CJEU on the time limits for refusal of acceptance of a document/for lodging an objection against a decision on enforcement, in the context of the Service Regulation, in the case LKW Walter, C-7/21
This Thursday, the Court of Justice handed down its judgment in the case LKW Walter, C-7/21. In this case, the request for a preliminary ruling originates in the proceedings on a litigation malpractice action, between a company established under Austrian law and the lawyers established in that Member State, who represented the said company in the proceedings before Slovenian courts, in which it acted as a defendant.
In essence, the Austrian lawyers who in the context of the proceedings before Slovenian courts failed to timely lodge the reasoned objection against a decision on enforcement on the behalf of their client, now the defendant lawyers within the proceedings initiated by the said client against them, argue that the time limit set by the Slovenian legislator is not compatible with EU law.
