DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice: 7322] 

U.S. Department of State Advisory 

Committee on Private International 

Law (ACPIL): Public Meeting on 

Jurisdiction and the Recognition and 

Enforcement of Judgments 

The Department of State, Office of 

Legal Adviser, Office of Private 

International Law would like to give 

notice of a public meeting to discuss 

issues relating to jurisdiction and the 

recognition and enforcement of 

judgments. The European Commission 

released on December 14, 2010 its 

proposal, COM(2010) 748 final, for 

amendments to Council Regulation (EC) 

No. 44/2001 of 22 December 2001 on 

jurisdiction and the recognition and 

enforcement of judgments in civil and 

commercial matters (known as ‘‘Brussels 

I’’). See http://ec.europa.eu/justice/

policies/civil/docs/com_2010_

748_en.pdf. 

Under the current text of Brussels I, 

most of the rules apply only to 

defendants domiciled in a EU member 

state. When the defendant is not a 

domiciliary of a EU member state, 

jurisdiction in civil actions is governed 

by the national law of the relevant 

member state, rather than by the 

jurisdictional rules set forth in Brussels 

I. The proposed amendments would, 

inter alia, do away with that distinction, 

making the Brussels I rules applicable in 

all cases, regardless of the domicile of 

the defendant. These changes have 

potentially significant implications for 

U.S. citizens and residents who are 

involved in civil actions in EU member 

states. The Commission’s proposal will 

now be considered by the European 

Council and by the European 

Parliament. 

In addition, last year the Council on 

General Affairs and Policy of the Hague 

Conference on Private International Law 

considered a proposal to continue work 

in the judgments area. Work in that 

forum had previously led to the 

conclusion in 2005 of the Convention 

on Choice of Court Agreements, which 

is not yet in force. The State and Justice 

Departments are currently engaged in 

discussions with various domestic 

stakeholders regarding implementing 

legislation for that Convention. The 

scope of that Convention is limited to 

situations in which the parties have 

expressly designated the court or courts 

in which disputes will be resolved; it 

does not address many other situations, 

including non-contract actions, in 

which no such choice has been made. 

At the Hague Conference, it has been 

proposed that an experts’ group be 

convened to consider possible options 

for a broader instrument. In April 2011, 

the Conference’s Council on General 

Affairs and Policy will hold its annual 

meeting and will revisit this topic. 

The purpose of the public meeting, to 

be held under the auspices of the State 

Department’s Advisory Committee on 

Private International Law, is to consider 

these developments and possible 

responses by the U.S. Government. 

Time and Place: The public meeting 

will take place on Wednesday, March 

23, 2011 from 8:30 to 11:30 am EST at 

Covington & Burling LLP, 1201 

Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., 

Washington, DC. Participants should 

appear at the guards’ desk at Covington 

& Burling by 8:15 am to be directed to 

the meeting location. 

Public Participation: This meeting is 

open to the public, subject to the 

capacity of the meeting room. Because 

of space limitations, those wishing to 

attend are required to pre-register. If you 

are unable to attend the public meeting 

and would like to participate from a 

remote location, teleconferencing will 

be available. 

Persons wishing to attend in person or 

telephonically should contact Trisha 

Smeltzer (SmeltzerTK@state.gov) or 

Niesha Toms (TomsNN@state.gov) of 

the Office of Private International Law 

and provide your name, affiliation, email address, and mailing address.
