JURE SUMMARY
JURE SUMMARY
The plaintiff, a Dutch liquidator in the insolvency of the defendant, a person domiciled in the Netherlands, claims on the basis of tort law that the defendant made certain goods, which he inherited and which are located in Austria, available in the context of the insolvency. The defendant argues that a decision of the Rechtbank Arnhem (NL) with respect to the seizure of the inheritance cannot be enforced in Austria based on the procedure for the recognition and enforcement of foreign decisions under the Brussels I Regulation.
The court, however, states that a potential decision in this case may be enforced in another Member State based on the rules of the Brussels I Regulation as the claim in question relates to a matter in tort.
