How to choose the most beneficial enforcement regime for cross-border claims of a client? A question considerably complicated by (1) the existence of various European Union enforcement tools and (2) particularities in the national legal systems that impact on the operation and suitability of the various enforcement tools. This book compares and ana...

The aim of this Article is to assess the preferences of parties to Latin American international business transactions when they choose the law governing their contracts. For that purpose, the authors have conducted an empirical analysis of data that they were able to gather from arbitral institutions active in Latin America, with a focus on years 2...

Over the course of the last few decades, the European legislature has adopted a total of 18 Regulations in the area of private international law, including civil procedure. The resulting substantial legislative unification has been described as the first true 'Europeanisation' of private international law, and even as a kind of 'European Choice of...

Le juge français ne peut refuser d’examiner un rapport d’expertise judiciaire étranger qui n’a pas été établi au contradictoire du défendeur, lorsque, régulièrement versé aux débats et soumis à la discussion contradictoire des parties, il est corroboré par d’autres éléments de preuve ; une telle preuve supplémentaire peut être constituée par les mo...

Une saisie conservatoire autorisée par un juge français, qui rend les biens saisis juridiquement indisponibles, ne contrarie pas une injonction Mareva ordonnée par un juge chypriote, qui a pour objet d’empêcher que le débiteur n’organise son insolvabilité en lui faisant interdiction de disposer de ses biens sous peine de sanctions civiles et pénale...

Une mesure d’expertise destinée à conserver ou établir la preuve de faits dont pourrait dépendre la solution du litige, ordonnée en référé avant tout procès sur le fondement de l’article 145 CPC, constitue une mesure provisoire au sens de l’article 35 du règlement Bruxelles I bis ou de l’article 31 de la convention de Lugano du 16 septembre 1988, q...

C’est en application de l’Accord d’entraide judiciaire en matière civile et commerciale du 4 mai 1987 entre la France et la Chine que doit être appréciée la régularité en France d’une décision rendue par une juridiction chinoise (1). M. X c/ M me Y

Cet article présente les questions de droit international privé soulevées par la procédure d’ordonnance européenne de saisie conservatoire des comptes bancaires instaurée par le règlement (UE) n° 655/2014. Après avoir présenté le champ d’application du règlement, il étudie les règles de compétence internationale directe, de conflit de lois et d’eff...

L’article 27, § 1, et l’article 30, point 1, du règlement Bruxelles I, doivent être interprétés en ce sens que, en cas de litispendance, la date à laquelle a été engagée une procédure tendant à obtenir une mesure d’instruction avant tout procès ne peut pas constituer la date à laquelle « est réputée saisie », au sens dudit article 30, point 1, une...

This Article aims to contribute to a better understanding of the international contracting process by unveiling the factors that influence international commercial actors when they choose the law that governs their transactions. Based on an empirical study of more than 4,400 international contracts by approximately 12,000 parties who participated i...

This is the second title in the new Oxford International and Comparative Insolvency Law Series. Virtually any insolvency needs to deal with the matter of contractual obligations and this book focuses on the extent to which insolvency law interferes with those obligations and relationships. As with the first volume in the series, the topic is addres...

One of the most remarkable developments in international commercial law over the last fifty years has been the gradual acceptance of the existence of a new merchant ‘law’, or lex mercatoria, spontaneously generated by the international community in the shadow of national legal orders. While the notion that there might be law beyond the state arouse...

This is a short casenote of the decision of the French Supreme Court of September 26th, 2012, which found that one-sided jurisdiction clauses are void for being binding on one party only, and are thus contrary to the purpose of Article 23 of the Brussels I Regulation. The first part of the note discusses the private international law aspects of the...

This article analyses the nature of the relief pending final determination that is provided for by Article 13 of the Cape Town Convention. It contends that the language and legislative history of Article 13 do not allow a final conclusion on the nature of Article 13 relief to be reached. Article 13 can be characterised as a hybrid between a final r...

After the European Council announced that it wanted to suppress intermediate measures in the enforcement of foreign judgments within the European Union, the European Commission has proposed to abolish the procedure whereby courts of the Member states may verify whether foreign judgments meet some basic requirements of the forum (exequatur). The pro...

