Bettina Knoetzl and Judith Schacherreiter participated in the 3rd IBA Litigation Committee Conference on Private International Law in Milan, Italy. The topics of this year’s conference included an examination of the likely impact of Brexit on jurisdiction and private international law, the mushrooming of International Commercial Courts throughout Europe and the effect of sanctions on politics, law and economics.
Due to its actuality and explosive effect,
Brexit and its legal effects were pervasive in almost all panel
discussions and off-the-record
talks during
receptions and coffee breaks.
The theme resounded, yet again, that Brexit implies inestimable consequences
and troublesome legal uncertainty in international litigation as well.
