Review of the Brussels I Regulation - How should the UK approach the negotiations

Overview

Reference number: CP18/10

The Government is seeking views on the European Commission’s proposals to repeal and replace the current Brussels I Regulation.

The Regulation is concerned with private international law matters that arise in the context of jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters.

The Regulation concerns uniform rules to settle conflicts of jurisdiction, facilitate the mutual recognition and enforcement of judgments, settlements and authentic instruments within the European Union. The Regulation also includes rules to assist courts in settling jurisdictional matters.

The consultation seeks the views of interested individuals and organisations as to how the United Kingdom should approach the negotiations to the revised Regulation.
