 | | According to the Bundesgerichtshof, under Paragraph 935 of the Zivilprozessordnung (German Code of Civil Procedure, hereinafter 'the ZPO') an interim measure may be granted if it is feared that a change in the current situation could prevent orsubstantially impede the assertion by a party of his rights. |
 | | The Bundesgerichtshof states that, if those decisions are irreconcilable, the court of the State in which enforcement is sought should nevertheless have the power to disapply Article 27(3) of the Brussels Convention if it considers that, from the point of view of that State, the divergence is not sufficiently significant. |
 | | The Bundesgerichtshof is also uncertain whether, if it were to uphold the order for enforcement, it may, or must, maintain the financial penalty which the Landgericht Koblenz, on the basis of German law, attached to the order of the Tribunale di Bari in case the latter order was not enforced. |
