Course objectives
The public interest is an aspect that affects the legislative process in all areas of law. In private international law, aside from the rule-making process itself, the public interest is reflected by several basic institutes of conflict-of-law area of private international law (this course does not deal with institutes reflecting the public interest at the level of procedural part of private international law). It is an orde public, overriding mandatory rules or materialization of the conflict solution. The aim of the course is to analyze the key parameters of these institutes, including manifestations and impacts on private relations with an international element. Institutes will be analyzed by the perspective of the process of application of foreign law, ie at what moment and in what way these institutions can be used.
Learning outcomes
Students will be able to identify and compare the differences between the three institutes of private international law - ordre public, overriding mandatory rules and materialization of the conflict solution. They will be able to explain and determine the reasons for using these institutes, the moment of their use in the process of application of foreign law and the impact on the private relationship with the international element.
