This article deals with the legal regulation governing the ascertaining of applicable law under the Insolvency Regulation while focusing on the provisions of Articles 3 and 7 and classifying this legal regulation from the perspective of private international law. The part dedicated to the provisions of Article 3 as a norm of international insolvency law introduces the concept of COMI - a basis to determine the jurisdiction of the court that should commence insolvency proceedings.

Furthermore, the essential case-law of the CJEU and Czech courts addressing COMI is presented. Regarding Article 7, an opinion is expressed that the legal regulation contained in Article 7 constitutes a conflict-of-laws rule for which the applicable law is determined by the location of the court that opened the given insolvency proceedings.

At this point, a fundamental connection is seen between the legal regulation contained in Articles 7 and Article 3. In addition, an opinion is expressed that the legal regulation contained in the Insolvency Regulation leads to the unity of international court jurisdiction and the determination of applicable law, which can be seen as the current trend in European private international law.
