The principle area of Georg´s doctoral research centers on
Regulation No. 44/2001 (the Brussels I Regulation) Article 5.3, its proper
construction and efficient application.
The Brussels I
Regulation regulates international adjudicative competence in civil and
commercial matters for the intra-Community legal order of the European Union
where upon Article 5.3 regulates international adjudicative in/competence in
matters relating to non-contractual liability.
The thesis
examines the construction of the component parts of power-conferring norms in
accordance with the scheme and system of the Brussels I Regulation in general
and Art 5.3 in particular.
The thesis
investigates the following question: - if, by what and how distinct general
classes of normative consequence-relations in particular interdefine a
court´s and a legal relationship´s respective
competence/non-immunity and incompetence/immunity in matters relating to
non-contractual liability.
Beyond the specialisation in the private international law, Georg´s main interests are in tort law, contract law, theories of rights and normative positions, comparative private law theory and practice, evolution of the international legal order, computer law and legal aspects of information- and communication systems, and cognitive psychology, knowledge, knowledge representation and organisation, and representation and organisation of legal information.
