Book Description
This important book, the fourth in the Civil Procedure in Europe series, provides a comparative overview, for 15 EU countries, of orders for payment Mahnverfahren and similar proceedings. Each country's practice in this area is described and analysed by a national expert distinguished in the field of civil procedural law. The contributions are written in either English, French, or German, and are followed by summaries in both remaining languages. Bibliographies are included to enable the reader to locate material for further study. Each national report addresses the following issues: sources of law and general principles of orders for payment and similar proceedings; fields of application (kind of claims, amount of claim, etc.); requirements for the issuance of an order for payment; objection, appeal, and other remedies against orders for payment; and res judicata, enforceability and other effects of orders for payment. A comparative contribution by the editors analyses the similarities and differences between the various European systems. Furthermore, the editors discuss attempts to harmonise the law of civil procedure in this respect, which range from various recommendations of the Council of Europe to the 1998 draft of the Late Payment Directive, and provide concrete suggestions for a future harmonisation or unification of this area of the law. The countries covered are Austria, Belgium, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden.

Book Description
Procedural law is of vital importance in Europe. Nowadays, people and companies that intend to settle in Europe still are being confronted with a huge amount of diffenrent national procedures and a hallucinating number of regulations in the procedural field. Just consider the different procedural costs, strict time limits, prescription periods, notices of appeal, . Unlike other branches of law, historical or cultural impediments to the harmonisation of European procedural laws play a far more inferior role than technical aspects, Eventually, all comes down to the question: How can one lead a case to a result on a fast way and without high costs? In this publication, Europe's leading proceduralists share there views on the approximation of procedural laws. A specific in-depth analysis is made concerning enforcement, summary proceedings, fast-track proceedings and complex litigation. In 4 languages: English, Dutch, French and German.

Book Description
Every legal system, at the outset of court proceedings, has rules aimed at safeguarding parties' interests during the time needed to obtain a judgment on the merits. However, as the European Commission put the case in a 1997 communication, 'a comparative survey of national legislation reveals that there are virtually no definitions of provisional/protective measures and that the legal situations vary widely. The only convergence that can be ascertained is between the function of such measures.' Recognizing that after almost twenty years the issues noted by the Commission have not found a satisfactory solution, here at last is a book that collects and compares the ideas behind the 'preliminary injunction' (an expression the authors use as a general term for a great variety of provisional and precautionary measures) with an eye to defining and organizing this small but very important aspect of the law. Although the analysis touches on relevant measures from many countries, the authors focus on the national legislation in four EU Member States – England, France, Germany, and Italy – to highlight the nature of the differences these kinds of measures entail. They compare and contrast such aspects as the following: – differences in civil procedure; - the types of measures that may be taken; - the terms on which preliminary injunctions, which are normally directly enforceable, may be ordered by a court; - the kind of assets that may be affected; - the relationship between proceedings in an interlocutory action and proceedings on the substance; - necessity of credible evidence that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result if no preliminary injunction is granted; and - the role of protective measures in summary proceedings. The study also describes and examines the recent European order for payment (EC Regulation No. 1896/2006), the most significant existing transnational instrument aimed at granting preliminary protection of creditors' rights. This incomparable book represents a major contribution to a growing debate, particularly in Europe, on ways and means of securing equivalent protection for all litigants. Given the variety of legal systems and of measures available, the debate will have to focus on the functions served by provisional/protective measures, the minimum conditions to be satisfied, the adversary procedure requirement, the enforceability of the measures, and possible redress procedures. There is no more thorough and reliable resource available to clarify these issues for practitioners and interested policymakers everywhere.

Book Description
Greater efficiency in civil dispute resolution is very much dependent on organized but fair fact-finding. Under European law, however, no clear-cut categorisation of means of evidence exists as yet, and significantly diverging interpretations persist of what is considered 'evidence' in the sense of the foundational Council Regulation (EC) No. 1206/2001 (EER). The EER fails to provide comprehensive rules for many other aspects of evidence taking, pointing instead to national legislation for solutions. As long as evidentiary rules remain different from country to country, there is an inherent risk of conflict of laws between different systems in the course of cooperation between courts in cross-border matters, leading to mistrust amongst judiciary and other participants in the proceedings. Focusing on national rules, and using a comparative method which takes into consideration legal experiences from all legal circles in the EU, this book explains and analyses how the law of evidence works in Europe today. The authors draw on the vast base of relevant information collected in twenty-seven Member States by national reporters. Following the classical enumeration of types of evidence – production of documents, examination of witnesses, expert evidence, inspection by the judge, and examination of the parties – chapters encompass such issues and topics as the following. - judicial cooperation in cross-border cases; – general principles in evidence taking (the right to be heard, oral vs. written form, directness of evidence, burden of proof); – judges' case management powers regarding evidence; – means of evidence; – extent of influence of traditional principles and evidentiary rules on electronic evidence; – application of communication technology in cross-border proceedings; – legal costs; – language; – inadmissible evidence; and – instances in which a court can refuse a request for evidence. The authors offer well-grounded recommendations on requested judge's entitlements, direct and convenient communication, cost issues, revised provisions concerning language obstacles, unification of presumptions, and much more. Armed with the wide-ranging knowledge presented here, practitioners handling civil cases anywhere in Europe will derive great practical benefit from this book. As a masterful synthesis of how evidence is used in national courts in EU Member States, and of how that use is changing, the book will be greatly valued as a unique resource by legal scholars and academics. With featured recommendations it can contribute to the development of mutual trust among the national courts inside the EU as well as trust among policymakers and national courts.

Book Description
Améliorer la qualité de l’expertise de justice et tendre à harmoniser sa pratique en Europe afin de favoriser l’exercice effectif des droits et de renforcer la confiance des justiciables dans le règlement de leurs litiges, telles sont les ambitions de l’EEEI, Institut européen de l’expertise et de l’expert. Après avoir contribué à faire émerger des pistes de convergence de l’analyse du recours à l’expertise de justice dans les pays de l’Union européenne et en Norvège dans le cadre du projet EUREXPERTISE soutenu par la Commission européenne, des professionnels de la matière, magistrats, avocats, experts, universitaires s’impliquent ici, dans cette démarche d’harmonisation, au-delà des systèmes juridiques de droit interne, en accompagnant le projet EGLE qui doit aboutir à l’élaboration d’un guide européen des bonnes pratiques de l’expertise de justice. Préfacé par le professeur Hans Franken, cet ouvrage regroupe les réflexions de ces praticiens de différents États de l’Union européenne sur les exigences que doit satisfaire l’expertise de justice pour répondre aux besoins des juges et des justiciables et sur la nécessité d’identifier des techniciens compétents, indépendants, impartiaux, aptes à concourir efficacement à l’œuvre de justice. Illustré par une présentation d’actions déjà mises en œuvre au niveau local pour promouvoir une expertise de qualité et riche d’analyses pluridisciplinaires lucides sur les freins à l’instauration d’une véritable procédure européenne d’expertise, pourtant souhaitée, cet ouvrage est destiné en premier lieu aux praticiens de la résolution de litiges transfrontaliers et aux autorités qui concourent, au plan local ou national, au processus de l’expertise de justice ou au recrutement et à l’habilitation des experts de justice.
