I'm excited to announce the publication of a chapter I co-authored with Olufemi Elias on "International Administrative Tribunals," featured in the "Research Handbook on International Procedural Law", edited by Joanna Gomula and Stephan Wittich. Our chapter is a comparative survey of procedural issues of international administrative tribunals, focusing on those of the United Nations, the International Labour Organization, and the World Bank.

Commercial litigation update klaxon 📢 : From January 2025, judgments from the Courts of England and Wales will be enforceable across all 29 states currently signed up to the 2019 Hague Convention (which includes EU member states and the USA). Great news for clients and lawyers alike! In the meantime, we are still required to navigate the complex structure of differing national laws, reciprocal agreements, and limits put place via the Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements. The 2019 Hague Convention will make English judgments enforceable in reciprocal states, some 4 years after the end of the transition period (post Brexit).

Enforcing tribunal-ordered interim measures is not always straightforward, as one recent Supreme Court of 🇨🇦 judgment on which I commented on the Wolters Kluwer: International Arbitration & Mediation Blog demonstrates. Having a clear legislative framework (like the one described in the 2006 UNCITRAL: United Nations Commission on International Trade Law Model Law) can certainly help. However this is not the case for some jurisdictions… How is the enforecement of interim measures dealt with in your jurisdiction? #internationalarbitration https://lnkd.in/eWNWrHZ3

It’s two weeks out from the annual meeting of the governing body of the #HCCH, the Council on General Affairs and Policy (CGAP). The HCCH is governed by its Members through its two governing bodies: - CGAP, which meets annually to review progress and set the work programme of the Organisation; - The Council of Diplomatic Representatives (CDR), the Organisation’s primary financial and budgetary authority, which meets annually to approve the HCCH’s budget and apportion expenses among Members. Every year, in the first full week of March, delegates of HCCH Members meet on the grounds of the Peace Palace in The Hague. This year, CGAP will hear the status of work in each of the three Divisions of the Permanent Bureau (PB): - International Family and Child Protection Law; - Transnational Litigation and Apostille; and - International Commercial, Digital and Financial (#CODIFI) Law. CGAP will also discuss and decide matters relating to the governance of the Organisation. Papers prepared by the PB and submitted to CGAP in advance of this meeting are available online at the link indicated below. These Preliminary Documents provide reports and proposals for CGAP’s consideration. Watch this space for the Conclusions and Decisions to CGAP this March — they will set the direction and work programme for the Organisation’s work towards the progressive unification of the rules of private international law.

Following years of dedicated preparations and extensive reforms, Croatia joined the European Union as its 28th Member State on 1 July 2013. Accession to the EU has played a pivotal role in modernising Croatia’s private law framework. While EU membership has undeniably brought about positive transformations, the process of transposing EU law has also accentuated fragmentation in the domestic private law system. Consequently, legal interpretation and application have become increasingly intricate, posing challenges for both practitioners and individuals attempting to navigate and comprehend the overall legal landscape. To mark Croatia’s first decade in the EU, within the framework of the European Law Institute (ELI) 2023 Annual Conference, the ELI Croatian Hub will host a panel on key developments and challenges in Croatia's private law system in the context of EU membership. The discussion will focus on consumer law (Professor Tatjana Josipović), company law and corporate governance (Professor Hana Horak), capital markets law (Professor Edita Čulinović Herc), family law (Professor Sandra Winkler), and the law of obligations (Dr Ivan Tot).
