M-EPLI Roundtable - 14 October 2021
An online M-EPLI roundtable on private international law issues will take place on 14 October 2021, relating to the recognition and enforcement of foreign punitive damages judgements in countries ouside of Europe (e.g., US).
Faculty of Law
An often-heard obstacle in this regard is the public policy-exception. In a number of European countries, for example, Italy, Spain and Germany, the supreme courts have rendered decisions on this matter.
Following the decision of the Italian supreme court of 2017, a conference was organised in Milan by the Department of Italian and Supranational Public Law of the University of Milan in 2018. A program of this conference, in which the organizers of this M-EPLI roundtable took part, can be found here. During the conference, the private international law question has been addressed from the perspective of several European countries.
We have decided to broaden this question and look into countries outside of Europe because extensive research into such jurisdictions has not been done yet. In this M-EPLI roundtable we bring together a group of experts who will reflect on the current position of their country (and surrounding countries). The insights gained through this research could be useful for the ongoing debate on the future of punitive damages in Europe.
We look forward to seeing you in October!
