This module will give students an understanding of the core issues relevant to international commercial litigation in a common law context. By way of contrast, consideration will also be given to the differing approaches to jurisdiction in civil and commercial law matters as employed in common law and civil law legal systems. Topics covered will include tag jurisdiction, subject matter jurisdiction, long arm jurisdiction, the doctrines of forum non conveniens and lis alibi pendens. The role of anti-suit injunctions will be analysed as will the different approaches to the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgements in the UK, US and EU. Finally there will be an evaluation of the Hague Judgments Project and the resultant 2005 Choice of Court Convention.
