Jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition and enforcement of measures and cooperation in matters relating to the protection of adults

This procedure establishes common rules to determine which courts have jurisdiction and which laws apply when protecting adults who cannot take care of themselves. It aims to ensure that legal measures taken in one EU country are recognized and enforced in others, providing legal certainty for vulnerable adults moving across borders.

This affects adults requiring legal protection, their families, and legal professionals. It streamlines the process for courts and authorities to cooperate across borders to safeguard the rights and well-being of protected persons.
