Abstract

El presente trabajo analiza la evolución del sistema de DIPr. relativo al contrato de seguro en el ámbito europeo. Centra su estudio en los contratos de seguro sobre grandes riesgos y los de riesgos masa.

The following paper analyses the evolution of the conflict of laws regime related to insurance contract law in the EEA. The study focuses on insurance contracts covering large risk and mass risks. First, it studies the Rome Convention regime and the numerous Community Directives, with its relative Spanish transposing law (art. 107 LCS). Comments to the outcome of the system, criticism to the complexity, lack of transparency and inconsistency result on the need to improve the system. Rome I Regulation comes into force as the sole Community conflict of laws system with direct effect over all EU member states. This regime is also analysed.
