Abstract :
[en] This chapter gives an overview of the legal regime pertaining to choice of court clauses. The focus is on the regime applicable within the EU, in the light in particular of Article 23 of the Brussels I Regulation (although reference is also made to the Belgian Code of Private International Law and the Hague Choice of Court Convention). The contribution aims to provide guidelines for contract drafters. The chapter starts with a general description of the role of choice of court clauses before analysing in depth the validity requirements for such clauses. The contribution provides numerous examples of choice of court clauses, which are commented.
