• Resumen

  • On the 2nd of July 2019 the negotiations on the HCCH Judgments Convention were successfully concluded. Since then, scholars’ attention concerning this new instrument has grown exponentially. This contribution seeks to explore some of the open issues that were discussed in the negotiation process but remained open in the final text, such as, in particular, the application of the Convention to pecuniary penalties (2) and negative obligations (4), as well as the definition of the res judicata effect (3).
