Scope of application
Cross-border cases:
It should concern a cross-border case. This is a case in which at least one of the parties is domiciled or habitually resident in a Member State other than the Member State of the court seized (Article 3). If, for example, the French court is seized, at least one of the parties should be domiciled or habitually resident in one of the other Member States. It is not required that both parties are domiciled or habitually resident in the EU.
