Die Auswirkungen des référé-expertise auf deutsche Zivilgerichtsverfahren - Die Brüssel-la-VO auf dem Prüfstand

This book provides comprehensive guidance on litigation tactics in relation to the pre-trial taking of evidence and the recast Brussels I Regulation. Is the pre-trial taking of evidence before a French Court permissible even if the parties involved have previously agreed on a choice of court agreement in favour of a German Court? Can a German judge base his judgement on a French expert’s findings? Which law is applicable to the decision with respect to the costs and the exclusion of evidence? The book also focusses on these questions with regard to supply chains and third-party notice. In addition, it refines the European law concepts of lis pendens and res iudicata. It is addressed to lawyers, judges and other parties involved in Franco-German trade relations.
