significance for the suspension of the statute of limitations. Although the EU Service Regulation is not new, the courts are constantly dealing with issues relating to international service. One important aspect concerns the requirements for an effective suspension of the limitation period by filing an action. If actions are filed with the court at the last minute &#8211; as is frequently and generally permissible &#8211; Section 167 ZPO applies. This reads:    <\/p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;If a time limit is to be observed by service or the limitation period is to begin anew or be suspended pursuant to Section 204 of the German Civil Code, this effect shall take effect upon receipt of the application or declaration if service is effected <strong>shortly <\/strong>.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><p>&#8220;Immediately&#8221; requires the plaintiff to have done everything reasonable to ensure that service can take place as quickly as possible. An example of this is the payment of the advance on costs that is usually requested, which the plaintiff must pay immediately. <\/p><p>In this context, the EUTMR raised a question that the BGH dealt with not long ago in its judgment of 25.02.2021 (case no. <a href=\"https:\/\/dejure.org\/dienste\/vernetzung\/rechtsprechung?Text=IX%20ZR%20156\/19\" title=\"BGH, 25.02.2021 - IX ZR 156\/19: Zustellung der Klage in einem anderen EU-Mitgliedstaat als &quot;dem...\">IX ZR 156\/19<\/a>). In the author&#8217;s opinion, the lower court, the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt, had previously made a clear error of judgment, which the BGH corrected in an insightful ruling on various questions of the EUTMR. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3ffa12aa elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"3ffa12aa\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;zoomIn&quot;,&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4aab8922\" data-id=\"4aab8922\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f6cb059 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4f6cb059\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>Problem description  <\/strong><\/h2><p>It is about the following:<\/p><p>The EUTMR provides for options for the claimant with regard to the attachment of the translation of the claim (see Article 8 (1) to (3) of the EUTMR).<\/p><p>The plaintiff has the choice of whether or not to include a translation into the defendant&#8217;s language with the claim from the outset. The recipient can then refuse to receive the claim by returning it if he does not understand the plaintiff&#8217;s language. If the refusal of acceptance was justified, the service must be made up for with a translation. In the present case, the plaintiff had decided to enclose a translation from the outset. A very considerable period of time elapsed before service with translation was effected. This was &#8211; clearly wrongly! &#8211; The Frankfurt Higher Regional Court blamed the plaintiff for this, as the plaintiff would have had the option of initially sending the claim to the defendant without a translation and therefore more quickly.      <\/p><h2><strong><u>The BGH ruling<\/u><\/strong><\/h2><p>The Federal Court of Justice convincingly rejected the opinion of the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt regarding the effective suspension of the limitation period under the EU Regulation.<\/p><p>The BGH first made the following general statements with regard to the EU foreign service of process and the question of the suspension of the statute of limitations under the EU Regulation:<\/p><blockquote><p><em>(&#8230;)<\/em><\/p><p><em>If a time limit is to be observed by service, this effect shall take effect in accordance with Section <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/dejure.org\/gesetze\/ZPO\/167.html\"><em>167<\/em><\/a><em> ZPO (German Code of Civil Procedure), this effect already occurs upon receipt of the application or declaration if service is effected shortly.<\/em><\/p><p><em>(&#8230;)<\/em><\/p><p><em>It is true that the action was only served on December 9, 2016 and therefore more than eleven months after the expiry of the limitation period. However, this is harmless because service was &#8220;imminent&#8221; within the meaning of Section 167 ZPO. <\/em><\/p><p><em>(&#8230;)<\/em><\/p><p><em>This should not be based on a purely temporal approach. Rather, because service is effected ex officio, the parties should be protected from disadvantages caused by delays within the court&#8217;s business operations, as they cannot influence these delays. There is therefore no absolute time limit beyond which service can no longer be regarded as &#8220;imminent&#8221;. This also applies if there are delays lasting several months.

