The Brussels Convention

The Brussels Convention, established in 1968, is an international agreement that deals with jurisdiction and the enforcement of civil and commercial judgments among European countries. It aims to ensure that legal disputes are handled consistently and fairly within member states, allowing individuals and businesses to know where to file lawsuits and how judgments can be recognized across borders. This helps prevent confusion and conflicts when dealing with cross-border legal issues, providing a clearer framework for legal proceedings and enhancing cooperation among nations in handling civil matters.
