The Law Applicable to Non-Contractual Obligations (Scotland) Regulations 2008
These Regulations concern Regulation (EC) No. 864/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (Rome II) (“Rome II”). Rome II establishes uniform choice of law rules in the field of non-contractual obligations, principally in the context of proceedings in delict, but also in relation to proceedings for unjust enrichment and some other non-contractual obligations. Rome II enables courts in the European Community to determine the national laws to be applied in cases with a cross-border dimension.
