The recast Brussels Regulation has introduced significant changes to the EU rules on jurisdiction and the enforcement of judgments for proceedings commenced from 10 January 2015, as well as clarifying the scope of the exclusion of arbitration from the Brussels regime. Adam Johnson, Anna Pertoldi, Nicholas Peacock and Hannah Ambrose have published an article in PLC Magazine, The recast Brussels Regulation: Implications for commercial parties, which considers the key changes and the areas in which uncertainty remains.
