PRACTICE NOTES
Ireland—Determining jurisdiction in civil litigation—checklist
For a checklist explaining how to assess whether an Irish court can take jurisdiction over particular civil disputes, see Ireland—Determining jurisdiction in civil litigation—checklist. This Practice Note outlines the rules that govern when the Irish civil courts may hear claims with an international dimension. It includes guidance on international jurisdiction under Brussels I (recast), the Lugano Convention and the Hague Convention. It also addresses the position where proceedings are commenced in more than one jurisdiction. Finally, the Practice Note offers practical pointers when evaluating jurisdictional issues in Ireland.
For guidance on:
