On 11 December 2018, the Dutch Senate approved the legislation creating the Netherlands Commercial Court (NCC District Court and NCC Court of Appeal) as part of the Amsterdam courts. A few days later, the Minister issued the requisite decree, and the NCC legislation entered into force on 1 January 2019. That means the NCC is now open for business.

We have updated this site. The site now provides information on a broad range of relevant topics, such as key features, jurisdiction, rules, costs and enforcement. For convenience of reference, we have also posted the NCC model clause, which may be included in contracts, in the “Procedure” area on the site.

Discussions are ongoing on how and when eNCC will be fully implemented. Until further notice, documents may be submitted in hard copy to the NCC Registry at the NCC mailing address, or as appropriate by email to NCC@rechtspraak.nl.  

The updated website also features a short video that explains what NCC is all about. Check it out today.

We’ll keep you posted. The next Update is scheduled for February, but may be sent earlier as needed. If you have any questions, please contact us at NCC@rechtspraak.nl.
