Vincent Richard, « La refonte du règlement sur la notification des actes judiciaires et extrajudiciaires », Revue critique de droit international privé, ID : 10670/1.f8mlz7
Regulation (EU) n° 2020/1784, adopted on 25 november 2020, recasts Regulation (EC) n° 1393/2007 on the service in the Member States of judicial and extrajudicial documents in civil or commercial matters. Under the recast, transmitting agencies shall transfer documents to receiving agencies through a decentralised IT system such as e-CODEX. The recast also encourages electronic service to the addressee where the latter agrees. The reform creates new responsibilities for receiving agencies without correcting some of the Regulation’s shortcomings.
