SCC Supports: Brussels I Bis in Practice: Arbitration, State Immunity, Parallel Proceedings, Enforcement

How can the Regulation be used for effective litigation? What difficulties may arise? How can proceedings be supported or hindered with the help of the Regulation? What applies to anti-suit injunctions (and anti-anti-suit injunctions)? What questions may arise when a dispute concerns the actions of a state? What applies to the enforcement of judgments and arbitral awards?

The SCC proudly supports this seminar which is open to lawyers who wish to increase their knowledge and practical skills in the subject, and entitles participants to 5 hours of continuing legal education. Relevant material will be emailed to registered participants before the seminar. Participants are also encouraged to submit questions in advance for a so-called Tylney Hall session, where a panel of speakers will discuss and answer them.
