More information about Floor Veldhuis

Floor is conducting research in the field of attachment and enforcement law. She is working on a dissertation on the transparency of assets in the enforcement phase, examining the possibilities to gain insight into a debtor’s financial situation and whether these are sufficient in view of the right to an effective enforcement as protected by Article 6 ECHR. Information on the debtor’s financial situation ensures that it is clear whether the debtor is unable or unwilling to pay and allows appropriate and proportionate measures of attachment or enforcement to be taken.

Floor is also conducting research in other areas of civil (procedural) law. She is particularly interested in collective redress (Dutch Collective Redress of Mass Damages Act; WAMCA), liability law, contract law and private and public international law. She regularly publishes in professional journals. Floor is co-author of the 27th edition of a standard guide to Dutch procedural law known under the name Hugenholtz/Heemskerk.  

Floor graduated cum laude from Leiden University in 2017. She proceeded to work for more than four years as an attorney in the (Supreme Court) litigation team of Pels Rijcken. Her work included litigating before district and appellate courts, and the Supreme Court, in proceedings ranging from summary proceedings to large class actions. Floor has also previously worked as a (guest) lecturer at Leiden University.
