Hague Convention should mean UK judgments enforceable in EU states

摘要

Since the Brexit vote, property investors may want to know whether UK judgments will continue to be enforceable in the courts of EU member states when the UK leaves the EU. If proceedings are brought in the UK courts against a defaulting tenant (who, for argument's sake, is based in Spain), will the landlord be able to enforce that judgment in the Spanish courts? The issue does not just affect landlords, but any party wishing to enforce a UK judgment against a counterparty based in the EU.