In Sabeh el Leil v. France , the European Court of Human Rights (‘‘ECtHR’’ or ‘‘the Court’’) ruled for the second time that a contracting state had violated the right to a fair trial afforded by Article 6 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (‘‘Convention’’) by denying access to its courts to an emb...

Modern theorists are concerned with the development of private lawmaking. Private powers increasingly legislate for themselves, and one could fear that the autonomy that they might gain as a consequence might be misused. While the breadth of the production of private norms is a fact which can barely be disputed, the goal pursued by private powers i...

This note discusses the conflicting decisions rendered by the UK Supreme Court and the Paris Court of Appeal in Dallah v. Pakistan. In this case, English courts denied recognition to an ICC arbitral award made in Paris for lack of jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal over the Government of Pakistan, while French courts rejected a challenge against...

Since 2005, the French supreme court has ruled that the “rule of estoppel” is part of the French law of arbitration, and prevents parties from contradicting themselves when challenging arbitral awards before French courts. This Article explores why the French supreme court found it useful to openly borrow a common law doctrine while the application...

»Vielmehr bietet [der Kommentar] auf höchstem Niveau eine substantielle Auseinandersetzung mit den Hintergründen, den Zusammenhängen, der Theorie und der Praxis des Grundgesetzes. Besseres lässt sich von einem Verfassungskommentar nicht sagen.“ Herbert Günther Staaatsanzeiger für das Land Hessen 2018 (50), 1494–1495

Before describing the content of Luxembourgish law, it is important to insist on the peculiarity of the legal system of Luxembourg. Luxembourg is a small country, and thus a small jurisdiction. As a consequence, courts handle a limited number of cases, and case law is therefore rare. When a fi eld of the law is almost entirely judge-made, this resu...

After the European Council called for the reduction of intermediate measures necessary for the enforcement of judgments, the European Commission has initiated a process of gradual abolition of exequatur in the European Union. The exequatur procedure, however, serves the important purpose of preventing the enforcement of foreign judgments made in vi...

Les clauses d’élection de for ont une importance considérable dans le contentieux international. Leur efficacité dépend toutefois de leur sanction. Depuis une dizaine d’années, les juges anglais et espagnols ont accepté d’octroyer des dommages et intérêts aux parties ayant été poursuivies devant un juge non élu en violation d’un accord sur la compé...

Choice of court agreements have long been regarded as critically important in international trade. Their usefulness, however, is conditional upon the availability of efficient remedies in case of breach. In the last 10 years English and Spanish courts have awarded damages. This paper presents briefly these cases, and then discusses whether damages...

This is a case note on the Gambazzi decision of the European Court of Justice. Marco Gambazzi was excluded from English proceedings for non complying with interim measures. As a consequence, he was ordered to pay hundreds of millions of Euros without trial. This note discusses the two issues addressed by the Advocate General and the Court. The firs...

In most cases, awards are either paid in a way which satisfies the award creditor, or not paid at all. When awards are paid to the satisfaction of all involved parties, no issue arises. When the award debtor does not want to pay, the award creditor may seek enforcement of the award. There are, however, instances where performance may raise issues i...

Arbitration is a creature of contract. It is a mode of dispute resolution which is only available to parties who have agreed to resort to it. Yet, it is widely perceived as the most suitable and the dominant method for the settlement of international commercial disputes. Why is it, then, that parties must opt in for a solution which appears as the...

The recognition of foreign judgments lacking reasons raises several policy issues. Reason-giving is perceived by the European Court of Human Rights as critical to ensure an effective access to justice. Yet, foreign judgments often lack reasons because the defendant failed to appear before the foreign court, and it may be right to sanction this stra...

Parallel litigation has become a recurrent issue in foreign investment disputes. International tribunals have consistently addressed the issue through the essentially civil law institution of lis pendens. The article argues that lis pendens has no legitimacy to be the tool dealing with parallel litigation in an international setting. To begin with,...

The Convention on Contracts for International Sale of Goods was supposed to increase legal certainty and to reduce the transaction costs of international buyers and sellers. The paper argues that none of these goals has been met. A survey of 181 court decisions and arbitral awards applying the CISG shows that the vast majority of international buye...

On 1 March 2005 the European Court of Justice in Owusu v Jackson held that the English doctrine of forum non conveniens was inconsistent with the Brussels Convention (the ‘Convention’) when a defendant was domiciled in the United Kingdom, even if the natural forum was in a Non-Contracting State.
