Rome I Regulation: The Law Applicable to Contractual Obligations in Europe

Will the new Rome I Regulation meet its goals

• to improve the predictability of the outcome of litigation?
• to bring certainty as to the law applicable and the free movement of judgments?
• to designate the same national law irrespective of the country of the court in which an action is brought?

The most important features of this instrument are outlined and discussed by distinguished legal experts all over Europe and beyond at the conference "The Rome I Regulation", held in Verona on March 2009. This first English book on the Rome I Regulation contains the papers submitted to that conference.
