Civil Jurisdiction Rules Of The Eu And Their Impact On Third States

This book covers the development and current position of civil jurisdiction rules in the EU, with an analysis of the three main regulations on civil jurisdiction and the effect of these rules on parties domiciled or habitually resident outside the EU, particularly with regard to the recognition and enforcement of judgments made within the EU in external jurisdictions. The book also looks into the institutional issue of external relations the European Community maintains with third States, principally how these third States are able to conclude international agreements with EU Member States.
