Article 4

Jurisdiction in cases of separation of the partners

The courts of a Member State seised by an application for dissolution or annulment of a registered

partnership shall also have jurisdiction, if the partners so agree, to rule on the property

consequences arising in connection with the application.

Such an agreement may be concluded at any time, even during the proceedings. If it is concluded

before the proceedings, it must be drawn up in writing and dated and signed by both parties.

Failing agreement between the partners, jurisdiction is governed by Article 5.
