Summary

Appeal against the enforcement of a Portuguese court decision previously accepted by a Spanish court by means of an exequatur. Court decision: the foreign court decision is in accordance with art. 43 of Brussels II a Regulation. 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. The plaintiff did not prove the existence of cassation interest before the court (the plaintiff did not even mention a particular article of Brussels I Regulation presumably infringed by the second instance court decision).
