Hague 19 entered into force in the UK on 1 July. Writing in this week’s NLJ, Chris Deacon, international injury partner, Stewarts, examines its benefits and limitations

Deacon writes: ‘While the UK’s adoption of Hague 2019 is a constructive step forward, it has several limitations for individuals, consumers and victims seeking access to justice. It will not plug the gaps that remain following Brexit for the victims of accidents abroad in the EU.’

The author identifies what these limitations and gaps are, and explains their significance. He provides examples of these, and sets out his recommendations for change including re-accession to Lugano or bilateral arrangements with EU countries.
