Volume 2015/2016 of the Yearbook of Private International Law is once again an impressive collection of papers on a tremendously wide range of subjects.

Topics covered by this book include an account of the works under way in the Hague for a worldwide convention on mutual recognition of judgments, a commentary on some aspects of the Hague Principles on choice of law in international commercial contracts, a discussion of the potential consequences of the Brexit referendum on human relationships involving the UK and the EU as well as an in-depth analysis of crucial aspects of international litigation before the Chinese courts. A comprehensive set of papers is devoted to cross-border insolvency – with reports on the Recast Insolvency Regulation as well as ongoing reforms in Switzerland and Norway – which is not only an area of increasing practical importance but has also come over the years to serve as a laboratory for new forms of inter-country cooperation. The customary section on national developments – on the new Spanish legislation on cross-border child abduction, immunity from jurisdiction in the United States and recognition of foreign decisions in Lebanon and Nigeria – is a testament to the global reach which is so unique to the Yearbook.
