EAPIL Working Group on Digital Assets Issues Position Paper

The EAPIL Working Group on the Law Applicable to Digital Assets has issued a Position Paper to comment on the private international law aspects of the Draft Principles and Commentary on Digital Assets and Private Law issued by UNIDROIT in January 2023.

The Position Paper can be found here.

The issue of the applicable law to digital assets, which is the subject matter of the Position Paper, will be taken up jointly by UNIDROIT and the Hague Conference on Private International Law, which have announced earlier this month their plan to launch the HCCH-UNIDROIT Project on Law Applicable to Cross-Border Holdings and Transfers of Digital Assets and Tokens.

The EAPIL Working Group will follow the joint work of HCCH and UNIDROIT.
