This Commentary provides comprehensive analysis of the 2005 Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements that came into force in October 2015. Drawing on the contributors’ expertise from a range of legal traditions, including Commonwealth and US common law, as well as French and German civil law traditions, it presents an article-by-article examination of the Convention. Each provision is carefully examined using diverse perspectives to ensure an in-depth understanding of its history, context and meaning. The Commentary outlines past scholarly research and controversies arising from interpretation as well as indicating avenues for future study.
Key Features:

Provides an international and comparative perspective on the interpretation of the Convention
Includes expansive reference to case law and legal literature, in a variety of languages, from across the globe
Analyses the ways in which the Convention is implemented in several jurisdictions
Presents insights into the negotiation of the Convention and the Hague Conference process

This Commentary is a crucial reference tool for practitioners in international dispute resolution and private international law. It is also a vital resource for scholars and students specialising in international dispute resolution in Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
