Abstract

Even though its development has been extraordinary in recent times, the movement of persons and goods between territories is described by the act of inter-territorial circulation in nothing other than ordinary terms. Numerous solutions for this border crossing phenomenon can be found under international law in its broadest sense. However, it is remarkable to observe that lawyers have interpreted the notion of movement inadequately, whereas it could be used to support and assist with the issues we face today. This article takes up example from developments in the legal handling of ‘movement situations.’

Notes

  1. 1.

    See particularly on this theme, Poillot-Peruzzetto and Marty (2002). Compare Wyler and Papaux (1999).

  2. 2.

    On which, see in particular: Kessedjian and Loquin (2000), La mondialisation entre illusion et utopie (2003), Halpérin (2009), Ruiz Fabri and Gradoni (2009).

  3. 3.

    We would mention four significant contemporary publications that consider the phenomenon in constitutional law and in private law: Joerges et al. (2004), Callie and Zumbansen (2012), Maduro et al. (2014), Lhuilier (2016).

  4. 4.

    The theme has developed significantly. See, in particular: Thouvenin and Tomuschat (2008), Forteau et al. (2011), Young (2012).

  5. 5.

    On the regionalization of law arising from the development of European law, see in particular: Poillot-Peruzzetto and Idot (2004), Graf Vitzthum et al. (2006), Robin-Olivier and Fasquelle (2008), Le Barbier-Le Bris (2012). On the other forms of regionalization and the impact on public international law , see Doumbé-Billé (2012). For collective research of this type in private international law : Bergé et al. (2015).

  6. 6.

    There is considerable literature on the subject. For different approaches to the phenomenon in various legal disciplines: Teubner (1997), Basedow and Kono (2000), Auby (2010), Faure and van de Walt (2010), Chérot and Frydman (2012), Frydman (2014), Muir Watt and Fernández Arroyo (2014), Basedow (2015).

  7. 7.

    To cite only two significant recent examples, see Muir Watt and Fernández Arroyo (2014), Basedow (2015).

  8. 8.

    To cite just three recent examples: Darnovsky and Beeson (2014), Faure et al. (2015), Supiot (2015).

  9. 9.

    This expression is used to denote the conclusions of Judge Matter in the case of Pélissier du Besset (Civ. 17 May 1927, DP 1928 I. 25, note H. Capitant). To define international situations (here in payment matters), this senior French judge stated: ‘The contract must operate as an ebb and flow of movement above the borders .’

  10. 10.

    For example, the verbo ‘movement’ does not appear in the Dictionary of globalization (Arnaud 2010).

  11. 11.

    In recently published books, note in particular that of Kessedjian (2013), whose introduction includes a comprehensive exposition on the subject. In earlier books, see, often cited, Lerebours-Pigeonnières which in the 5th edition of its precis (Précis de droit international privé 1948), talked about the ‘demands’ of private international trade (No. 207). The expression was later toned down to a consideration of the ‘needs’ of private international trade (6th ed., 1954, No. 207).

  12. 12.

    For a relatively recent analysis of the institution in the context of a Ph.D. thesis, see with the numerous references quoted: Souleau-Bertrand (2005).

  13. 13.

    See, for example, in the recent Mélanges en l’honneur du Professeur P. Mayer (LGDJ, 2015), contributions on the theme of Gaudemet-Tallon (2015), 255; Kinsch (2015), 377; Lequette (2015), 478 and Niboyet (2015), 629.

  14. 14.

    See on this theme, the commentary of Jobard-Bachellier and Bergé (2003), 182 et seq.

  15. 15.

    See the explanations and bibliographic references put forward in our book: Bergé (2015), spec. Nos. 119 et seq.

  16. 16.

    On the use of this expression regarding ‘the fact of social order,’ see Romano (1945) translated by François and Gothot, re-ed. 2002, spec. 30, in footnotes. For a recent commentary on this work, see with this editor, the collection Tiré à part, volume 13, 2015.

  17. 17.

    Bergé (2013), spec. Nos. 149 et seq. In collaboration with Mrs. G. Helleringer, an adaptation in English of this book is in preparation: Operating Law in a Global Context, Edward Elgar Publishing, to be published (June 2017).

  18. 18.

    Troper et al. (2005). The theory of constraints is part of a realist approach to the law that gives the interpreter, particularly the judge, a central role in legal construction.

  19. 19.

    Having carried out this research, we were able to refer to the various case studies in the book cited above (Bergé 2013, spec. No. 149). For an adaptation in English of this ‘movement’ aspect of the work, see Bergé and Helleringer (2013/2014), 11.

  20. 20.

    Lagarde (2008), 481; also Pataut (2009), 71; on the first elements of discussion, see particularly or also: Lagarde (2004), 225; Mayer (2005), 547; Pamboukis (2008), 513. See most recently, or the contributions assembled by Lagarde (2013). As well as Lagarde (2014), 9.

  21. 21.

    Definition inspired by Lagarde (2015), 441.

  22. 22.

    Reference is made to the contribution of Lequette (2015).

  23. 23.

    See the historical presentation of Gaudemet-Tallon (2015), spec. No. 7 that quotes the case Krombach (ECJ 28 March 2000, Case C-7/98).

  24. 24.

    In addition to the various references quoted above, see in particular the most recent studies published on this equally prolific subject: Bollée (2014), 215; Fulchiron and Bidaud-Garon (2015), 1; Sindres (2015), 429.
