Operative part of the judgment
The provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1896/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 creating a European order for payment procedure, read in conjunction with those of Regulation (EC) No 1393/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 November 2007 on the service in the Member States of judicial and extrajudicial documents in civil or commercial matters,
must be interpreted as not precluding national legislation under which, where a European order for payment has not been served on the defendant or has not been served on him or her in a manner which complies with the minimum standards laid down in Articles 13 to 15 of Regulation No 1896/2006, the court before which a remedy against that order is sought is obliged to annul that order.
