Review of whether service on a defendant in default of appearance of the document instituting the proceedings was duly effected , within the meaning of Article 27(2) of the Brussels Convention, remains within the confines of the provisions of the Member State in which judgment was given, that is to say, the domestic law of that State and the international conventions which it has concluded on the subject.
Le contrôle de la régularité de la signification ou de la notification au défendeur défaillant de l’acte introductif d’instance, au sens de l’article 27, point 2, de la Convention de Bruxelles reste limité aux dispositions de l’Etat d’origine, c’est-à-dire à la loi interne de cet Etat et aux conventions internationales que celui-ci a conclues en la matière.
