Visiting Researcher Zilin Hao
We are currently hosting visiting researcher Zilin Hao, PhD researcher at Wuhan University, in January-June for a six-months research stay. She is working on her PhD thesis (Exclusive jurisdiction for cross-border litigation) and got LLM and LLB in Law (China University of Political Science and Law).
She presents herself: “My research interests focus on the fields of private international law and international civil procedure. Before I came to Rotterdam, I learned a lot from the publications of Prof. Xandra Kramer. Thus, I appreciate Professor Kramer, who integrated me into her research group. During my stay, Xandra Kramer and her team gave me warm welcome and care. Most
importantly, by participating biweekly academic seminar with professional
teammates, I can consider my thesis question from the comparative perspective of
European private international law and civil procedure law in a straight way.
I cherish this rare opportunity for an academic visit and look forward to learning more in the coming months.”

On 28 September, Xandra Kramer gave a presentation at conference hosted by the European Court of Justice and the MPI Luxembourg celebrating the 50th anniversary of the European Law of Civil Procedure in Luxembourg, entitled 'The application of the European law of civil procedure in the dialogue between the CJEU and national courts.' She discussed the multi-regulation and multi-methodology of European civil procedure and the impact on the application by national courts and the dialogue between the CJEU and national courts as institutionalized by the preliminary reference procedure on the basis of statistics on the area of freedom, security and justice, and civil matters in particular. These show the huge differences between the Member States. For example, Germany alone referred more cases to the CJEU than did the nineteen Member States with the combined lowest rates. She gave recommendations on how the the dialogue can be improved.
