The EU Suc­ces­sion Reg­u­la­tion seen from Scot­land

De­vel­op­ment sum­mary

J. M. Car­ruth­ers as­sesses the European Union's Suc­ces­sion Reg­u­la­tion through the eyes of a legal system out­side the Union, Scots law. The chapter ap­proaches the Reg­u­la­tion not from within but from the po­s­i­tion of an out­side ob­serv­er.

Cross-border es­tates are often split between EU Member States and legal sys­tems out­side the Union. Car­ruth­ers' chapter ad­dresses how the European suc­ces­sion rules appear from Scot­land at that point of in­ter­sec­tion.
