Proposal of conflict of law rules and material law regarding to partnerships

normas de conflicto y Derecho material

Abstract

This article proposes the development of regulations on partnerships, both in terms of conflict and substantive law. Partnerships are not regulated by the national legislator; there is no national law in our legal system that covers this institution; nor is there any conflict rule dealing with these unions. This context requires legislators to address, once and for all, the regulation of unmarried couples, a growing phenomenon in our legal system which, for this reason, is generating more and more contentious situations that legal practitioners must resolve. Legislators need to be made aware of the need to draft a national law on unmarried couples, as well as the corresponding conflict rules in this area, in order to provide legal certainty for citizens and aspire to have a legal system that responds to the demands of the social reality in which we live.
