JURE SUMMARY
JURE SUMMARY
The applicants, domiciled in the Netherlands, request a declaration of enforceability of a decision of the Rechtbank Turnhout (BE). In this decision, a civil claim for damages was awarded in criminal proceedings against the defendant, domiciled in the Netherlands. The President of the Rechtbank 's-Hertogenbosch (NL) declines the request as the document instituting the proceedings did not mention that a civil claim would be brought.
In appeal, the Gerechtshof 's-Hertogenbosch (NL) gives the declaration of enforceability. According to the appeal court, Article 27 Brussels Convention does not require that the introductory document to criminal proceedings mentions that a civil claim will be brought.
