Relationship of the Brussels I Regulation vis-à-vis Legal Remedies Provided by National Enforcement Laws

Article discuss the impact of the Brussels I and Brussels I bis Regulations on Slovenian enforcement proceedings. The aim of the Brussels I bis Regulation is to ensure creditors a simpler but mostly quicker access to enforcement in case a judgment must be enforced in a state other than the Member State of origin. The new regulatory framework will certainly facilitate quicker access to enforcement for creditors. However, this can only be ensured categorically in the first phase of enforcement, i.e. the seizure of assets (distraint). In subsequent enforcement phases successful enforcement in favour of the creditor could be stayed if the debtor decides to enforce grounds used to challenge the enforceability of a foreign judgment. A major distinction is that the control of enforceability will only proceed if and when the debtor so requests. Razmerje med Uredbo Bruselj I in pravnimi sredstvi, ki jih predvidevajo nacionalne ureditve izvrsilnega prava Prispevek obravnava vpliv Uredb BU I in BU I bis na slovenski izvrsilni postopek. Namen BU I bis je upniku zagotoviti lažji, predvsem pa hitrejsi dostop do izvrsbe v primeru, da je treba sodbo izvrsiti v drugi državi kot v državi izvora. Gotovo bo nova ureditev upniku zagotovila hitrejsi dostop do izvrsbe, vendar to lahko kategoricno zagotovimo le za prvo fazo izvrsbe, to je rubež premoženja. V kasnejsih fazah izvrsitve pa se utegne upniku uspesna izvrsba odložiti, ce se dolžnik odloci uveljavljati razloge, s katerimi bo nasprotoval izvrsljivosti tuje sodne odlocbe. Pomembna razlika je ta, da se bo kontrola izvrsljivosti opravila le ko in ce bo dolžnik to zahteval.
