The Rome I Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 17 June 2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations) is a regulation which governs the choice of law in the European Union. It is based
upon and replaces the Convention on the Law Applicable to Contractual
Obligations 1980.
The Rome I Regulation can be distinguished from the Brussels Regime which determines which court can hear
a given dispute, as opposed to which law it should apply. The regulation
applies to all EU member states except Denmark, which has an opt-out from implementing regulations under
the area
of freedom, security and justice.
The Danish government planned to join the
regulation if a referendum on 3 December 2015 approved converting
its opt-out into an opt-in, but the proposal was rejected. While
the United Kingdom originally opted-out of the regulation they subsequently
decided to opt-in.
