Please read what was written earlier, Norman.  bigears wrote: hi I thought small claim court judgements aren't enforceable in law.  If it was me I would put it all behind me as the worry/stress of pursuing it can have a negative effect on health.  Now, just in case you missed it, the nub of this thread, later on, was the reality that one can now sue in another member state's jurisdiction, for tort and consequential loss (Including personal injuries) flowing therefrom. Additionally, a new EU Directive now creates Cross Border Small Claims Regimes, for all members states. It all comes from desired and expressed EU intent for Harmonisation: of law both civil and criminal: taxation: etc. In case you missed it, here's the URL once more.

French judges go to Judge School in Bordeaux to learn French law, they are not in the vaguest bit interested in what happens at European level, until it has been incorporated into French law. Even then, the moron who gets the job of playing judge only does what the prettiest looking Advocat tells him. Or happens to be his mate. Anyone who has dealt with the UK legal system hasn't seen anything til you've seen these clowns in action. At best, a decision will be made just in time for the next Ice Age and cost something in the region of GNP of a small African nation. I've always assumed there is a special test you have to fail for the French legal practitioners, just to ensure they only employ the most stupid.      Report

I still don't see what an English county court judgement has to do with the 'credit record' of a French Insurance Company.    Report
