This text gives a general overview of the Code of Private International Law (Act of 16 July 2004, published in the Official Gazette on 27th July 2004), which entered into force on 1st of October 2004. The text focuses primarily on the aspects of the Code which are useful for notaries, such the law of estate and the law of matrimonial property. The text also gives an overview of the general rules of the Code of Private International law, with specific attention to the innovations (such as the escape clause to be found in Article 19).

In this paper I review the operation of the exception clause provided in Article 19 of the Belgian Code of Private International Law (Act of 16 July 2004 entered into force on 1st of October 2004). Much has been written on the need but also on the risks associated with such exception clauses. The introduction of this mechanism has been much criticized in Belgian scholarly works (among others by Barnich). I attempt to downplay or nuance some of the criticisms by showing that when properly applied, the exception clause does not call into question the operation of other conflict of laws rules. In order to do so, I analyze the main requirements of Article 19, in the light of the foreign experiences with similar mechanisms (inter alia the Swiss experience and the experience of the 1980 Rome Convention).

Ce texte donne un aperçu des questions pratiques soulevées par les donations qui s'inscrivent dans un cadre international. Il ne s'intéresse qu'aux questions civiles, en n'abordant pas les aspects de droit fiscal. Le texte est structuré autour de questions qui structurent le raisonnement du praticien. Une attention particulière est accordée aux formes sophistiquées de donation - donation avec charge, donation avec réserve d'usufruit, donation de residuo, etc. Les liens entre la donation et d'autres règles - comme le droit des successions et le droit des incapables - sont analysés.

Lexistence dun droit international privé européen nest plus à démontrer. Les développements considérables auxquels il donne lieu aujourdhui soulèvent la question de ses frontières. Où commence et où sarrête le DIP européen ?

The national or the European private international law is taking into a particular accountthe foreign legal systems. The foreign law application is an expression of the attention given to the foreignlegal systems, but applying a law that belongs to a different legal system than the legal system of the forumcountry may provoke a defence reaction caused by the existing differences between the legal systemsinvolved. The foreign law application is therefore confronted to different obstacles that tend to ensure aprimary application of the lex fori. First, the techniques used by the legal system of the forum country toapply the foreign law are not entirely favourable to this kind of application, as evidenced by the recurrentintervention of the international public policy. Furthermore, there are elements that are exogenous to thelegal system of the forum country, such as different understandings of the same legal institution that canobstruct the foreign law application. There is thus a gap between the theory of the private internationalrules, which would appeal a frequent application of the foreign law, and the use that is made of them by theauthorities of the forum country, which often leads to the neutralization of the foreign law. This studydefends a better compliance to the theory of private international law, which would promote the applicationof the foreign law. In this perspective, the private international law of the European Union provides animportant source of « savoir-faire » as it promotes the application of a foreign law belonging to anotherMember States. ; Le droit international privé, tel qu'il résulte des droits nationaux et du droit de l'Unioneuropéenne, accorde une attention particulière aux systèmes juridiques étrangers. L'application de la loiétrangère constitue l'expression de l'importance reconnue aux systèmes juridiques étrangers, mais appliquerune loi qui est extérieure au système juridique du for peut provoquer, du fait de sa différence, des réactionsdéfensives. L'application de la loi ...

All years, on a regular basis, a calendar month coincides with the farandole of the marriage fairs. That seems to be the moment to say "yes" and it is not without a certain emotion that, despite the success of multifaceted free love contracts, we continue to marry in white. You will certainly understand that it has not been so easy to attribute a very precise title to our communication, but we will say, exculpatory, that the expression and its related words are commonly accepted to refer to the same phenomenon in fact. White marriage is above all a metaphor. It is a marriage where one looks like, where you do "as if", in the context of an entirely different reality. From this small comedy, the pseudo-spouses seek to gain an advantage: avoiding a military service obligation, collecting a dot, to take examples from a little old 1, but imagination has no limits a priori. In the international order, stuffing makes it possible to obtain an effect which only an international marriage can confer, such as the acquisition of the nationality of the spouse or the acquisition of a residence permit. Recently, the Journal de l'Ile, dated 19 April 2002, repeated the story of two 'plucked love' by a couple of Mauricians who wanted to settle in Réunion and who had used marriage bias to be certain of staying permanently in our department. The stratagems are multiple and there are also several expressions to refer to white marriage. Often referred to as 'fictitious' or 'simulated' marriage. The formula for marriages of convenience is also used 2, although complacency, emotional, economic or social, still exists in marriage. In all cases, it is clear that the formula is used today only in the restricted context of 'authoritative' or 'naturalising' marriages. This is the point of meeting, without ever saying, white marriage and private international law. ; International audience ; All years, on a regular basis, a calendar month coincides with the farandole of the marriage fairs.
