Description
This session will give a perspective on the work of the Hague Conference’s jurisdiction project which, following the success of the Choice of Courts Convention and the Judgments Convention, is now working on a new instrument on parallel proceedings. We will examine the potential impact of any new convention in the context of growing jurisdictional protectionism.
