Hot topics in EU family law
11th November 2016
John West is one of twelve speakers at the IAFL, ‘Hot topics in EU Family Law’ conference in Madrid this week. He is the only Scot presenting, and joins colleagues from Italy, Spain, Denmark, the Netherlands, France and England and Wales. The conference has been a sell-out, with over 150 participants from across Europe and the US meeting to talk about, amongst other things: international prenuptial agreements; maintenance; child relocation and the jurisdiction of the courts in relation to children. John has been asked to speak with Avvocato Carlo Rimini from Milan on the Maintenance Regulation. They will be looking at Regulation five years on and, in particular, the cases of Re V [2016] EWHC 668 (Fam)- an intra-UK decision of the High Court in England and Wales- and the European Court of Justice case, A v B Case C-184/14.
