Description

It has now been three years since the UK withdrew from the EU’s jurisdiction and enforcement regime, hence it is a timely moment to take stock of how this has affected litigating around the EU. Is the jurisdiction and enforcement landscape more complicated? What about obtaining interim relief and seeking to enforce that around Europe? Are the old difficulties of parallel proceedings back on the agenda? Are there other consequences arising from Brexit? This panel will review matters from the perspectives of the UK, the EU27 and from a ‘third party’ standpoint.
