Brussels I Regulation

The Brussels I Regulation is a European legal framework that determines which court has the right to hear a civil or commercial dispute involving parties from different EU countries. It aims to simplify cross-border legal processes, ensuring that judgments are recognized and enforceable across member states. Essentially, it helps parties know where they can file lawsuits and ensures that court decisions in one country can be effectively enforced in another, promoting legal certainty and efficiency in international relations within Europe.
