Abstract: The decision “Pula Parking”, rendered by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on March 9, 2017, deals with the recovery and enforcement of an unpaid debt resulting from the use of a public parking space. The main issue of the case is the question whether a Croatian notary, who is authorized under Croatian law to issue a writ of execution, qualifies as a “court or tribunal” responsible for “decisions or judgments” within the meaning of Regulation No 1215/2012 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters**. In the past, the ECJ has never addressed this particular issue concerning the interpretation of the Regulation. Consequently, the ruling will serve as a landmark decision for future cases.Keywords: Brussels I bis Regulation, “civil and commercial matters”, term “court”, Croatian public notary.Resumen: La decisión “Estacionamiento de Pula”, presentada por el Tribunal de Justicia de las Comunidades Europeas (TJUE) el 9 de marzo de 2017, trata de la recuperación y el cumplimiento de una deuda pendiente de pago derivada del uso de un estacionamiento público. La cuestión principal del caso es la cuestión de si un notario croata, autorizado por la legislación croata a emitir un mandamiento de ejecución, califica como un órgano jurisdiccional responsable de “decisiones o sentencias” en el sentido del Reglamento no 1215 / 2012 sobre jurisdicción y reconocimiento y ejecución de resoluciones judiciales en materia civil y mercantil **. En el pasado, el TJCE nunca se ha ocupado de esta cuestión particular relacionada con la interpretación del Reglamento. En consecuencia, el fallo servirá como una decisión histórica para casos futuros.Palabras clave: Reglamento Bruselas I bis, materia civil y mercantile, término “tribunal”, notario público croata.
