Resumen: En este trabajo vamos a explicar los tres problemas de aplicación que se encuentran contemplados en el Reglamento sucesorio europeo. De los tres, el orden público, la remisión a ordena­mientos plurilegislativos y el reenvío, este último es el que presenta una regulación más particular. En efecto, esta norma sucesoria se aparta de la línea general de excluir esta figura que siguen el resto de Reglamentos europeos de Derecho Internacional Privado. Además de lo anterior, el Reglamento no sólo admite el reenvío sino que, también, lo permite hasta de segundo grado.Palabras clave: orden público, ordenamientos plurilegislativos, reenvío, Reglamento sucesorio europeo.Abstract: In this paper we will explain the three application problems that are covered by the European Succession Regulation. Of the three, the public policy, the remission to States with more than one legal system and the renvoi, the latter is the one that presents a more particular regulation. In effect, the Regulation departs from the general line of excluding this figure, which is followed by the rest of the European Regulations on Private International Law. In addition, the Regulation not only allows it, but also allows it up to the second degree.Keywords: public policy, states with more than one legal system, renvoi, the EU succession Re­gulation

The EU legislation in the area of private international law addresses explicitly the “negative” aspect of public policy, i.e. the non-application of the otherwise applicable law on the ground that it is at variance with the fundamental values of the forum. By contrast, the legislative measures adopted so far remain silent as to the law or rules that one should apply as a result of the successful invocation of the public policy defence. The paper aims, first, to assess the approach whereby the latter issue should be decided in accordance with the private international law rules of the forum. Secondly, the paper contends that an autonomous solution to the issue of the subsidiarily applicable law should mirror the goals pursued by the EU legislator – namely autonomy, flexibility, proximity and foreseeability –, and enshrined in the already adopted instruments dealing with the conflict of laws, rather than following the more widely known and endorsed approaches either not ensuring foreseeability and legal certainty, or leading to the immediate application of the lex fori. The focus will be on conflict-of-law rules in family matters, although similar patterns can be exported to other areas of the judicial cooperation in civil and commercial matters.

The position of the executor of the will is governed by the law applicable to succession (Article 23(2)(f) of the EU Regulation 650/2012), while the position of the succession administrator of the estate of a business of a physical person located in Poland is subject to the Law of 5 July 2018 on the succession administration of the business of a physical person (the legal basis for such solution is in Article 30 of the EU Regulation 650/2012). However, if the court needs to determine the law applicable to certain aspects of appointing or functioning of these institutions, which have a nature of partial or preliminary questions, these laws will apply, as determined in line with the methods elaborated to deal with partial and preliminary questions in private international law. The rules devoted to the executors of wills are usually not self-standing. In such situations, the legislators most often call for supportive application of the rules designed for other matters existing in the same legal system (here — of the legis successionis). This is referred to as the absorption of the legal rules.

The unification of the conflict-of-law rules in matters of matrimonial property regimes at EU level seeks to mitigate differences in substantive law in particular legal systems. The aim of this contribution is to analyse the doctrine of overriding mandatory provisions and consider the applicability of the public policy exception, which limit the application of the law otherwise applicable determined in compliance with the unified conflict-of-law rules. The question author addresses in this paper is whether these institutes of the general part of private international law provide for sufficient safeguards to protect the fundamental values and public interests of the forum law in matters of matrimonial property regimes.

Resumen: Durante el año 2018 los tribunales españoles tuvieron que pronunciarse en diferentes ocasiones sobre los efectos legales que en España pueda tener el matrimonio poligámico celebrado váli­damente en el extranjero. La institución de la poligamia es progresivamente una figura cada vez menos ajena a nuestro entorno jurídico, dada la reiteración con que se plantea ante nuestros órganos jurisdiccio­nales. Esta reincidencia es en gran medida responsable del progresivo cambio de la percepción judicial española ante esta figura: del rechazo absoluto y sin matices a la admisión de ciertas consecuencias jurídicas, en aras de una interpretación tuitiva de la poligamia. Así lo evidencia la sentencia que aquí se analiza, que reconoce el derecho a la pensión de viudedad de la una ciudadana española que había con­traído matrimonio poligámico en Marruecos con un nacional de dicho país. Con esta decisión, el TSJ de Andalucía ratifica y consolida su lúcida línea interpretativa en esta materia, desde hace años partidaria de aplicar la doctrina del orden público atenuado a una institución plagada de matices, que casan mal con apreciaciones radicales y simplistas.Palabras clave: orden público internacional, pensión de viudedad, poligamia, Derecho internacio­nal privado.Abstract: During the year 2018 the Spanish courts issued various judgments on the legal effects that in Spain may have the polygamous marriage legally celebrated abroad. The polygamous marriage is less and less unknown for the Spanish legal system, because is a matter frequently submitted to our courts. The reiteration of these demands has helped to change the judicial perception of this institution: from the absolute rejection to the admission of some legal effects, because of a protective interpretation of polygamy. The decision of the Higher Court of Andalusia of Mai 24, 2018 is an illustrative example of this, by the recognition of widow’s pension to a Spanish woman who got a polygamous marriage to a Moroccan national in Morocco. This sentence confirms and consolidates the lucid case law of Anda­lusian Court, traditionally in favour of attenuated public policy for an institution with many shades, not adequate for simplistic and radical interpretations.Keywords: public policy, widow’s pension, polygamy, private international law.

