Whether and to what extent is a foreign forum selection clause enforceable?

Taiwan's legal system bears an obvious imprint of the Continental Law.

In a recent decision, the Taiwan IP Court rendered a new perspective on the test of determining whether a Taiwan court has jurisdiction over a foreign defendant whose products are sold to Taiwan via its website.

An attachment order may be applied for before filing litigation to ensure that the defendant's assets are not improperly transferred, hidden, or disposed of.

With an increasing number of cases being brought against Taiwan companies, it’s important to consider how to make that future judgment worth something. With Taiwan’s relatively unique diplomatic isolation, it can be often helpful to get advice at a couple of key junctures: before getting into a contract with a Taiwan party and before commencing litigation against a Taiwan party.
