Abstract: Determining the law applicable to contracts, particularly to international contracts, conventions and treaties, has always caused problems to both legal theoreticians and legal practitioners. The prevailing reason for the issue lies in the fact that a certain type of contract used to be interpreted in various ways. The choice of the applicable law depended on the choice of the link with the contract content. Due to the possibility of using different links, insurance contracts arose frequent legal debates and ambiguities, which was additionally complicated by the lack of harmonization and systematization of legal regulations and solutions. It was the European Union that tried to find an adequate solution for this complex issue of which one could hardly make any use in practice. The attempt referred to the adoption of the Rome I Regulation but the whole thing turned out to be only partially successful.
