On 31 December 2020 United Kingdom withdrew from the European Union (“EU” or “the Union”). With the United Kingdom’s withdrawal, the Unions common rules on civil procedural matter cease to apply to litigation involving UK counterparties.
Whilst a hard Brexit was avoided when the EU and the UK on 24 December 2020 completed the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the agreement is silent on the future relationship regarding amongst other jurisdiction and recognition and enforcement.
As such, the UK’s departure from the EU has significant consequences for litigation in the UK and Denmark alike.
Lundgrens' Dispute Resolution team has written an article which examines the impact of Brexit on choice of court and law, recognition and enforcement, and security for costs.
