On November, 24, 2017 the legal symposium on “(Non-)Uniform interpretation of EUInstruments on Private International Law by the Courts of the Member States” will be organized by the EU-project “Unalex – multilingual information for the uniform interpretation of the instruments of judicial cooperation in civil matters” in cooperation with the University of Innsbruck, when the Conclusions from Case law collected in the unalex system will be presented and discussed.
The conference will discuss best practices of Member State courts, who base their case law on the consideration of judgments given by courts of other Member States, but also “undiscovered disputes” between courts of Member States, where relevant case law from other Member States was ignored.
In addition, the conference will provide the occasion for the first meeting of ELAN (the European Legal Authors Network). The Network has started to form during the unalex project with the objective of developing systematic overviews on the application of the instruments of European private international law, where the case law of the courts of the Member States is comprehensively analysed and conflicting opinions discovered.
