Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Now in its eighth edition, this well-established and respected book by Adrian Briggs continues to deliver a full and complete statement of English law on civil jurisdiction and judgments. As the United Kingdom will now not be re-joining the Lugano Convention, the treatment of judgments from EU Member States and the Lugano States has been reduced, and the jurisdictional rules of Brussels/Lugano regime are now dealt with only in outline. This eighth edition untangles and re-ties the loose ends left over from the process of disengagement from the European Union and restates the law of jurisdiction and judgments as it must be understood today.

Significant new material includes an expanded treatment of the increased opportunities for service out of the jurisdiction with and without permission, and of the 2019 Hague Judgments Convention, in effect for the United Kingdom from 1 July 2025. Otherwise recent developments - of which there have been many - across the field of jurisdiction and judgments in civil and commercial matters, are examined in proper detail.

This rigorously updated new edition reasserts its position as an authoritative and comprehensive reference for all lawyers and legal practitioners working in the broad area of commercial litigation.
