Stefan Ramel, Christopher Hare and Govinder Chambay to host seminar in partnership with MBL – Mutual Recognition of Judgments – From the Hague to Lugano Conventions

28/04/2025

Guildhall Chambers Barristers Stefan Ramel, Christopher Hare and Govinder Chambay will host a seminar on April 29th titled “Mutual Recognition of Judgments – From the Hague to Lugano Conventions” in partnership with MBL.

Introduction

This virtual classroom seminar will consider five of the most encountered routes that litigants can use to obtain recognition of foreign judgments in England and Wales.

The session will also address how the availability of these routes has been affected by Brexit, as well as touching briefly on some, limited, general and high-level guidance on the steps that a judgment creditor with a judgment of a court or tribunal in England and Wales can take to get the judgment recognised in a foreign jurisdiction, and the consequences of recognition.

This session is ideal for practitioners seeking to grasp the array of tools available for recognizing and enforcing foreign judgments in England and Wales, understand the steps to initiate litigation in the desired jurisdiction, and determine the most suitable tool for the task.

This session covers a broad range of material, so it doesn’t target those seeking an in-depth analysis of a specific convention.

What You Will Learn

This live and interactive session will cover the following:

  • How to identify in which jurisdiction litigation will take place
  • Understand the current application and limits of five international conventions, including:
    • Hague Convention 2005
    • UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency
    • Lugano Convention
    • Brussels Judgments Regulation (Recast)
    • European Insolvency Regulation (Recast)
  • The common law as it applies to the recognition of foreign judgments
  • Limited practical guidance on how to enforce judgments obtained in this jurisdiction in foreign jurisdictions
