Programma

Part 1 - Judicial cooperation in civil matters
The first part of the course will focus on Regulation No 1215/2012 (Brussels I Recast Regulation) on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments, authentic instruments and court agreements in civil and commercial matters. Particular attention will be given to:
a) Issues of jurisdiction;
b) Lis alibi pendens;
c) Techniques employed in the field of recognition and enforcement of foreign decisions.

Part. 2 - Judicial cooperation in criminal matters
The first subject of this part will consist in the study of EAW, as a model of a new form of judicial cooperation, and its implementation in MSs. Secondly, the course will focus on the other tools, recently introduced, especially by the EU Directives on rights in criminal proceedings and by the directive on EIO. The themes will be approached by a comparative method, in order to focus on the differences between the standing ECHR provisions - and, of course, the ECtHR case-law - and the level of guarantees offered by the new EU directives.

The European Public Prosecutor Office (according to art. 86 TUE) will be the object of a special focus after the entry into force of Regulation  No 1939/2017.
