CJEU fitting an order issued in a Member State on the basis of a third State judgment within the Brussels I bis Regime, case H Limited, C-568/20
In the judgment in Owens Bank, C-129/92, the Court of Justice held that the Brussels Convention does not apply to proceedings in a Contracting State concerning the enforcement of judgment given in civil and commercial matters in non-contracting State.

Unsurprisingly, as some national procedural laws provide for a possibility to ‘introduce’ a third State judgment within their system through a simplified and/or summary procedure, this question has been debated in the literature.
