Judgment_paragraph 31 · H v H.K (C-295/13)

31Secondly, the Court, in a case concerning, inter alia, the exclusion of ‘bankruptcy, proceedings relating to the winding‑up of insolvent companies or other legal persons, judicial arrangements, compositions and analogous proceedings’ from the scope of Regulation No 44/2001, provided for, in identical terms to those of Article 1(2)(b) of the Lugano II Convention, in Article 1(2)(b) of that regulation, has previously held that that exclusion, on the one hand, and the scope of Regulation No 1346/2000, on the other, must be interpreted in such a way as to avoid any overlapping of the rules of law laid down by those texts. Consequently, in so far as an action falls under Article 3(1) of Regulation No 1346/2000, it does not fall within the scope of Regulation No 44/2001 (see, to that effect, Nickel & Goeldner Spedition, EU:C:2014:2145, paragraph 21 and the case-law cited).
