The Travlaw Blog

One of the things we have been monitoring carefully here at Travlaw is the new set of procedures brought into force by the EU in Dec 2008 & Jan 2009 for making and enforcing claims within the EU.  These procedures have the aim of bringing European Member States closer together in terms of cross border disputes and debt recovery, and as tools for companies in England & Wales these procedures could yet prove to be very, very useful.  

In particular we believe that the European Small Claims Procedure (ESCP), European Order for Payment (EOP) and European Enforcement Order (EEO) all present opportunities for our clients where disputes have arisen with suppliers in Europe. The thrust of these procedures is that they are designed to be efficient, relatively quick and, critically, you shouldn’t have to travel anywhere to use them – any actions can likely be brought right here in the UK! So, should you have any disputes ongoing, or looming, where you might benefit from discussing some options please do not hesitate to contact Matt.
