Title: Litigation In The Netherlands Civil Procedure Arbitration And Administrative Litigation
Description: "This book offers an ideal way for a foreign lawyer to gain an appreciation of litigation practice and procedures in the Netherlands. Whether the impetus for the lawyer is in the normal course of business, or whether the brief and inexpensive kort geding (preliminary relief proceedings) is the main attraction, this concise guide provides the key to gaining a thorough understanding of the practical implications of Dutch litigation. This is an indispensable tool for meaningful exchanges with Dutch litigation counsel, prior to or during any lawsuit. The authors are seasoned practitioners, experienced in representing international clients in the Dutch legal arena. Expertly they cover the three types of dispute resolution practised under Dutch law: litigation in the civil courts, including corporate litigation in the Enterprise Court, as well as recent changes to the Code of Civil Procedure and discussion of likely trends arising from new and pending legislative proposals; arbitration, including discussion of mediation and expert determination; and administrative litigation, including compulsory administrative review by the administrative authorities and judicial review of government acts in the civil courts. Litigation in the Netherlands has proven to be a practical and comprehensive guide for all foreign lawyers, businesses and individuals involved in commercial litigation in the Netherlands, as well as a handy reference for Dutch lawyers who wish to advise their English-speaking clients on Dutch litigation"--Unedited summary from book cover.