 Resumen: El derecho del arbitraje internacional no es estrictamente internacional ni doméstico. A decir verdad, aquel cuerpo legal constituye un producto de la voluntad de las partes que han elegido resol­ver sus litigios mediante aquel tipo de mecanismo de solución de controversias. Ahora bien, aunque ello es así, dichas atribuciones presentan ciertos límites. Y es que, los laudos arbitrales internacionales formulados bajo aquellas libertades, son en estricto una forma de justicia privada y, como resultado de ello, los Estados en donde los mismos busquen ser ejecutados podrán rechazar su implementación en ciertas circunstancias. Una de aquellas circunstancias se produce cuando un laudo arbitral infringe el orden público (ordre public) del Estado donde éste busca ser ejecutado. Esta es una regla ampliamente reconocido, sin embargo, genera un problema. Y es que, la noción del orden público es contingente por naturaleza y, dado ello, ha sido nece­sario que su aplicación proceda solo en circunstancias excepcionales. Como resultado de esto, algunos aca­démicos y tribunales estatales han tratado de formular una noción del orden público de tipo internacional con el fin de establecer un contenido más restrictivo a aquella excepción. Sin embargo, esta terminología ha sido construida solo como una forma de identificar una sub-sección del orden público estatal. Esto lleva a ciertas preguntas: ¿Está el arbitraje internacional y, sus instituciones, circunscritas a elementos puramente domésticos? ¿Dónde queda la faceta internacional de los contratos de comercio internacional y de inver­siones si la excepción del orden público fuese a ser analizada desde un enfoque puramente estatal? Estas dudas han sido –tomadas en cuenta de alguna forma, en algunos sistemas legales, en donde el uso del orden público internacional ha sido estructurado en términos verdaderamente internacionales. Sin embargo, esto último también crea interrogantes a plantearse: ¿Qué implica hablar del orden público en el plano interna­cional? ¿Cuál es su contenido y, puede ser utilizado de forma práctica para excluir la ejecución de un laudo arbitral internacional? ¿Cuál es el rol del Derecho Internacional Público en todo esto? ¿Si el verdadero orden público internacional es utilizado, será aquel un punto de contacto entre el Derecho Internacional Público y el Derecho Internacional Privado? Estas y otras interrogantes serán tratadas en este espacio.Palabras clave: arbitraje internacional, orden público, orden público internacional, ejecución de laudos arbitrales, relación entre el derecho internacional público y el derecho internacional privado.Abstract: International arbitration is not domestic nor international in nature. In fact, the law appli­cable to that kind of proceedings can be considered a byproduct of the will of private parties. However, this wide attribution recognized to individuals have some limits. In this regard, it must be born in mind that arbitral awards represent a sort of private justice and, therefore, States requested to execute those kind of decisions can refuse their enforcement within their jurisdictions. One scenario that entails the non-enforcement of and arbitral award happens when the decision collides with the public policy (ordre public) of the State where is supposed to be implemented. This is widely recognized as a fundamental rule in international arbitration, nevertheless, a problem arises. The notion of public policy is contingent in nature and, because of that, it requires to be applied in very specific circumstances. That is why some academics and state tribunals have formulated the notion of international public policy as a term directed to narrow the content of that institution, but using to that end purely domestic legal content. In this sense, the term international public policy emerged as a merely sub-section of domestic public policy divested of any international meaning. In that context: ¿should international arbitration institutions (as the excep­tion of ordre public), be understood by purely domestic elements? ¿Where would be the international aspect of international commercial contract or investment if the exception of public policy is analyzed by purely domestic constructions? Those doubts have pushed in some systems, the formulation of in­ternational public policy in truly international terms. This is somehow welcomed, however, this usage creates additional doubts: ¿What does a public policy of the international realm entail? ¿What is its content and, can that be used in practical ways to exclude the enforcement of and international arbitral award? ¿What is the role of Public International Law in all of this? ¿If truly international public policy is used by domestic tribunals, would that be a point of connection between Public International Law and Private International Law? These and other questions will be entertained in this paper.Keywords: international arbitration, public policy, international public policy, enforcement of ar­bitral awards, public international law – private international law relationship.

