This Order enlarges the power of the Court of Session to grant provisional and protective measures in aid of legal proceedings in other countries. At present such measures can only be granted where the principal proceedings are taking place in a country which is a party to the 1968 Brussels Convention or the 1988 Lugano Convention on jurisdiction and the enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters and where the proceedings are within the scope of those Conventions. This Order removes those two limitations from the Court’s powers.
Order applied (with modifications) (31.12.2020) by The Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments (Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements 2005) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 (S.I. 2018/1124), regs. 1, 7(3); 2020 c. 1, Sch. 5 para. 1(1)
