JURE SUMMARY
JURE SUMMARY
The applicants make a request for an order to enforce a decision given by a Belgian court. In this decision, the Belgian court ordered the sale of an immovable property located in the Netherlands. In the Belgian decision, it is only stated that the claim is admissible and justified. The President of the Court received additional information from the applicants. From this information, it appears that the applicants and the defendants are the joint heirs of their deceased parents and that the immovable property is part of the inheritance.
The President of the Court judges that the decision must be regarded as aiming at the liquidation of the inheritance. Therefore, being a decision on "wills and succession", it does not fall within the scope of the Brussels Convention, by virtue of Article 1(2).
