Legal Context
Jurisdiction for a claim against a debtor is generally governed by the Brussels I bis Regulation, which as a rule favours the courts of the defendant's residence, subject to exceptions such as contractual claims. A final judgment obtained in one EU member state is generally enforceable in another under EU rules on recognition, without a separate recognition procedure.
