Coherence of the Scope of Application of EU Private International Legal Instruments

The publication gathers some studies written from the perspective of what is currently known as the coherence or consistency of EU Private International Law (EU PIL), which is understood in the ordinary sense of the rationality and appropriateness of the different regulatory components of EU PIL, in their reciprocal relationship. The proliferation of EU PIL regulations on different matters corresponding to various chronological stages has led to significant regulatory dispersion. One aspect of coherence relates to current borders of the material scope of the legal instruments. This aspect is the main focus of the publication. It constitutes a very real and frequent problem facing law courts and other domestic authorities.
