CJEU on recognition of extrajudicial divorces, case Senatsverwaltung für Inneres und Sport, C-646/20
It does not happen often that the Grand Chamber of the Court of Justice delivers a judgment on interpretation of EU private international law instruments. In fact, as the highly interesting study of Martina Mantovani on EAPIL blog shows, this field of EU law is characterized by a relatively low number of Grand Chamber cases – less than one per year.
The case Senatsverwaltung für Inneres und Sport, C-646/20 is one of the rare occurrences where the Court decided to have recourse to that option. It did so in order to clarify whether an extrajudicial act on divorce can constitute a ‘judgment’ under the Brussels II bis Regulation and enjoy automatic recognition.
