Abstract

The importance of procedural regulations arises from the latin principle ubi remedium ibi ius, law results from remedies set out by a legal order to enforce its rules. This is true not only in state legal orders but also in the international legal order, where States may reach agreements on procedure law which regulate jurisdiction and the mutual recognition and enforcement of judgments of their national courts. The article deals with the Brussels Convention signed by the Member States of the European Community on 27th September 1968 and subsequent developments, such as those contained in regulation No. 44/2001 of 22nd December 2000. In particular, it gives a detailed analysis of Article 17 of the Convention and Article 23 of the regulation, which are concerned with the agreed conferment of jurisdiction on a court or the courts of a Member State (“prorogation of jurisdiction”), and focuses on the meaning of international jurisdiction and on agreements conferring jurisdiction.
