Room for the application of the Act on International Private and Procedural Law in area of choice of law. Impact of the coexistence of EU and national sources of Slovak private international law on the choice of law regulation

Abstract

The article focuses on the analysis of regulation of the choice of law in the Slovak private international law. The ambition is to answer the question whether the coexistence of EU and national regulation brings duality in terms of the regulation of choice of law in the Slovak private international law. Subsequently, attention is drawn to the scope of application of the provisions of the Private International Law and Procedure Act expressly regulating the choice of law. The research is conducted with the aim of verifying the hypothesis of minimal room for application of the choice of law regulation enshrined in the Act on International Private and Procedural Law, which stems from the complex nature of the existing EU or international choice of law regulation.
