Gide Alert | Brexit | EU / UK | Dispute Resolution
With no provision for civil judicial cooperation in the Trade Agreement between the UK and the EU, the Brussels Recast Regulation no longer applies to cases commenced in England & Wales after 31 December 2020. The UK has also, effective 1 January 2021, acceded to the 2005 Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements in its own right. Previously the UK had been a party to the Hague Convention by virtue of membership of the EU.
In this alert, partner Rupert Reece and Daniel Holman from the International Dispute Resolution team at Gide London discuss the consequences of these changes for English jurisdiction clauses and judgments in cross-border matters involving EU Member States - and the options available for parties in this new post-Brexit regime.
