The Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 (Amendment) Order 1990
This Order amends the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982, in consequence of a revision of the 1968 Convention on Jurisdiction and the Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters and the 1971 Protocol on the Interpretation of the Convention by the Court of Justice of the European Communities. The revision of the Convention and the Protocol was occasioned by the accession to them of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic, and the effect of this Order will be to extend the reciprocal application of the Convention accordingly. For convenience, the amended texts of the Convention and the Protocol are set out in Schedules 1 and 2 respectively. Further, two transitional provisions in the 1978 Accession Convention have been revoked, and the amended text is set out in Schedule 3.
