Cofola International 2020. Brexit and its Consequences

Kapitola

Abstrakt

The article demonstrates whether Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements and Brussels I bis Regulation are comparable legal instruments as far as choice of court agreements are concerned. The article analyses the mutual features of the two legal instruments as well as their divergences in terms of choice of court agreements. Therefore, the material and geographical scopes of application, the definition of “a choice of court agreement”, the effects of choice of court agreements as well as the process of the recognition and enforcement under both legal regulations shall be compared. The main goal of this article is to demonstrate that Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements does not present a complete and comprehensive solution in terms of choice of court agreements when compared to Brussels I bis Regulation.
