Have you had a road traffic accident in Cyprus?

What should you do?

1. Document the accident

After having ensured that nobody has been seriously injured or that adequate medical assistance has been provided or is on the way, you should document the accident.

  • Take pictures of the scene of the accident (position of the vehicles after the accident, tire marks, damaged vehicles, property or signs); generally speaking, insurance companies may take pictures of the scene, however we recommend that you also do that.
  • Get the contact details of potential witnesses who can give information about the accident - their witness statement can be of great importance either during out-of-court settlement negotiations or in court.

Jurisdiction In Cross-border Litigation: Insights From A Recent Cyprus Court Decision

It is not uncommon for high-value commercial disputes to give rise to jurisdictional issues, particularly where they involve multiple defendants domiciled in different jurisdictions or where one or more parties have entered into agreements containing jurisdiction clauses. The reason is straightforward: if the Court determines that it lacks jurisdiction to hear the matter, the proceedings may effectively come to an end at the outset. Accordingly, the issue of jurisdiction must be determined by the Court as a preliminary matter and at the earliest stage of proceedings.

The Preliminary Reference Procedure Before The CJEU: Cyprus Jurisprudence

The mechanism of the preliminary reference stands as one of the cornerstones of European Union law. It establishes a channel of judicial cooperation between the national courts of Member States and the Court of Justice of the European Union ("CJEU"), ensuring the uniform interpretation and application of EU law across all Member States. Understanding this mechanism, and in particular the conditions under which a Cypriot court may invoke it, is of considerable practical importance for any party appearing in proceedings that raise a question of EU law.
