Jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters

This procedure concerns the United Kingdom's request to join the Lugano Convention. This international agreement simplifies how court judgments in civil and commercial matters are recognized and enforced across borders, ensuring legal certainty for businesses and individuals.

If approved, this would allow UK judgments to be more easily enforced in EU member states and vice versa, benefiting legal professionals and companies operating in both jurisdictions.
