International (Civil) Procedural Law is part of Private International Law and covers the following main subjects. Firstly, the jurisdiction of national courts in international civil and commercial disputes, and jurisdictional immunities. Secondly, the recognition and enforcement of decisions of foreign courts. The 1968 Brussels Convention on Jurisdiction and Enforcement represents the beginning of a harmonization programme of procedural law within the European Union which has been one of the most striking developments in this field. Harmonization attempts at the international level by the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT)and the American Law Institute (ALI) resulted in the ALI/UNIDROIT Principles and Rules of Transnational Civil Procedure in 2004.

Description: This book sets out the way that, through enhanced private antitrust enforcement reform, private international law has a pivotal role in EU competition law disputes with an international element. The author offers a thorough analysis of the post-2003 policy of the EU favouring private law enforcement of EU competition law and its implementation under the existing provisions for jurisdiction and recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments under the Brussels I regime. The book also considers how the jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement of judgments issues are dealt with in England under the common law rules applicable when Brussels I does not apply. The complex private International law problems in respect of cros-border class actions that have arisen in several countries, as well as judgments in relation to antitrust infringements, are also discussed. The author further examines the choice of law issues that may arise before the English courts under Rome I and Rome II. The potential problems regarding jurisdiction of arbitral tribunals and choice of law in arbitral proceedings in relation to EU competition law claims, and the jurisdiction of English courts in proceedings ancillary to arbitration claims, are dealt with accordingly.
Mihail Danov, 2011Description: L’ouvrage traite des aspects internationaux du droit de l’exécution forcée. Il examine les modalités du recouvrement international des créances en matière civile et commerciale. Ainsi, il explique comment des saisies peuvent être pratiquées en France sur le fondement d’un jugement étranger, ou comment le compte ouvert auprès de la succursale étrangère d’une banque opérant en France peut être saisi. La première partie présente les conditions dans lesquelles des titres exécutoires émis par des autorités autres que françaises (jugements étrangers, titres européens, décisions des juridictions internationales, sentences arbitrales, actes authentiques étrangers) peuvent être déclarés exécutoires en France et fonder l’intervention des organes d’exécution français. La seconde partie présente le régime des opérations d’exécution proprement dites dans un contexte international : saisies, injonctions judiciaires sous astreinte. Sont aussi examinés les obstacles à l’exécution que sont les immunités d’exécution et les préalables à l’exécution, à savoir la recherche de l’information patrimoniale et les notifications internationales.
