Interes w prawie prywatnym międzynarodowym. Zagadnienia węzłowe

The paper examines the fundamental issues regarding the interests in private international law. The goal of the present investigation is to attempt an answer to the question whose interests does the conflict-of-laws rules (narrowly understood) protect. This question is discussed in particular in reference to the theory created in the German doctrine by G. Kegel and developed by his follower K. Schurig. The paper systematizes the conflict-of-laws interests, giving the Polish law examples of the solutions that incorporate them. To be conscious that these interests exist and how they are allocated is necessary, both when drafting and enacting private international law legislation, as well as at the time of its application.
