. Focussing on, though not confined to, the human rights set out in the ECHR, the work also examines the influence of human rights on private international law in countries which are not a party to the ECHR, such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States.
Alberto De Franceschi (ed.), European Contract Law and the Digital Single Market, Intersentia, 2016, ISBN 9781780684222, Euro 69 — The EU is committed to making the Single Market fit for the digital age, by enhancing the protection of consumers and data subjects, while providing businesses with the legal certainty they need to invest in this field and support growth and innovation. In this context, European Contract Law and the Digital Single Market, an edited collection consisting of carefully selected contributions by leading scholars, addresses the impact of digital technology on European Private Law in light of the latest legislative developments including the EU Regulation of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on free movement of such data, as well as the European Commission’s proposals of 9 December 2015 for a Directive on the supply of digital content, for a Directive on online and other distance sale of goods and for a Regulation on the cross-border portability of online content services in the internal market. The book analyses new and urgent issues in the field of contract, data protection, copyright and private international law: namely the EU approach to personal information as a tradeable commodity and as the object of a fundamental right of the individuals concerned, the protection of consumers’ and users’ rights in contracts for the supply of digital content and on online and other distance sales of goods, the cross-border portability of online content services, the new features of standard contracts in the digital market and the issues surrounding the emergence of the so called platform economy.
