Questions referred
1. Does the term ‘between the same parties’ in Article 34(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 (1) of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters refer to the rules on the subjective scope of the operation of judgments of the Member States concerned, or is it intended to give to the subjective scope of the operation of the competing judgments a more precise interpretation in isolation from that regulation?
(i) must, in the interpretation of that term in Article 34(3) of Regulation No 44/2001, support be sought in the interpretation which the Court of Justice of the European Communities gave to the term ‘between the same parties’ in Article 21 of the Brussels Convention (now Article 27 of Regulation No 44/2001) in its judgment in Case C-351/96 Drouot assurances v CMI and Others [1998] ECR I-3075; and
(ii) must K-Line, which was a party to the Rotterdam proceedings, but not to the Düsseldorf proceedings, be deemed, because of the assignment and mandate, to be ‘the same party’ as Zeuner, which was a party to the Düsseldorf proceedings, but not to the Rotterdam proceedings?
(i) must the judgment given in the Member State in which recognition is sought have acquired the force of res judicata?
(ii) must the judgment given in the Member State in which recognition is sought precede the submission of the application for enforcement or the granting of the order for enforcement?
