Impediments of National Procedural Law to the Free Movement of Judgments

This volume presents a comparative examination and empirical evaluation of national procedural rules and practices, and further assesses the key procedural problems that impact mutual trust and the free movement of judgments in light of national and European Court of Justice case law. It provides an exhaustive overview of the similarities and differences of civil procedure in all EU Member States, and their impact on the recognition and enforcement of judgments.

Alongside The Luxembourg Report on European Procedural Law, Volume II: The Impact of National Procedures on the Protection of Consumers under EU Law, the volume offers the most comprehensive, empiricallydriven comparative investigation of national civil procedure thus far undertaken in Europe. Using an extensive dataset comprising hundreds of interviews and responses to a multi-language online survey, examines the rules of civil procedure in all EU Member States, and identifies their impact on mutual trust and the free movement of judgments.
