EAPO, maintenance obligations

Sažetak
The EAPO is a separate and standalone Europe- wide order which provides a maintenance creditor with the opportunity to apply without notice and to prevent transfer or withdrawal of funds held by a maintenance debtor in a bank account held in any other Member State (except in Denmark and the UK). The preservation order application procedure is in principle an ex parte written procedure based on information and evidence provided by the creditor. A significant degree of discretion is left to the court when assessing the pericolo in moro element. Despite the at first glance weak position of a debtor, he is provided sufficient legal remedies to challenge the Order. The author here identifies several weaknesses of the EAPO, but in general finds it to be a welcome tool to enforce maintenance debt throughout the EU.
