Eighth Meeting of the Working Group on Jurisdiction
From 10 to 14 February 2025, the Working Group (WG) on Matters Related to Jurisdiction in Transnational Civil or Commercial Litigation met for the eighth time. The meeting, held in hybrid format, was attended by 67 delegates and other experts, representing 23 HCCH Members and 2 Observers, as well as by members of the Permanent Bureau of the HCCH.
Pursuant to its mandate, the WG made further progress on the development of draft provisions on parallel proceedings and related actions or claims, which may occur when separate proceedings are instituted before the courts of different States. The WG will present a report on the progress of its work to the Council on General Affairs and Policy in March 2025, including the provisions derived from its discussions.
