Guest lecture International Commercial Courts Cyprus

Xandra Kramer gave a guest lecture on ‘International commercial courts: a game changer in international litigation?’ at the Neapolis University Pafos in Cyprus on 12 April 2024. She discussed the rise of international commercial courts in the Middle East and Europe, in the context of needs of international business, court specialisation and access to justice and in relation to international arbitration.

Focussing on key features of these courts she gave insights on the different courts, and in particular the Singapore and Netherlands Commercial Court. Highlighting some innovative features and the opportunities the Hague Judgments Convention of 2019 offers, she concluded that these courts have an effect on the international litigation market, but they have not triggered a huge shift from arbitration or other courts to these new business courts.

Yesterday was a momentous day for our research group as we celebrated the successful defense of Adriani Dori’s PhD dissertation at the University of Heidelberg. Her hard work and dedication have paid off, and we are thrilled to announce that she was awarded summa cum laude.

Adriani’s research has been an inspiration to us all, and we are proud to have her as a member of our team. Her thesis is a testament to her expertise in procedural law. It explores how EU justice policies reshape national procedures and incentivize civil justice reforms, with a focus on the interplay between the rule of law, economic efficiency, and access to justice.

Adriani’s research has been recognized, and we are confident that her work will positively impact the field of procedural law.

Congratulations, Adriani, on this well-deserved achievement!
