REPP-funded researchers
I am a PhD researcher looking at private international law (PIL) and consumer law. Traditionally, PIL was value-neutral in that it did not matter who was party to a contract. Today, weaker party protection mandates that PIL treats different forms of contracts differently. Article 6 Rome I Regulation provides a conflicts rule specifically for consumers. Thus, there are two conflicting interests: those of PIL as a whole (neutrality, efficiency) on one hand and those of the public (weaker party protection) on the other hand. My research focusses on this relationship and tackles it from several angles, such as from a historic perspective and even a future perspective.

Measuring Transparency in Consumer Contracts: The Usefulness of Readability Formulas Empirically Assessed
My research concerns the forced sale of homes by mortgage lenders in case of default. I study this theme from a comparative perspective. Central in this research is the analysis of the different systems of forced sale of homes in EU member states and the existing formal and informal alternatives in case of default. The goal is to collect more knowledge about key factors for efficient and effective procedures and sufficient safeguards for the home owner and other parties involved. Well-functioning forced sale procedures are important for financial stability in countries, but also contribute to the availability of home ownership for consumers (financed through mortgage loans).

- The Analysis on the Validity of Unilateral Dispute Resolution Clauses in Foreign-related Civil and Commercial Contracts- Based on an Analysis of Cases and Value Orientation
The quest for the right balance between public and private interests is central to Olha Cherednychenko's research which focuses on the role of private law in the process of European market integration and the interaction between national and supranational legal orders and public and private governance mechanisms more generally. She is particularly interested in the following three closely interrelated themes: 1) the role of private law in constituting and regulating markets in the public interest, particularly in the financial markets; 2) the interplay between market regulation and traditional private law as well as the public and private enforcement mechanisms; and 3) the impact of fundamental rights and freedoms on private law.
