E.C. Regulation 44/2001

E.C. Regulation 44/2001 in Maritime Law

Note: There is more information on maritime/admiralty law here.

The following is a definition of E.C. Regulation 44/2001, produced by Tetley, in the context of admiralty law: The Regulation of the Council of the European Union on Jurisdiction and the Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters, adopted December 22, 2000 (O.J.E.C. L 12/1 to L 12/23, January 16, 2001) and in force March 1, 2002 for all E.U. countries except Denmark. The Regulation is very similar to the Brussels Convention 1968, (see this legal term in this law dictionary), which it replaces. Denmark continues to be bound by that Convention. See Tetley, Int’l. M. & A. L., 2003 at pp. 421-422.
