Pre-Emptive Remedies in Europe

This text reflects the increasing importance in the use of interlocutory techniques as they apply in each of the EC jurisdictions. Covering all the signatory countries, it should aid the European lawyer in deciding what action to take in a foreign court and how to go about it. Topics discussed include the structure of the courts, what type of injunctions can be obtained, the legal team required, post-injunction factors, sanctions, enquiries into damages and other ancillary orders. The editor also discusses the Brussels Convention of 1968 dealing with jurisdiction issues and the cross-border enforcement of injunctions and judgements. The chapters are divided into sections covering: introduction; structure of the courts; criteria for obtaining an injunction; practice and procedure; post injunction factors; freezing orders; search and seize orders; other injunctions.
