Abstract

This article outlines the main recent developments in the field of European private international law of employment. The developments include judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union on the concept of ‘individual employment contract’, jurisdiction over individual employment contracts and choice of law for individual employment contracts, changes to the posted workers regime through the adoption and transposition of the Posting of Workers Enforcement Directive and the revision of the Posted Workers Directive, and the forthcoming withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU. The article demonstrates that the European private international law of employment is fit for purpose, although there is scope for improvement.
