Overview

This collection contains the European legislation on the law of civil proceedings. This area of law has been undergoing a rapid development after the Treaty of Amsterdam of 1997. Starting out with only a few regulations deriving from some treaties, a dense net of Regulations, Directives and Recommendations has been set up in a very short period of time. This net serves to create a uniform space of liberty, security and rights in the European Union (Art. 61 of the EC Treaty). The new provisions will considerably help the parties involved to pursue and enforce their private law claims. The new acts of European law were mostly enacted as Regulations, which are directly applicable. Especially in cross-border cases the existence of the same forms for recognition of judgements, service and taking of evidence - printed in the Annexes of the regulations in this collection - in every Member State will be very helpful for the practical application of these acts. This collection is supposed to provide legal practitioners with all the necessary information for their work in the area of civil proceedings in just one volume. The trilingual text is an essential tool to help interpret the different provisions correctly in a European context. A uniform European law interpretation is unthinkable without cross-referencing to the versions of the texts in the other languages. The English and the French texts are of special importance, as those are the official languages in which the texts have been discussed and created. Beyond this the collection is meant to be used in research and teaching. The European law of civil proceedings has been the subject of its own research and teaching for quite some time. Surprisingly, a multilingual collection of the relevant provisions has been missing up to now; a gap, that this collection hopes to close.
