CHAPTER III. RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT
SECTION 1. Recognition
Art. 36 1. A judgment given in a Member State shall be recognised in the other Member States without any special procedure being required.
2. Any interested party may, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Subsection 2 of Section 3, apply for a decision that there are no grounds for refusal of recognition as referred to in Article 45.
3. If the outcome of proceedings in a court of a Member State depends on the determination of an incidental question of refusal of recognition, that court shall have jurisdiction over that question.
- (a)
- a copy of the judgment which satisfies the conditions necessary to establish its authenticity; and
- (b)
- the certificate issued pursuant to Article 53.
2. The court or authority before which a judgment given in another Member State is invoked may, where necessary, require the party invoking it to provide, in accordance with Article 57, a translation or a transliteration of the contents of the certificate referred to in point (b) of paragraph 1. The court or authority may require the party to provide a translation of the judgment instead of a translation of the contents of the certificate if it is unable to proceed without such a translation.
Art. 38 The court or authority before which a judgment given in another Member State is invoked may suspend the proceedings, in whole or in part, if:
- (a)
- the judgment is challenged in the Member State of origin; or
- (b)
- an application has been submitted for a decision that there are no grounds for refusal of recognition as referred to in Article 45 or for a decision that the recognition is to be refused on the basis of one of those grounds.
