The monograph of István Csongor NAGY associate professor at the Department of Private International Law of University of Szeged works up the relevant jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice, the explanatory reports, green papers of the regulations and the academic literature of the topic. One of the virtues of the book is that the author thoroughly reviewed the relevant English, French and German literature. Besides the international nature of the book another virtue is that it was written by taking into consequent consideration the relevant standpoints of Hungarian law and Hungarian legislation. So special attention is devoted to how certain Hungarian legal institutions and solutions classified, interpreted under the community legal regime. It is necessary, because not enough time has passed since Hungary’s accession for the response of the European Court of Justice on the problems and questions arisen by the symbiosis of the Community and Hungarian law.

The work is intentionally a problem-raiser and –solver one by considering its methods. The author’s goal was to define those jurisprudential questions which arise intensively, to draw up alternative resolutions according to the academic literature and presents his scientific point of view in the questions where there is not a matured Community case-law.