 Abstract: In a private international law context reflecting significant divergences between the ob­jective choice-of-law rules for matrimonial property regimes, the principle of party autonomy appears as a salutary solution, bringing certainty, predictability and simplicity, while satisfying also the spouses’ substantial interests. The study focuses on the rules devoted to this principle by the European legislator in the (EU) Regulation no 2016/1103, attempting to outline its regime and insisting, particularly, on its admissibility and on the limitations that accompany its practical exercise. Providing a sufficient fra­mework for discussion and helping to illustrate the implications of the European text, the rules of the Romanian Civil Code and of the 1978 Hague Convention on the law applicable to matrimonial property regimes will serve as a benchmark.Keywords: matrimonial property regimes, EU Regulation no 2016/1103, autonomy of will, electio juris agreements, states with more than one legal system, change of the applicable law.Resumen: En un contexto de derecho internacional privado que refleja divergencias significativas entre las reglas objetivas de elección de los regímenes matrimoniales, el principio de autonomía de las partes aparece como una solución saludable, aportando certeza, previsibilidad y simplicidad, al tiempo que satisface también los intereses sustanciales de los cónyuges. El estudio se centra en las normas dedicadas a este principio por el legislador europeo en el Reglamento (UE) n. ° 2016/1103, que intenta delinear su régimen e insistir, en particular, en su admisibilidad y en las limitaciones que acompañan a su ejercicio práctico. Proporcionar un marco suficiente para el debate y ayudar a ilustrar las implicaciones del texto europeo, las normas del Código Civil rumano y del Convenio de La Haya de 1978 sobre la ley aplicable a los regímenes matrimoniales de propiedad servirán como punto de referencia.Palabras clave: regímenes económicos matrimoniales, Reglamento (UE) no 2016/1103, auto­nomía de la voluntad, acuerdo de elección de la ley aplicable, estados con diversos regímenes jurídicos, cambio de la ley aplicable.

  Resumen: El presente trabajo expone y analiza los criterios de solución empleados por el Tribunal Supremo para dar respuesta a la cuestión de saber si dos mujeres, viudas de un sujeto legalmente casado con ambas en Marruecos, pueden ser beneficiarias de la pensión de viudedad generada por dicho sujeto. El Tribunal Supremo acoge e implementa la tesis del orden público internacional atenuado. Lo hace al mar­gen de todo convenio internacional y de todo precepto legal porque entiende que el orden público atenuado protege los fundamentos jurídicos de la sociedad española y permite, al mismo tiempo, que un matrimonio legalmente celebrado en Marruecos, surta ciertos efectos legales en España. En particular, admite que ambas esposas puedan ser consideradas beneficiarias, a partes iguales, de la pensión de viudedad española.Palabras clave: orden público internacional, pensión de viudedad, poligamia, Derecho internacio­nal privadoAbstract: This paper deals with the criteria used by the Supreme Court of Spain in order to answer the question of whether two women, widows of the same husband, both legally married in Morocco, can be regarded as beneficiaries of the widow’s pension generated by their husband. The Supreme Court of Spain implements a mitigated public policy effect even though no international convention applies to the case. Once guaranteed that the legal foundations of Spanish society are safe, the Spanish Supreme Court activates an attenuated public policy to allow some legal effects of a marriage legally celebrated in Morocco. Among them, the court admits that both wives can be considered beneficiaries, in equal parts, of the Spanish widow’s pension.Keywords: public policy, widow’s pension, polygamy, private international law.

Overriding mandatory provisions are mandatory provisions that are applicable in situations with an international element. The author analyses overriding mandatory norms in the European private international law and in the Croatian national private international law. The definition of such norms provided in the 2017 Croatian Private International Law Act is almost a verbatim copy of the definition provided in the Rome I Regulation on the law applicable to contractual obligations. The 1982 Croatian Private International Law Act did not provide for a definition of overriding mandatory norms but it was uniformly accepted in the scholarly interpretations that those types of mandatory norms were accepted by the Croatian private international law system. Moreover, the 1982 PIL Act included a substantive family law provision, which was, in essence, an overriding mandatory provision. However, Croatian courts and practitioners have been reluctant to refer explicitly to an applied norm as an overriding mandatory one. The reasons behind that might be that that the courts were better acquainted with the public policy exception, since public policy was explicitly mentioned in the 1982 PIL Act, as well as in some other legal acts. In addition, the legislator does not explicitly note that a provision is an overriding mandatory one in the provision itself, which leads to the outcome that the courts and other practitioners are burdened with a complex task of interpretation of a provision they think might be an overriding mandatory one. The author aims at providing guidelines to facilitate that task.
