Reconciling Transnational Jurisdiction available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The U.S. Supreme Court, in a series of recent cases, has restricted personal jurisdiction over corporate defendants -- and foreign corporations in particular. The Supreme Court's restrictions are -- although a peripheral concern -- motivated by an interest for international comity and an effort to bring US jurisdiction rules more in line with other nations' laws. However, an in-depth comparative analysis between the EU Brussels Regulation and U.S. Supreme Court opinions reveals that the Supreme Court's decisions remain deeply grounded in the traditional U.S. paradigm of personal jurisdiction. The persisting differences help explain why further harmonization of U.S. jurisdiction rules with EU law remains difficult. Predictability appears to have different meanings to the EU legislator and the U.S. Supreme Court. For the Supreme Court, predictability comes at the price of restricting both general and specific jurisdiction to limit exposure of the alien defendant to fewer potential forums. The Brussels Regulation in contrast provides a lengthy, but exhaustive, list of special heads of jurisdiction. It thereby extends what U.S. law would call specific jurisdiction and takes into account the interests of defendants, plaintiffs, and the forum State, both as a matter of public policy and sovereignty. Hence, the Regulation's use of clearly defined connecting factors in lieu of imprecise legal terms, combined with European rejection of judicial discretion, could serve as a model to mitigate the shortcomings of the current U.S. regime.

Download and read online ebook Remedies against Immunity? write by Valentina Volpe. This book was released on 2021-04-08. Remedies against Immunity? available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The open access book examines the consequences of the Italian Constitutional Court’s Judgment 238/2014 which denied the German Republic’s immunity from civil jurisdiction over claims to reparations for Nazi crimes committed during World War II. This landmark decision created a range of currently unresolved legal problems and controversies which continue to burden the political and diplomatic relationship between Germany and Italy. The judgment has wide repercussions for core concepts of international law and for the relationship between different legal orders. The book’s three interlinked legal themes are state immunity, reparation for serious human rights violations and war crimes (including historical ones), and the interaction between international and domestic institutions, notably courts. Besides a meticulous legal analysis of these themes from the perspectives of international law, European law, and domestic law, the book contributes to the civic debate on the issue of war crimes and reparation for the victims of armed conflict. It proposes concrete legal and political solutions to the parties involved for overcoming the present paralysis with a view to a sustainable interstate conflict solution and helps judges directly involved in the pending post-Sentenza reparation cases. After an Introduction (Part I), Part II, Immunity, investigates core international law concepts such as those of pre/post-judgment immunity and international state responsibility. Part III, Remedies, examines the tension between state immunity and the right to remedy and suggests original schemes for solving the conundrum under international law. Part IV adds European Perspectives by showcasing relevant regional examples of legal cooperation and judicial dialogue. Part V, Courts, addresses questions on the role of judges in the areas of immunity and human rights at both the national and international level. Part VI, Negotiations, suggests concrete ways out of the impasse with a forward-looking aspiration. In Part VII, The Past and Future of Remedies, a sitting judge in the Court that decided Sentenza 238/2014 adds some critical reflections on the Judgment. Joseph H. H. Weiler’s Dialogical Epilogue concludes the volume by placing the main findings of the book in a wider European and international law perspective.

Download and read online ebook Jurisdiction in International Litigation write by Mary Keyes. This book was released on 2005. Jurisdiction in International Litigation available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Transport and communications technologies have made international disputes common, and a frequent practical issue is which country or countries have jurisdiction to resolve the dispute. Existing literature on private international law tends to emphasize choice of law rather than jurisdiction. Cases tend to show that the practical significance of Jurisdiction has yet to be appreciated. This groundbreaking book fills in these gaps and offers a critical analysis of the principles and the theoretical foundations applied to resolve private international jurisdictional disputes and of the manner in which those principles are applied in practice by: Describing the context in which international jurisdiction disputes are determined Explaining and critically analysing the principles of jurisdiction Explaining and critically analysing the manner in which the principles are applied Identifying the interests which motivate principles and the courts' application of the principles Recommending reforms to the principles by demonstrating that the existing principles of jurisdiction are flawed, and ought to be reformed by taking into account the law's objectives, defined by relevance to state and private interests.
