Readers of this blog may be interested that the Singapore-based Asian Business Law Institute (ABLI) and the Permanent Bureau of the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) are co-hosting a webinar on the HCCH 2005 Choice of Court Convention and the 2019 Judgments Convention on Wednesday, 27 July. Details about the webinar can be found here. New Zealand is not currently a party to either Convention, but there are good reasons why it should consider joining both schemes. One of the speakers will be Justice David Goddard of the Court of Appeal, who chaired the Diplomatic Session that adopted the Judgements Convention.
