Abstract

The Regulation no 593/2008 on the Law Applicable to Contractual Obligations (Rome I) raised several controversial issues. This contribution deals with some of these issues: the limitations to choice of law regarding contracts localized in one country or intra-European Union, the exclusion of choice of non-State law, the combination of a primary connection with an escape clause in Article 4, the scope of application of Article 6 regarding consumer contracts concluded through the Internet, and the problem of applicability of overriding mandatory rules.
