The book discusses and comments on the issues and problems that arise when foreign judgments in the area of property law are recognised and enforced in Sweden, based on the supranational rules of the 2012 Brussels I Regulation, the 2007 Lugano Convention, the 2005 Hague Convention and the 2019 Hague Convention, and partly on Swedish private international law and procedural law. In recent years, it can be said that these legal issues have undergone a lively development.

The book will be of indispensable help to Swedish companies, lawyers and other legal advisers, as well as to courts and other authorities dealing with the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, which have to assess legal issues that often give rise to numerous problems in this respect.

The author of the book, Marie Linton, Associate Professor at Uppsala University Faculty of Law and President of the Swedish Comparative Law Association has published in Sweden and abroad in numerous journals and edited books on primarily issues on private international law and international civil procedure, as well as matters relating to university education. She has been involved in a number of projects within the Institute Access to Civil Justice. She is also currently participating in a European Union project called Digi-guard, coordinated by the Faculty of Law University of Maribor and by the Institute Access to Civil Justice (ACJ).

It should also be recalled that the Uppsala University in Sweden recently awarded an honorary doctorate to Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Vesna Rijavec, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Law of the University of Maribor for International Cooperation and Promotion.