On the other hand, a freedom of choice opened up by law &#8211; as here by the EU Regulation &#8211; should not be able to tighten the obligations of Section 167 ZPO (Z\u00f6ller\/Greger, ZPO, 33rd ed., Section 167 para. 15; Niehoff, <a href=\"https:\/\/dejure.org\/dienste\/vernetzung\/rechtsprechung?Text=IWRZ%202019,%20232\" title=\"OLG Frankfurt, 08.05.2019 - 13 U 210\/17: Keine &quot;Demn&auml;chst-Zustellung&quot; bei durch &Uuml;bersetzung der...\">IWRZ 2019, 232<\/a>; Hess, IPRax 2020, 127, 128). <\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong><em>The latter view is correct.  <u>It does not constitute negligent service of process to make use of a method of service opened up by the Brussels I Regulation, even if this may delay service compared to other options.

In this light, the applicant cannot be instructed to attempt service without translation in order to meet the deadline. The assumption of such an obligation would make this type of service the rule (see Hess, IPRax 2020, 127). However, this would not take sufficient account of the interests of either the recipient or the applicant.    <\/em><\/p><p><em>On the one hand, it is not in line with the objective of the EU Regulation that the applicant always exercises his right of choice regardless of the language skills of the recipient.  <\/em><\/p><p><em>(&#8230;)<\/em><\/p><p><em>Secondly, the assumption of an obligation to first attempt service without translation does not take into account the legitimate interests of the applicant. He would be obliged to take the risk of a justified refusal to accept service by the addressee in accordance with Art. 8 (1) EC Regulation even if he knows for certain that the addressee does not speak the language. If the recipient actually makes use of his right to refuse acceptance, this is disadvantageous for the applicant in several respects, which in turn result from Art. 8 (1) and (3) of the EU Regulation.       <strong>A new service must be made, which in principle takes effect ex nunc for the time limits to be observed by the applicant (see Eichel, IPRax 2017, 352, 353 with further references). With regard to Art. 8 para. 3 sentence 3 Brussels I Regulation, the applicant now faces an additional risk of limitation because he cannot wait indefinitely for the new service and it is unclear how long he has to do so    <\/strong>(see para. 26).<\/em><\/p><p><em>In addition, the refusal of acceptance results in a delay in the proceedings. This is not only due to the fact that a translation has to be prepared and the service repeated after all. Rather, the loss of time is also caused by the fact that Art. 8 para. 3 sentence 3 of the EU Regulation restricts the retroactive effect to the &#8220;relationship with the applicant&#8221;. This is because the service of the document instituting the proceedings must not lead to the expiry of time limits for the defense at the expense of the addressee as long as the latter is unable to understand the content of the document (see ECJ, judgment of 8 November 2005 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/dejure.org\/dienste\/vernetzung\/rechtsprechung?Text=C-443\/03\" title=\"C-443\/03 (2 zugeordnete Entscheidungen)\">C-443\/03<\/a>, Leffler, ECR 2005, I-09611 para. 67 f; see also Eichel, IPRax 2017, 352, 353). Therefore, the time limit for filing a statement of defense pursuant to Art. 8 para. 3 sentence 2 Brussels I Regulation does not begin to run until the translation is served (see Rauscher\/Heiderhoff, Europ\u00e4isches Zivilprozess- und Kollisionsrecht, 4th ed., vol. 2, A.II.1, Art. 8 para. 24).      <\/em><\/p><p><em>Restricting the right of choice provided for in Article 5(1) of the EUTMR would ultimately also mean preventing the service operator from taking the safest route. Even if he has positive knowledge of the recipient&#8217;s language skills and a translation would then be unnecessary, there is a risk that the recipient will (unjustifiably) refuse acceptance. A dispute about the legitimacy of the refusal to accept (see Geimer\/Sch\u00fctze\/Geimer, Europ\u00e4isches Zivilverfahrensrecht, 4th ed., <a href=\"https:\/\/dejure.org\/gesetze\/ZVO\/8.html\" title=\"Art. 8 ZVO: Verweigerung der Annahme eines Schriftst&uuml;cks\">Art. 8 EuZVO<\/a> para. 9 ff) can considerably delay the proceedings.

The background to such a dishonest approach is &#8211; obviously &#8211; not least the potential for blackmail associated with such an approach. This is because the party that finds itself &#8211; in breach of the jurisdiction agreement &#8211; exposed to a foreign lawsuit is regularly forced to take action abroad through lawyers in order to avoid legal disadvantages.
