Cross-Border Litigation in England and Wales: New Data - Brexit Implications – Preliminary Research Findings

Professor Mihail Danov Cross-Border Litigation in England and Wales: New Data - Brexit Implications – Preliminary Research Findings Abstract: The presentation of the relevant preliminary research findings is made within the framework of a pilot study financed by the UoE Centre for Commercial and Corporate Law. The purpose of this pilot study is to measure the expected initial impact of Brexit on parties’ strategies which will in turn have a bearing on the litigants’ access to legal remedies (as well as on settlement dynamics) in cross-border disputes. The newly generated data will enable us to consider the correlation between a possible change in the legal landscape and the parties’ alternative strategies as well as to analyse the relationship between the litigants’ tactics and private parties’ access to justice in cross-border cases before the English and Welsh courts. The pilot study involves also Professor Paul Beaumont and Dr Jayne Holliday from the University of Aberdeen. Subject to the AHRC funding, we are hoping to organise a series of workshops at the Centre for Commercial Law Studies – Queen Mary University of London
