The judgment under review rules for the first time in France on the international jurisdiction to hear a liability action brought against an arbitrator. The decision is very interesting in that it raises the questions of the scope of the exclusion of arbitration from the Brussels Ibis Regulation and of the qualification of the action under European judicial law.

Making Cross Border Enforcement More Effective for Creditors

The European Union has worked at making cross-border enforcement more effective for more than 50 years. The process initially focused on the circulation of foreign judgments rendered in civil and commercial matters within the European Communities and the European Free Trade Association. At the turn of the century, as the European Union received a broader competence in the field, the EU lawmaker extended the scope of this initial policy to other subject matters, in particular in family law, but also endorsed a new policy of establishing harmonized EU procedures for the purpose of facilitating cross-border recovery of certain categories of claims (uncontested claims and small claims). The purpose of this contribution is to assess these policies and explore whether cross-border enforcement of monetary judgments could be made (even) more effective for creditors. [less ▲]

L’ouvrage présente de manière systéma-tique les règles de droit international privé applicables au Grand-Duché du Luxem-bourg. Ce premier volume est consacré à la détermination de la loi applicable et expose la théorie générale du conflit de lois ainsi que les solutions particulières concernant les obligations (contrats, délits, régime gé-néral de l’obligation), les biens (corporels et incorporels) et les sociétés (y compris en cas d’insolvabilité).A l’instar du droit des autres Etats membres, le droit international privé luxembourgeois est dominé par des sources d’origines européenne et internationale. Sa spécificité demeure forte, cependant, car le Luxembourg a ratifié des conven-tions internationales différentes de ses grands voisins francophones et adopté des normes nationales qui s’inspirent de plu-sieurs expériences juridiques étrangères, mais peuvent aussi être originales. Sans négliger la jurisprudence européenne, l’ouvrage tente enfin de rassembler la ju-risprudence des juridictions luxembour-geoises en la matière qui, à nouveau, si elle s’inspire le plus souvent de la jurisprudence française, s’en écarte parfois.

Jurisdiction to grant interim measures in support of arbitration - The influence of European law

in Yearbook of Private International Law (2020)

Despite the exclusion of arbitration from the European law of jurisdiction and judgments (Brussels I bis Regulation, Lugano Convention), the European Court of Justice has ruled in the Van Uden case that the jurisdiction of the courts of the Member or contracting States to grant at least certain interim measures in aid of arbitration is governed by these European instruments. This Article explores the consequences of the application of European law on the power of courts to grant such measures and in particular defines the scope of European law in this respect and the limitations that it establishes on the jurisdiction of the courts of the relevant European states.

Signalling the enforceability of the forum's judgments abroad

The aim of this Article is to document and assess the efforts made by international commercial courts to signal the enforce-ability of their judgments abroad. To that effect, three strategies were developed. The first and most obvious one was to enter into agreements providing for the mutual enforcement of judgments of contracting states which could serve the same function as the 1958 New York Convention for arbitral awards. Yet, as the 2005 Hague Convention has a limited scope and the 2019 Hague Convention is not yet in force, alternative strategies were identified. Several international commercial courts are actively pursuing the conclusion of non binding documents with other courts or even law firms suggesting that the judgments of the forum would be enforced by the courts of other states. Finally, one international court has also explored how it could convert its judgments into arbitral awards. [less ▲]
