International Law of Procedure

Introduction

International Law of Procedure - Research Guide International Law

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.

    Cadiet, L., E. Jeuland and S. Amrani-Mekki, Droit Processuel Civil de l'Union Européenne, Paris, LexisNexis, 2011.

    L’ouvrage traite de l’ensemble des instruments normatifs de l’Union européenne (règlements et directives) ayant pour objet les procédures applicables aux litiges communautaires de droit privé. Il fait partie d’un plan d’action de l’Union européenne afin de mieux faire connaître les instruments normatifs de l’Union dans le domaine des litiges communautaires de droit privé. Ce type de contentieux monte en puissance dans les différents pays de l’Union, mais les professionnels du droit les connaissent peu et les utilisent encore moins.
    Le récent programme de Stockholm entend développer de manière accrue la connaissance du droit processuel de l’Union européenne et faciliter de plus en plus la circulation des jugements civils au sein de l’Union en même temps que l’élaboration de dispositifs procéduraux ayant vocation à devenir commun à l’ensemble des pays de l’Union.

    Kramer, X.E. and Rhee, C.H. van (eds.), Civil Litigation in a Globalising World, The Hague, T.M.C. Asser Press, 2012.

    This book is an important contribution to the discussion about globalisation of civil procedure. Globalisation of legal matters and the inherent necessity of having to litigate in foreign courts or to enforce judgments in other countries considerably complicate civil proceedings due to great differences in civil procedure. This may jeopardise access to ustice. As a result, the debate on the need for the harmonisation of civil procedure becomes ever more prominent.    This book discusses the globalisation and harmonisation of civil procedure from various angles, including fundamental (international) principles of civil justice, legal history, private international law, law and economics and (European) policy.

    Linke, H., Internationales Zivilverfahrensrecht, Köln, Verlag Otto Schmidt, 2011.
    Zivilrechtliche Erkenntnis- oder Vollstreckungsverfahren mit Auslandsbezug sind längst nicht mehr die Domäne weniger Spezialisten, sondern gehören heute zum Alltagsgeschäft in der richterlichen und anwaltlichen Praxis. Gerade in den letzten Jahren hat sich das Internationale Zivilverfahrensrecht, nicht zuletzt infolge seiner fortschreitenden „Europäisierung“, erheblich weiterentwickelt, und zwar sowohl in die Breite wie in die Tiefe. Die vorliegende Einführung wendet sich vor allem an Studierende im Schwerpunkt- und Masterstudium, aber auch an Doktoranden, Referendare und Praktiker, die eine ebenso verlässliche wie verständliche erste Orientierung sowie weiterführende Hinweise suchen.

  • Danov, M., Jurisdiction and Judgments in Relation to EU Competition Law Claims, Oxford , Hart, 2011.

    Danov, M., Jurisdiction and Judgments in Relation to EU Competition Law Claims, Oxford , Hart, 2011.

    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.

    Cuniberti, G., C. Normand et F. Cornette, Droit international de l'exécution: recouvrement des créances civiles et commerciales, Paris, L.G.D.J., 2011.

    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.
