La Ley 20/2011, del Registro Civil, y sus efectos en el Derecho internacional privado español

Abstract

This article aims at the analysis and assessment of Private International law rules within Act 20/2011, of the Civil Register, rules under Title X, whereby access of foreign judicial and extrajudicial documents to the CR is provided for, but also conflict of laws rules scattered throughout the Act. The present survey focuses on, but it is not limited to, adoptions finalized abroad by a foreign authority, as well as the recording of marriages performed in Spain where at least one of the spouses is a foreign national and marriages performed abroad where at least one of the spouses is a Spaniard. In all cases the analysis and assessment of such rules is carried out taking into account its necessary integration into the whole of the Spanish system of Private International law.
