Excluding the UK from the Lugano Convention on recognition of judgments would have major consequences for weaker parties seeking justice in their own courts, lawyers have said.
The European Commission last week told EU member states that the UK’s accession to the 2007 agreement, which sets out which countries can hear cross-border disputes and which decisions can be enforced, should be barred.
Without the convention’s framework, parties seeking redress for an incident which took place elsewhere in Europe cannot obtain enforceable court orders in their own country. Instead, they have to return to the country in question to fight their case.
