   • 2007, José Blas Fuentes Mañas, “La regla lex loci delicti commissi y normas localizadoras especiales en el reglamento “Roma II””, in Anuario español de derecho internacional privado, volume 7, page 345:

     La distinta calificación de las obligaciones contractuales o extracontractuales por los diferentes ordenamientos jurídicos de los Estados en los que se aplica el Reglamento, nos lleva a considerar las soluciones a un eventual conflicto de calificaciones. La solución más generalizada es acudir a la calificación ex lege fori, pero tratándose de un texto comunitario se impone la necesidad de construir un concepto autónomo que asegure la aplicación uniforme de la norma.

     The distinct qualification of contractual and extracontractual obligations by the different legal systems in which the regulation is applied leads us into considering the solutions for an eventual conflict of qualifications. The most generalized solution is to resort to the qualification from the law of the forum, but dealing with a community text there is a need to construct an autonomous concept which secures the uniform application of the norm.

   • 2007, Luis Garau Juaneda, “La conveniencia de una denuncia por parte de España del convenio de La Haya de 1971 sobre responsabilidad civil derivada de los accidentes de circulación”, in Anuario español de derecho internacional privado, volume 7, page 503:

     […] la autonomía de la voluntad contemplada en el RR II difícilmente sería utilizada en esta materia: el acuerdo a posteriori sobre la ley aplicable es equivalente al acuerdo sobre el fondo, y si hay acuerdo sobre el fondo, ¿para qué acudir a un juez?

     The party autonomy contemplated in the Rome II regulation would be of difficult utilization in this matter: the agreement on the applicable law after the event is tantamount to an agreement on the substance, and when there is agreement on the substance, why resort to the judge?

3. to come to mind

   acudir a la mente ― to occur to (someone)

4. to apply (to), to appeal (to) (e.g. a court, government department, commission)
