Article summary
The Court of Appeal in Aeroflot has delivered a wide ranging judgment in which it considered various challenges to English Court jurisdiction founded upon the Judgments Regulation, the Lugano Convention and their inter-relationship with purported exclusive jurisdiction clauses and arbitration agreements. It also ruled that both the exclusive jurisdiction clause and arbitration clause in separately negotiated contracts were binding notwithstanding that the contracts in which those clauses were contained may be void as a matter of the governing law applicable to those contracts.
