Long Arms and Sharp Elbows: Jurisdiction after 31 December 2020

Zoom webinar

13th January 2021

From 1 January 2021, the United Kingdom’s jurisdictional rules concerning Defendants domiciled in the remaining 27 EU Member States will see their biggest change since the early 1980s.

  • Repeal of the Brussels Regulation (recast);
  • The rules governing the taking of jurisdiction by the English Courts from 1 January 2021;
  • The transitional provisions (largely for claims commenced on or before 31 December 2020);
  • The United Kingdom’s possible future accession to the Lugano Convention; and
  • The applicability and effect of the Hague Convention.


Please RSVP by close of business on Monday 11th January
