Brussels Convention
An international convention of 1968 that determines which courts will have jurisdiction in relation to international disputes (see foreign judgments). Generally, if a contract provides that a certain country’s courts will hear any disputes that arise, this will be respected. The Convention also provides rules when the parties have not chosen a forum for their disputes. Many EU states are individually a party to the Convention; the UK signed up to it in 1978 and enacted it into national law in 1982.
