Let us be clear, that what we have proposed in these alternative jurisdiction clauses is not something for the larger businesses.

The Commission initially proposed that jurisdiction clauses be specifically excluded from the Act.

Conformation of jurisdiction clause to the Brussels Regime

Other projects that have adopted the Q Public License, sometimes with a change in the choice of jurisdiction clause, include:

A final option to consider is that the IP licensor should include exclusive jurisdiction clauses in the grant of all licences.

During the bill's passage through Parliament, however, this exclusion disappeared, and the Act's explanatory notes assume that the Act covers jurisdiction clauses.

The Brussels Regime generally allows jurisdiction clauses in contracts, which preserves the right of parties to reach agreement at the time of contracting as to which court should govern any dispute.

With regard to the promotion of cross-border electronic commerce, it is proposed to allow businesses, under certain very specific and very restricted circumstances, to insert jurisdiction clauses which the consumer could accept.

The same thing applies to the amendment seeking to open up the system laid down in the Brussels Convention on jurisdiction clauses in consumer contracts. I am referring here to Article 17.

For this reason, most international contracts contain a clause establishing the country in which any legal action under the contract must take place (a jurisdiction clause), and/or a clause establishing that disputes will be referred to arbitration.

We do not support jurisdiction clauses because my group also believes that these are in contravention of the unfair contract term legislation, by causing significant imbalance in the parties' rights and obligations under contract to the detriment of the consumer.

The Court of Appeal held that the jurisdiction clause was not binding on B. The way the documents were presented to him for signature was misleading: B was entitled to assume that the two copies of the terms were identical.
