EEOs, EOPs and ESCP judgments issued by EU member state courts are no longer recognised or enforceable in the UK; andThis Practice Note considers the provisions of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 (CJJA 1982), which determine the question of international jurisdiction in relation to employment proceedings instituted on or after 1 January 2021. If the claim is a common law claim brought in the courts, such as a claim for damages for breach of contract or to enforce post-termination restrictions (restrictive covenants), the rules on jurisdiction in CJJA 1982 and the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) will apply. the ESCP Regulation still applies to small claims procedures for which the application was lodged before the end of the transition period. Practitioners should note, however, that both the Rome I and Rome II Regulations apply whether or not the applicable law is the law of an EU member state or not (see Article 2 of Rome I and Article 3 of Rome II). This statutory instrument also preserves and amends the Rome Convention Rules, which are set out in the Contracts (Applicable Law) Act 1990, so that they still apply to contracts entered into between 1 April 1991 and 16 December 2009. This SI has been amended by The Jurisdiction, Judgments and Applicable Law (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/1574) to ensure in particular that its provisions are consistent with Title VI of the Withdrawal Agreement.
