● Art 1(2): Excluded: family law and law of persons, bankruptcy, social security, arbitration

● LTU v. Eurocontrol: objectives of convention / regulation and general principles in all MS

○ 3 different places where the legal person can have the domicile Art 63(1)
■ Statutory seat Art 63(1)(a) or
■ Central administration Art 63(1)(b) or
■ Principle place of business Art 63(1)(c)
- → met if one of them is in the EU
- If companies have different places in Art 63, then multiple domicile
- Art 63: defendant’s domicile is in _
- Domicile is not sufficient when there is a CoC Clause or weaker party is
involved etc → different geographical scope in Art 25,...

○ 4 different Articles to apply an alternative geographical scope to Article 4

Exception to main rule in Art 4-6 / alternative geographical scope

b. Is Art 25 applicable? CoC Clause?


1. Exceptions to main rule Art 24 and Art 25 → regardless of domicile of the
parties

, Article 24: Exclusive Jurisdiction - Property
(→ one court has the power to adjudicate a case to the exclusion of all other courts; no other court
than listed)
➔ regardless of the parties’ domicile

● Article 24: 5 different individual grounds of exclusive jurisdiction
Different Geographical Scope to main rule
● Art 24(1): Court of the country where the immovable property is located will have
exclusive jurisdiction to deal with matters regarding this immovable property.
○ Immovable property needs to be located in MS of EU
○ If so → the regulation is geographically applicable and the courts of
the country where the property is located, will have exclusive
jurisdiction to deal with those matters
○ → country that has the closest connection where the property is
located
○ Parties cannot agree that another court has jurisdiction
○ This court determines whether it has jurisdiction acc to Art 24(1) and exclusion
of all other court in EU

⇥Limited to rights In rem: rights that bind everyone erga omnes;
⇥e.g. selling house - contractual rights and personal right → not part
of Art 24


● Art 24(1) Exception
○ However, in proceedings which have as their object tenancies of immovable
property concluded for temporary private use for a maximum period of six
consecutive months, the courts of the Member State in which the defendant is
domiciled shall also have jurisdiction, provided that the tenant is a natural
person and that the landlord and the tenant are domiciled in the same Member
State;
○ → court where the immovable is located + court where the defendant
is domiciled
○ if both claimant and defendant have a common HR in same country, then
another court of a MS (courts where the defendant is domiciled) should have
exclusive jurisdiction alongside the country where the property is located if the
dispute relates to a short term tenancy of less than 6 months
