Divorce Law
News @ The Justice and Home Affairs Council. Raising concerns of a “two speed” Europe, a group of EU Member States has decided to proceed with further EU integration having decided to go ahead with enhanced cooperation to by-pass the veto of other Member States in order to adopt common rules to designate the law applicable to cross border divorce cases. The Council Regulation 2201/2003, the so called Brussels II Regulation, provides for rules on jurisdiction and on recognition and enforcement of judgments in matrimonial matters but the applicable law is determined according to the domestic conflict of laws rules.
