Opinions are sought on the implementation of the Hague Conventions on the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in civil and commercial matters

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) launched a consultation last week on proposed amendments to the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) to facilitate the operation of the Hague Judgments Convention 2019 and the Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements 2005.

The UK signed Hague 2019 last month and will ratify it once the implementing framework is in place. It has been a contracting party to Hague 2005 since 2015.

The proposed amendments would affect CPR Part 74 and Practice Direction 74A. The proposals have been made by the CPR Committee, which has considered the implementing framework. The deadline for responses is 13 March. Read the ‘Consultation concerning Hague 2019 and Hague 2005 civil procedure rule amendments’ here.
