By Giancarlo Frosio on

(with Olexandr Bulayenko)

On the basis of the analysis of norms, cases and practices in the EU and 12+1 selected Member States (Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and UK), this study identifies, describes and compares key aspects of blocking injunctions, with special emphasis on dynamic blocking injunctions. Such aspects include the availability of static and dynamic blocking injunctions, their scope, balancing of rights and interests, required and/or admissible evidence, technical solutions applied and the implementation of dynamic blocking injunctions in the different jurisdictions.
