Following continental European traditions, the Brussels Ia Regulation forms a rigid regime of mandatory heads of jurisdiction, generally not providing jurisdictional discretion. Nonetheless, to some limited extent, the Brussels regime includes discretional elements, in particular when it comes to lis pendens (see Articles 30, 33 and 34 of Brussels Ia). Reconsidering the strong scepticism towards forum non conveniens stipulated by the CJEU in its Owusu case, the fundamental question arises whether a substantial form of discretion concerning jurisdictional competence might be (in)compatible with the core principles of the Brussels regime.

布鲁塞尔 Ia 条例中的自由裁量要素

遵循欧洲大陆的传统，布鲁塞尔 Ia 条例形成了强制管辖权负责人的严格制度，通常不提供管辖权自由裁量权。尽管如此，布鲁塞尔制度在一定程度上包含了自由裁量因素，特别是在未决案件方面（见布鲁塞尔 Ia 第30、33和 34 条）。重新考虑对欧盟法院在其Owusu案中规定的不方便法院的强烈怀疑，出现了一个基本问题，即关于管辖权的实质性自由裁量权形式是否可能（不）符合布鲁塞尔制度的核心原则。
