The paper offers a fresh analysis of a delicate issue in European private international law: the application of the forum delicti under Article 7(2) of the Brussels Ibis Regulation to disputes arising from infringements of personality rights. It first outlines the principles underlying the forum delicti and reconstructs the interpretative solutions developed by the European Court of Justice from Shevill to Gtflix. It then critically assesses the coherence of the Court’s solutions and reviews the principal proposals for reform discussed in the literature, while also advancing an alternative approach. Overall, the paper seeks to contribute to the search for a balanced and coherent regulatory response to this unsettled issue in view of the forthcoming recast of the Brussels Ibis Regulation.
