Publisher's Synopsis
Following the principle that 'justice delayed is justice denied', the European Council has called for 'further reduction of the intermediate measures which are still required to enable the recognition and enforcement of a decision or judgment', and the Commission has also emphasised that the traditional exequatur required to enforce debt collection is an obstacle to the free circulation of judgments, entails unnecessary costs and delays for the parties, and discourages companies and citizens. This in-depth commentary and analysis on the three main EU regulations facilitating cross-border debt collection compares them amongst themselves and with the solutions relating to recognition and enforcement in the enacted but not yet enforced Recast Brussels I Regulation.
