Brussels Iibis Regulation

The Brussels IIbis Regulation is the magna charta of cross-border divorce and cross-border lawsuits concerning parental responsibility in Europe. It has substantially changed the nature of lawyers' advice to clients in such cases. This book is the first ever English language, article-by-article commentary on this very important piece of European legislation. The book combines in-depth analysis with a genuine and truly European perspective, with contributions by top experts from all over Europe, and it provides necessary guidance, as the European Court of Justice will not be passing guiding judgments in the foreseeable future. This commentary will serve the need of an ever rising number of practitioners concerned with European divorce, custody, or child abduction cases, and it will certainly stir academic discussion all over Europe.
