International Commercial Litigation

Evaluate your understanding and application of International Commercial Litigation principles, including transnational issues and limitations arising in court-based dispute settlement within Europe and beyond, with an emphasis on litigation, civil procedure, allocation of jurisdiction, and litigant strategies. You are expected to demonstrate your proficiency in constructing logical, well-organised arguments that are easy to follow. Additionally, you will be evaluated on your capacity to integrate different viewpoints, present original insights on topics covered, and support your analysis with primary and secondary sources.

This Assessment Pack consists of a detailed assignment brief, guidance on what you need to prepare, and information on how class sessions support your ability to complete successfully.

Assessment Question

"The common law adopts a different theory......[which] attempts to determine which court is more appropriate to hear the case...The advantage of this approach is that it tries to find a rational solution. Its disadvantage is that there is a large measure of subjectivity involved, which means that the two courts may reach different conclusions even if they apply the same criteria."

With reference to the above quotation, undertake a critical assessment and comparison between the rules relating to jurisdiction in international business under European law and those under the English common law. Book your writer now for solution!
