The book “The 50th Anniversary of the European Law of Civil Procedure” stems from the international conference to mark the 50th anniversary of the Brussels Convention on jurisdiction and the enforcement of judgments of 1968, organised by the Court of Justice of the European Union and the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg and held on 27–28 September 2018 in Luxembourg (Grande Salle d’Audience of the Court). At that conference, eminent academics from different EU Member States and distinguished members of the Court discussed the impact of the case law of the Court of Justice on the development of the “Brussels Regime” during the last decades.
In addition to contributions by members of the Court of Justice of the European Union and academics, the book also includes contributions presented by young scholars at a pre-conference colloquium organized at the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg, offering insights on the dialogue between the Court of Justice and national courts on the interpretation of the European law of civil procedure and how it shaped the Europeanisation of private international law, as well as reflecting on the current issues and future challenges.
