For some years now, certain EU Member States have been promoting their national courts as the best places to litigate cross-border commercial disputes. This has led to a competition between jurisdictions, which recently has been re-energised by the upcoming withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU. This civil justice competition affects, among other things, governments' policies, court organisation, and cross-border litigation strategies. Building on an interdisciplinary methodology, this book offers an in-depth theoretical and empirical research analysing the competition currently taking place between civil justice systems. It focuses in particular on the motivations and attitudes of governments and litigants, and presents the findings of a survey conducted with lawyers from the largest law firms in Europe. Contributing to the current debates in a novel way, this research will be a go-to-point for academics, policymakers and practitioners across the EU.

Top academics and experts from Europe, the US and Canada address these topics in a critical and multidisciplinary manner, combining legal, socio-legal and empirical insights. The book is part of ‘Building EU Civil Justice’, a fi...
This book studies three interrelated frontiers in civil justice from European and national perspectives, combining theory with policy and insights from practice: the interplay between private and public justice, the digitisation of justice, and litigation funding.

This book brings together articles from leading experts in the field of international dispute resolution. The main focus is on the situation in Asia, though the European perspective also plays an important part. Accordingly, the focus on the Asian dispute resolution market with a distinctly American and European “touch” is one of the book’s most unique features. The dispute resolution market is rapidly transforming, and dispute resolution law is changing with it –especially in Asia. This book highlights recent advances and outlines future trends in this area. Emphasis is especially placed on International Commercial Arbitration Law on the one hand; and on International Investment Arb...

This open access book explores how legal proceedings in and out-of-court can be matched to the complex problems underlying disputes concerning child custody, residence and contact between parents. It focusses in particular on Nordic experiences of in and out-of-court mechanisms as means of resolving custody disputes. The contributors are internationally renowned and experienced researchers from the legal, psychological, and sociological fields who provide empirical as well as legal perspectives. They examine central legal, ethical and knowledge-based dilemmas in custody dispute proceedings. The findings speak to an international audience and suggest ways how to best realize the interests of the child. It transcends disciplinary, institutional, and jurisdictional boundaries in search of new knowledge.

Die deutsche Handelsgerichtsbarkeit steht im Wettbewerb mit internationalen staatlichen und privaten Konfliktlosungsmechanismen. Als Reaktion wurde bereits im Jahr 2009 ein Gesetzesentwurf erarbeitet, der die Zulassung der englischen Sprache vor sogenannten Kammern fur internationale Handelssachen ermoglichen sollte. Nicole Grohmann beschaftigt sich mit der Frage, ob der Gesetzesentwurf im Jahr 2021 noch zeitgemass ist, um auf den Wettbewerb der Justizstandorte zu reagieren. Unter Berucksichtigung der Bedurfnisse internationaler wirtschaftsrechtlicher Streitigkeiten sowie durch eine Analyse der wichtigsten Handelsjustizstandorte wie London, Singapur oder Amsterdam erarbeitet sie ein Konzept fur die Internationalisierung der deutschen Handelsgerichtsbarkeit, um die Verfahrensfuhrung vor den Kammern fur Handelssachen zu optimieren, und unterbreitet einen Vorschlag fur eine wettbewerbsfahige Justiz fur nationale sowie internationale Handelssachen.
