Cross-border personal injury litigation: light at the end of the Brexit tunnel?

1. The discretionary forum conveniens jurisdiction
2. Current issues and developments regarding enforcement of English judgments abroad and of foreign judgments in England
3. The Hague Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments which has recently entered into force in both the UK and the EU
4. Choice of law issues, including Nicholls v Mapfre Espana Compania de Seguros y Reaseguros SA [2024] EWCA Civ 718 and Lunn v Antarctic Logistics Centre [2024] EWHC 1662 (KB)
