Author: JHA

As of 10 January 2015 the amended Brussels I Regulation will come into force. It will render cross-border judgments automatically enforceable across the EU.

An enforceable judgment in civil and commercial matters in one Member State will be automatically enforceable anywhere in the EU. This amendment puts an end to the exequatur procedure.
