This comprehensive Commentary provides article-by-article exploration of EU Regulation 655/2014, analysing and outlining in a straightforward manner the steps that lawyers, businesses and banks can take when involved in debt recovery. It offers a detailed discussion of national practice and legislation in order to provide context and a deeper understanding of the complex difficulties surrounding the procedural system created by the European Account Preservation Order (EAPO) Regulation.

Reviews / Votes
'Getting judgments may often seem the easy part; enforcing them is the main event. In the EU, this enforcement effort can be complicated by diverging practices in EU member states. The recent adoption of an EU-wide procedure offers positive results, and the fact some 55 billion Euros in judgments go unpaid each year proves the need for something like this. This book, by leading academics, introduces and explains the new procedure. It should be of great use to every judgment holder in every EU member state.' -- Richard Marcus, University of California College of the Law, San Francisco, USMore details
