Jurisdiction Over Non-EU Defendants_威尼斯赌博游戏

The third project of the EAPIL Young Research Network focused on the national rules on jurisdiction in civil and commercial matters over non-EU defendants. Despite the undeniable success of the Brussels Ia Regulation as an instrument of judicial cooperation in civil matters, its jurisdictional rules only apply if the defendant is domiciled in an EU Member State or if the court of an EU Member State has special or exclusive jurisdiction pursuant to Articles 18(1), 21(2), 24, or 25. In all other cases, the Regulation defers to the national laws of the Member States pursuant to Article 6(1). Yet, the drafters of the Brussels Ia Regulation clearly anticipated its possible extension. According to its Article 79, the Commission was expected to present a report on the application of the Regulation by 11 January 2022, which “shall include an evaluation of the possible need for a further extension of the rules on jurisdiction to defendants not domiciled in a Member State, taking into account the operation of this Regulation and possible developments at international level.” Against this background, and with the Commission Report now expected for 2023 at the earlierst, the EAPIL Young Research Network conducted this research project in order to identify the similarities and differences between the Member States' national rules on international jurisdiction that would be replaced by the Regulation if it were extended.

The project involved 23 researchers from 17 Member States. It found its formal conclusion with the publication of a comprehensive volume in May 2023, which contains all national reports as well as a comparative report and several external contributions.
