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.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting a delegation from Indonesia, led by the Director General of Legal Administrative Affairs, Ministry of Law and Human Rights. The delegation visited the Hague for the purpose of the Council on General Affairs and Policy (CGAP) of the Hague Conference on Private International Law, combining it with a visit to Erasmus School of Law. Topics of discussion included ongoing work on a bill on Private International Law in the Netherlands and the importance of the work of the HCCH for mutual assistance. Indonesia is not a member of the HCCH, but has ratified the Apostille Convention and is considering to accede to several other conventions.
