Ο Γιώργος Ιωάννου και ο Αλεξ Θέμης εκπροσώπησαν τους ιδιοκτήτες στην πιο κάτω υπόθεση, η οποία προσέλκυσε δημόσιο ενδιαφέρον.

Το Εφετείο ανάτρεψε την πρωτόδικη απόφαση του Επαρχιακού Δικαστηρίου με την οποία αθώωσε τον Εφεσίβλητο από την κατηγορία για κατοχή γης εγγεγραμμένης επ' ονόματι άλλου προσώπου χωρίς τη συναίνεση του, κατά παράβαση του Άρθρου 281(1)(α) του Ποινικού Κώδικα, Κεφ. 154, καταλήγοντας ότι εφόσον ο Εφεσίβλητος απέκτησε κατοχή του ακινήτου δυνάμει ενοικιαστηρίου εγγράφου, δεν βρέθηκε αυθαίρετα να το κατέχει αλλά ούτε και ο τερματισμός της συμφωνίας οδηγεί στο ότι η συναίνεση άρθηκε από τον ιδιοκτήτη.

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.
