Judgment_paragraph 41 · Rudolfs Meroni v Recoletos Limited (C-559/14)

41In that connection, it must be observed that, by not allowing any review of a foreign judgment as to its substance, Articles 36 and 45(2) of Regulation No 44/2001 prohibit the court of the Member State in which enforcement is sought from refusing to recognise or enforce that judgment solely on the ground that there is a discrepancy between the legal rule applied by the court of the State of origin and that which would have been applied by the court of the State in which enforcement is sought had it been seised of the dispute. Similarly, the court of the Member State in which recognition is sought may not review the accuracy of the findings of law or fact made by the court of the Member State of origin (see judgment of 28 April 2009 in Apostolides, C‑420/07, EU:C:2009:271, paragraph 58 and the case-law cited).
