Summary

Being able to enforce a judgment is of crucial importance for businesses: securing a judgment is a pyrrhic victory unless it can be enforced. Here we explore whether concerns about the recognition and enforcement procedure between France and England can now be laid to rest. Our answer is that for commercial and finance parties, the answer is to a large degree, yes.

Historically, France and England were able to take advantage of the simplified EU regime to enforce automatically, judgments in civil and commercial matters in their respective jurisdictions. The applicable enforcement regime is now different. It is welcome news indeed that, certainly from July onwards, although still not entirely as straightforward as previously, the route to enforcement will in most cases become swifter and more efficient and cost-effective.
