A New Chapter For The Recognition Of Post-Brexit English Judgments

Switzerland embraces the Hague Convention on the choice of court agreements to be in force on 1 January 2025. A wider recognition of choice of court agreements improves the predictability of cross-border dispute resolutions and reduces the costs they generate and is therefore crucial to international trade. Switzerland's adherence to this international convention once again demonstrates its commitment to enhancing cooperation in civil and commercial matters, as well as the attractiveness of Switzerland as an international place of jurisdiction and enforcement. With this development, a new era starts for the recognition of post-Brexit English judgments that will then be facilitated again.
