Summary

Appeal against the enforcement of a foreign court decision previously accepted by a Spanish court by means of an exequatur. Court decision: the examination of the appeal must be accepted by the court because of the direct effect and primacy of Community laws. The appeal before the Spanish Higher Court must be considered as a complete, closed and uniform proceeding applicable to the recognition of foreign court decisions according to art. 33 of Brussels II a Regulation and art. 44 of Brussels I Regulation. Nevertheless the appeal is finally rejected. Art. 44 of Brussels I Regulation is not infringed as alleged by the plaintiff. In addition, the plaintiff did not prove the existence of cassation interest before the court.
