I nter sentía
Although European scholars have called U.S. punitive damages an "(undesired)
peculiarity of American law" and the "Trojan horse of the Americanisation of
continental law", the European Union cannot close its eyes to this important
feature of U.S. law. Despite being under constant scrutiny, punitive damages have
a strong foothold on the other side of the ocean. Moreover, due to increased
globalisation, transnational litigation is arguably on the rise. In cross-border law
suits, it is inevitable that a jurisdiction will encounter legal institutions that are
alien to the substantive law of the forum.
This book examines the private international law treatment of American punitive
damages in the European Union. It poses the crucial question whether U.S.
punitive damages (should) penetrate the borders of the European Union through
the backdoor of private international law. More specifically, three areas of private
international law are analysed: service of process, applicable law and enforcement
of judgments.
In addition to describing the current positions in case law and scholarship, the
book takes a normative perspective and attempts to formulate concrete guiding
principles that can be used when the European legal order faces U.S. punitive
damages. It, therefore, provides an invaluable resource for practitioners, judges
and authorities confronted with this controversial remedy. Furthermore, as a
nation's private international law attitude indicates the country's level of tolerance
towards a foreign concept unknown in its own legal system, the book can form
ah essential building block for discussions amongst legislators surrounding the
introduction of the remedy of punitive damages in substantive law.
