Legal Recognition of Same-Sex Partnershipsby Robert Wintemute; Mads Andenas
Hart 2001; US$ 170.40Should same-sex couples be permitted to marry? Or should a separate institution of 'registered partnership' or 'civil union' be created for them?

The vitality of private international law within the European Union is evidenced by both legislative projects and the rich case law of the European Court of Justice. While the European Commission's draft for a Regulation on succession - which probably constitutes the most detailed and ambitious attempt ever to codify PIL in this area - begins its legislative process, a new initiative on the application of foreign law is being considered by the European institutions. Both of these developments are discussed in the Doctrine section. But the newest... more...
