The purpose of this instrument is to ensure that the European Union (EU) rules that determine the law applicable to contractual and non-contractual obligations continue to operate effectively in domestic law after the UK’s exit from the EU. Those EU rules are contained, in particular, in Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations (“Rome I”) and Regulation (EC) No 864/2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (“Rome II”).

Private International Law is a transferred matter for Northern Ireland under section 4(1) the Northern Ireland Act 1998.
