A recent decision of the French Cour de cassation (Cass. Civ. 1re, 19 nov 2002, Banque Worms c. Epoux Brachot, J.C.P. 2002.II,10 201, concl. Sainte-Rose, note Chaillé de Néré, D.2003.797, note Khairallah) provides an interesting contribution to the recurrent debate, fuelled by the House of Lords request for a preliminary ruling from the European Court of Justice in Turner v. Grovit [2001] UKHL 65, [2002] 1 W.L.R. 107, over the availability of extraterritorial injunctive relief within the scope of the Brussels I Regulationwhether in the form of anti-suit injunctions in cases of parallel proceedings, or indeed of freezing orders under Article 31 in relation to assets situated in another Member State.
