Dispute Resolution Podcast: Exploring dispute resolution choices and Hague Judgments Convention 2019

September 16, 2024 Herbert Smith Freehills Podcasts

In this special edition dispute resolution podcast, we take a practical look at what the UK government's recent ratification of the Hague 2019 Judgments Convention means for in-house counsel choosing between litigation and arbitration for an English law governed contract.

The episode draws together the hosts of three of our HSF podcasts – Vanessa Naish and Liz Kantor (arbitration), Maura McIntosh (commercial litigation) and Ceri Morgan (banking litigation) – to discuss the benefits Hague 2019 will bring to the enforcement of English judgments, how that compares to the enforcement position for arbitration awards, and the various factors that need to be weighed in the balance when choosing dispute resolution options.
