  • Pending Litigation, Impending Brexit: What Next for Dispute Resolution Clauses?
    October 2020 Pending litigation, impending Brexit: What next for dispute resolution clauses? There has been a recent influx of cases before the English courts in relation to jurisdiction to determine a dispute. Whether this is linked to the impending departure of the UK from the European Union or whether this is just a coincidence is unclear. What is apparent is that this complex area of law is about to become increasingly complicated as well as contentious. Selecting a future-proof dispute resolution clause is never easy. In the current uncertain times, it is particularly challenging. In this article, we highlight the key issues to be aware of from a review of recent case law. What are the key differences between the Under the Lugano Convention (and earlier Brussels legislative instruments in the European Regulation3), if parties commence parallel Regime? proceedings in the courts of contracting states, priority is always given to the court first seised. That An outline of the European Regime (including the is the case whether the court first seised is the Hague Choice of Court Convention 2005, the “Hague chosen court in a jurisdiction clause or not. All other Convention”) is available in our Brexit Disputes courts must then stay proceedings until the court guide here . By way of a brief reminder, the Brussels first seised determines jurisdiction. This is known as Recast1 will no longer apply to the UK from the end the “lis alibi pendens” rule. The rule is open to abuse of the transition period (31 December 2020). The UK by a litigation tactic called the “Italian Torpedo”, has applied to join the Lugano Convention 20072 but where a party deliberately commences proceedings has not yet received the consent of the other in a slow-moving jurisdiction (in breach of a contracting states (notably the EU).

    Book Le droit de suite et sa reconnaissance selon la Convention de La Haye sur les trusts : "tracing" en droit civil suisse PANNATIER KESSLER, Delphine Abstract Aux frontières du droit des trusts, des droits réels, du droit des obligations, du droit bancaire et du droit international privé, cette thèse étudie la question très controversée de la reconnaissance en Suisse du droit de suite (tracing), selon la Convention de La Haye sur le droit applicable au trust et à sa reconnaissance. Elle démontre que le droit de suite, action du droit des trusts de nature réelle proche de la rei vindicatio, doit être reconnu en Suisse moyennant quelques adaptations, notamment dans les cas où des avoirs bancaires ou des titres intermédiés sont visés. En plus de l’examen des aspects dogmatiques, la thèse apporte aux praticiens des solutions concrètes de fond et de procédure en vue de faciliter la mise en œuvre du droit de suite en Suisse.
