**Committee on Private International Law (ACPIL): Notice of Public Meeting**  **of the Study Group on the Hague Judgments Project** 

The Office of the Assistant Legal Adviser for Private International Law, Department of State, hereby gives notice of a public meeting of the Study Group on the Judgments Project in the Hague
Conference on Private International

Law.

Last April, the General Affairs and Policy Council of the Hague Conference decided to proceed with the Judgments Project as follows:

(1) A Working Group was established to draft proposals for inclusion in an instrument on the recognition and enforcement of judgments; and

(2) An Experts’ Group will convene separately to give further consideration
to whether it would be desirable and
feasible to include in this or another instrument provisions on jurisdiction.

The Permanent Bureau of the Hague
Conference has announced that two meetings will be held in The Hague during the latter part of February (precise dates to be determined): The Working Group on recognition and enforcement of judgments will meet, followed by a meeting of the Experts’ Group on jurisdiction and related

issues.

The purpose of the meeting of the Study Group is to obtain the views of
concerned stakeholders on these matters; specifically, reactions to the issue papers that are being prepared by the Permanent Bureau for the Hague meetings. Those issue papers will be circulated, as soon as they become available, to those individuals who advise that they intend to participate in the public meeting. This is not a meeting of the full Advisory Committee.

Time and Place: The meeting will take place on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., EST in Room 240, South Building, State Department Annex 4. Participants should arrive at the Navy Hill gate at the
corner of 23rd Street NW. and D Street
