The Lord Chancellor has been designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972(1) in relation to jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments(2).
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Lord Chancellor that it is expedient for the reference to Council Regulation (EC) No. 44/2001 of 22nd December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters to be construed as a reference to that instrument as amended from time to time.
The Lord Chancellor makes these Regulations under the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972(3).
1972 c.68. Under section 57(1) of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46), despite the transfer to Scottish Ministers of functions in relation to implementing obligations under Community law in relation to devolved matters, the function of the Lord Chancellor in relation to implementing those obligations continues to be exercisable by him as regards Scotland.
