"This book encompasses all aspects of international child abduction through the lens of an empirical study of the open files on abductions to and from Belgium in 2007 and 2008. It sheds light on the operations of the Hague Child Abduction Convention of 1980, on Brussels IIa (referred to in the book as Brussels IIbis), on the bilateral agreements that Belgium has with Morocco and Tunisia, and on cases of child abduction where no international instrument applied. However the book is not a piece of traditional, analytical legal scholarship. Instead, the book reveals to us the stories of the left-behind parents, a few of the abducting parents, and many of the professionals involved (e.g. lawyers, judges, psychologists, and people working for Central Authorities)"--From series editors' preface

On 30 June 2005 a Convention to respect choice of court agreements was finally born. The Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements aspires to be parallel to the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (1958) ('New York Convention'). The exception is that if an equally broadly accepted convention exists with respect to choice of court agreements,1 business parties will have an alternative to choosing arbitration in their contracts. If they have the assurance that a judgement will be recognized and enforced in a large number of States, some might be more inclined to insert a choice of court clause instead of an arbitration clause. This assumption has been confirmed by ICC research.2

This case deals with the use of the English law anti-suit injunction in combination with the Brussels Convention.2That Convention has since been replaced by the so-called Brussels I Regulation.3The Regulation kept the structure and basic rules of the Convention so that this judgment will stay effective and the rule established by it will apply equally under the Regulation.

Dit boek legt de hoofdlijnen van het internationaal privaatrecht (IPR) eenvoudig uit. De lezer zal niet alle nuances vinden van alle aspecten van dit rechtsdomein, maar enkel de essentie. Het boek is op de eerste plaats een instrument voor iedereen die in het IPR zijn of haar weg wil vinden: studenten, maar ook advocaten, magistraten, notarissen, ambtenaren en bedrijfsjuristen. De unieke aanpak maakt van het boek een nuttig studie- en werkinstrument voor de (bijna) jurist die (nog) niet gespecialiseerd is in het IPR. De auteurs brengen de essentie van het IPR in al zijn facetten. Zij willen de lezer het typische IPR-denken aanleren. Rechtspraak van Europese en Belgische gerechten en tal van voorbeelden in kadertjes vormen hierbij nuttige oriëntatiepunten. Een eerste algemeen deel handelt over de bronnen van het IPR, de begrippen en de vier belangrijke luiken van het IPR, zijnde de internationale bevoegdheid, het toepasselijk recht, de erkenning en uitvoerbaarheid van buitenlandse beslissingen en akten, en de administratieve en gerechtelijke samenwerking. Het tweede bijzonder deel gaat in op de verschillende onderdelen van het internationaal privaatrecht: personenrecht, familierecht, relatievermogen, onderhoudsverplichtingen, erfopvolging, goederen, contracten, niet-contractuele verbintenissen, rechtspersonen, trusts en insolventie. Wetgeving is bijgewerkt tot 31 oktober 2020, rechtspraak tot 1 juni 2019.

How to choose the most beneficial enforcement regime for cross-border claims of a client? A question considerably complicated by (1) the existence of various European Union enforcement tools and (2) particularities in the national legal systems that impact on the operation and suitability of the various enforcement tools. This book compares and analyses the practical utility and potential pitfalls of the 2nd generation regulations (European Enforcement Order, European Order for Payment, European Small Claims Procedure and European Account Preservation Order) and their relation to Brussels Ibis. Further, it analyses whether and to what extent all of the 2nd generation EU regulations prove their worth in the cross-border enforcement of claims, and which measures can be recommended for their practical improvement and for achieving greater consistency in European enforcement law. The work is based on an extensive evaluation of case law (more than 500 published and unpublished judgments), empirical data (150 interviews with practitioners) and literature from eight Member States (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Poland, Spain) and the Court of Justice of the European Union. It provides an extensive and up-to-date picture of the cross-border enforcement of claims across Europe and is an important resource for academics and practitioners alike.
