Contribution by Dr. Nicolas Kyriakides to New Comparative Volume on the Recognition and Enforcement of Non-EU Judgments

A recently published collective volume, Recognition and Enforcement of Non-EU Judgments, examines the recognition and enforcement of judgments originating from outside the European Union. Edited by Tobias Lutzi, Ennio Piovesani and Dora Zgrabljić Rotar, the book provides a comprehensive comparative study of the legal frameworks governing the recognition and enforcement of non-EU judgments across 21 EU Member States. Bringing together contributions from leading scholars in private international law, the volume offers a detailed overview of national approaches and highlights key similarities and divergences among Member States.

Dr. Nicolas Kyriakides, Director of the Procedural Law Unit at the University of Nicosia, co-authored the Cyprus country report together with Dr. Konstantinos Rokas. Their chapter examines the Cypriot legal framework governing the recognition and enforcement of judgments from third countries, outlining the relevant statutory provisions, procedural mechanisms and the role of Cypriot courts in assessing such applications. The contribution also considers how national rules interact with broader principles of private international law and the practical implications for cross-border litigation.

The publication represents an important scholarly contribution to the study of private international law and cross-border civil procedure within Europe. By providing a comparative perspective on how EU Member States approach the enforcement of non-EU judgments, the volume serves as a valuable resource for academics, practitioners and policymakers interested in the evolving landscape of international civil litigation.
