The Sup.Ct. admitted a garnishment in the Netherlands and jurisdiction to validate it (applying Art. 767 CCPr. per analogiam) as this did not change anything in the dealing with the main action, which had been submitted to arbitration in The Hague, “in such a situation, which can also occur when a foreign judgment is enforceable in the Netherlands under a treaty, the debtor is not diverted from the Court which has jurisdiction over the main action”Google Scholar.

5. Art. 429 c CCPr. reads as follows:

(1) the Court of the domicile, or if there is none in the Netherlands, of the actual residence of the petitioner has jurisdiction (…). If there is no domicile or actual residence in the Netherlands, the Court of The Hague has jurisdiction (in this para, “has jurisdiction” stands for is bevoegd, which pertains to domestic territorial jurisdiction or venue).

(2) The court has no jurisdiction, if the petition is unsufficiently connected with the legal atmosphere of the Netherlands (in this para, “jurisdiction” stands for rechtsmacht, which means international jurisdiction).
