About the Topic
In the fourth session of the Trialogues, Hannah L. Buxbaum will examine recent developments in the use of anti-suit and anti-enforcement injunctions in the United States and in comparative perspective, analysing their role in managing conflicts arising in transnational litigation and arbitration. Special emphasis will be given to the exceptional nature of anti-enforcement injunctions, the challenges they pose to the strong and essentially universal policy in favour of res judicata, and the tensions they create with foreign legal systems.
The session will take place in a trilingual format, giving participants the chance to engage in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
