Abstract
For long, private law has been struggling to distinguish contract from tort, delict, or other categories of non-contractual obligations. Unsurprisingly, the EU law of conflicts of jurisdictions also grapples with delineating contractual and non-contractual relationships. This article tells the complex but fascinating tale of demarcating the periphery of “contract” in the Brussels Ia Regulation (“Brussels Ia” or “the Regulation”)1. The topic is important because it touches upon the balance between the interests of the litigants and the efficacy of transnational court proceedings.
