This contribution highlights the position of companies and firms, being addressees under article 49 and 54 TFEU, under the reign of ‘brand new’ EU cross-border civil procedural law: on January 10, 2015, EU Regulation 44/2001 on jurisdiction and recognition of judgments in civil and commercial matters was substituted by EU Regulation 2015/2012 carrying the same title and covering the same object. In some respects this Recast does not adequately respond to primary EU law developments in respect of cross-border company mobility.
