Cross-border cases became more complex this year after the Brexit transition period ended without a deal on civil justice.

Consequently, the rules on establishing forum and jurisdiction have changed considerably, while access to the Brussels I (Recast) procedure for recognition and enforcement of judgments is no longer available.

Writing in NLJ this week, barristers Alexander Layton QC and Andrew Dinsmore study the post-Brexit landscape for jurisdiction and enforcement of foreign judgments. As well as considering the current position, they look ahead to future developments, such as potential accession to the Lugano Convention.
