Choice-of-Court Agreement Sample Clauses

Choice-of-Court Agreement according to the EU Regulations Before the ECJ in 1999 provided the Trasporti Castelletti interpretation, in 1984 the German court in a dispute relative to the protection of German investors (“Rechtsumschwung”) invalidated jurisdiction agreements designating courts in London for the violation of the public policy.209 However, nowadays such decisions of a German court would be questionable. The ECJ tends to ensure party autonomy and excludes any effect of a loss of juridical advantage in substantive law on an otherwise valid jurisdiction agreement. The ECJ expressly stated in Trasporti Castelletti, which dealt with jurisdiction clause in favour of another Member State court, that: 207 Council Directive 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 on unfair terms in consumer contracts, OJ L 95, 21 April 1993. 208 X. XXXXXX, Article 23, in Brussels I Regulation, 2012, op. cit., p. 472. 209 BGH, NJW 1984, 2037. Considerations about the links between the court designated and the relationship at issue, about the validity of the clause, or about the substantive rules of liability applicable before the chosen court are unconnected with those requirements.210 This conclusion was then confirmed by the ECJ in CDC when the ECJ upheld party autonomy to designate another Member State court, even if such designation amounts to a public policy violation of the derogated Member State. In fact, the ECJ affirmed the separability of a choice-of-court clause from the substantive law, which might result in a violation of public policy of the derogated forum. Thus, it practically did not leave any space for other interpretations. The conclusion of the ECJ was built on the conviction that the legal certainty laid down in the Brussels Regime prevails over securing the public policy of the derogated forum. The mutual trust practically excludes the application of the overriding mandatory rules and public policy by which the derogation of the jurisdiction of a Member State court by a jurisdiction agreement would be invalidated.211 Such a conclusion was reached in 2007 also by the Sezione Unite of Italian Corte Suprema di Cassazione stating that the court’s jurisdiction prevails over the application of norme di applicazione necessaria since in the current case, the prorogued court was situated in another Member State.212 On the other hand, it is interesting to observe a different conclusion in the purely domestic case (Xxxxxx Grupo Editorial SA), when the ECJ indirectly admitted the possibility of inval...
