Recognition and Enforcement of Non-EU Judgments

An ambitious work setting out the legal framework for the recognition and enforcement of non-EU judgments in the Union’s Member States.

This book examines the EU Member States’ national rules on recognition and enforcement of Non-EU judgments.

Through its country report methodology, it explores the rules of 21 Member States in a structured manner. The emerging points of convergence – and divergence – form the basis of a detailed comparative report, which provides a unique overview of the current legal framework of recognition and enforcement of non-EU judgments across the European Union. This allows for (at least) three intriguing points of comparison: between the laws of the individual Member States; between the laws of the Member States and the legal framework applicable to EU judgments under the Brussels Ia Regulation; and between the laws of the Member States and the 2019 HCCH Judgments Convention.

This ambitious and unique work will be an indispensable reference for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in the field of international commercial law.
