International Recovery of Maintenance on the Basis of Authentic Instruments
An online conference on International Recovery of Maintenance on the Basis of Authentic Instruments is set to take place on 29 January 2025 from 3 to 5 PM CET, hosted by the German Institute for Youth Services and Family Law (DIJuF).
Authentic instruments, such as enforceable deeds, allow maintenance debtors to commit to child support payments without court involvement. These instruments hold the same enforceability as court decisions in cases of non-payment. Cross-border enforcement is addressed under Article 48 of Regulation (EC) No. 4/2009 and Article 30 of the 2007 Hague Child Support Convention. However, limited global understanding of their nature often results in scepticism regarding the conditions under which they are established, leading to challenges in recognition, declaration of enforceability and enforcement.
Speakers include Isabelle Jäger-Maillet (DIJuF Heidelberg), Nigel Ready (Scriverner Notary, London), Dieter Martiny (Hamburg) and Catherine Collombet (Caisse Nationale d’Allocations Familiales, Paris).
