Remedies Concerning Enforcement of Foreign Judgements

Brussels I Recast (Regulation No 1215/2012 on the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters) is intended to simplify and expedite cross-border enforcement of debts. However, some existing issues remain unresolved, and new ones have already been identi?ed since the Regulation entered into force in 2015. This collection of expert essays, the ?rst book to focus systematically and comprehensively on the area of remedies in the light of Brussels I Recast, offers detailed analyses of inherent problems and includes practical hypothetical cases illustrating major issues and how they may be resolved.The aspects covered by the contributors - all well-known academics, lawyers, and judges from different EU Member States - include the following:- grounds for refusal of recognition and enforcement;- certi?cation of enforceability and timely service of thecerti?cate;- adaptation of enforcement measures that are determined inthe judgment but are not known in the Member State ofenforcement;- effect of requesting a translation of the judgment;- ?nancial implications of remedies; and- provisional measures and their role in a timely protection ofrights.Because the success of Brussels I Recast depends on a very unpredictable implementation into national systems, the extent to which national barriers represent obstacles to fair and ef?cient judicial protection is thoroughly examined. A very useful concluding chapter presents practical cases highlighting the most important, as well as problematic, issues concerning enforcement of foreign judgments.The in-depth analyses conducted by the contributors clearly de?ne serious obstacles and propose solutions that will lead to better implementation of Brussels I Recast, better protection of party's rights, and further harmonisation in this ?eld of civil justice. This book is sure to be of exceptional value to counsel for multinational enterprises, EU and Member State legislators, enforcement agencies, and academics worldwide.
