DECISION ON JURISDICTIONAL PRELIMINARY OBJECTION – SUCCESSFUL DISMISSAL BASED ON CIVIL PROCEDURE RULES

By: ANTONIS GEORGIOU Dec. 23, 2024

Antonis Georgiou successfully argued for the dismissal of a jurisdictional preliminary objection raised by the respondent. The objection claimed that the Cypriot court lacked jurisdiction over the case, as the parties involved were American citizens with no ties to Cyprus. Antonis Georgiou effectively demonstrated that the respondent had failed to comply with the strict requirements under the new Civil Procedure Rules for raising such objections. The court agreed with the arguments presented, emphasizing that the objection was invalid due to procedural lapses. This ruling reinforced the importance of adhering to the procedural rules in jurisdictional matters, ensuring the integrity of the court's authority.
