<p>The European Private International Law of Employment provides a</p><p>descriptive and normative account of the European rules of jurisdiction</p><p>and choice of law which frame international employment litigation in the</p><p>courts of EU Member States. The author outlines the relevant rules of the</p><p>Brussels I Regulation Recast, the Rome Regulations, the Posted Workers</p><p>Directive and the draft of the Posting of Workers Enforcement Directive,</p><p>and assesses those rules in light of the objective of protection of employ-</p><p>ees. By using the UK as a case study, he also highlights the impact of the</p><p>‘Europeanisation’ of private international law on traditional perceptions</p><p>and rules in thisfield of law in individual Member States. For example, the</p><p>author demonstrates that the private international law of the EU is</p><p>fundamentally reshaping English conflict of laws by almost completely</p><p>merging the traditionally perceived contractual, statutory and tortious</p><p>claims into one claim for choice-of-law purposes.</p>
