Regulation BIa: a standard for free circulation of judgments and mutual trust in the European Union (JUDGTRUST) National Report (Czech Republic)
Abstract
The Project is ground-breaking, not only in its scope but also in terms of multi-disciplinary approach. In analysing the interaction between the Regulation and the other EU private international law instruments, it supplements a primarily comparative legal approach with the use of empirical research.
The comparative legal research is carried out through the analysis of legislation, case law of national courts in EU Member States, as well as of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and legal writing. It identifies difficulties in application and points to best practices when applying the provisions of BIa Regulation primarily, but also of its predecessor (Brussels I Regulation) and other closely related private international law sources.
