Cross Border Enforcement of Claims in the EU: History, Present Time and Future

This book focuses on preventive security arrangements and precautionary measures that offer creditors the widest possible assurance of obtaining an enforceable cross border title of execution and recovering claims in the event of non-payment by the debtor – all while adhering closely to such guiding principles as efficiency, legal certainty, predictability, and the establishment of a proper balance between the interests of the claimant and the defendant. The author pays close attention to relevant factors as the following

the debtor’s privacy interest, the creditor's efficiency interest, legal principles of non-discrimination, proportionality, territoriality, universality, and mutuality;
the role of regulated enforcement and recovery agents;
a foreign State’s immunity against civil execution measures;
recognition and enforceability of titles of execution;
interim measures;
grounds of non-recognition or refusal and other obstacles to enforcement or recovery;
periods of limitation;
enforcement of a contested claim;
appeals;
costs and repayment;
referral provisions to national laws;
access to information for enforcement purposes in the international context;
the possible alternative to cross border enforcement of claims, international insolvency;
disqualification orders for non-serious or illegal business activity.
