Abstract
This article deals with the residual scope of art. 7 of Law no. 218/1995 on lis pendens after the adoption, in recent past years, of numerous EU acts. In fact, the national provisions of member States have progressively reduced their importance especially after the entry into force of Brussels I-bis regulation, whose arts 33 and 34 provide for rules applicable to proceedings pending before judges of third States. The author first examines such new regime and its underlying reasons, secondly its impact on art. 7 of Law no. 218/1995, and finally discusses the option of a future revision of the same rule, in line with the content of the European rule.
