Transnational Commercial Litigation (M3125)

15 credits, Level 6

Autumn teaching

On this module, you’ll examine the rules of commercial litigation when a case involves more than one country. In these situations, questions may include:

• where can the case be heard?
• which country’s law applies to the dispute?
• can a court judgement made in one country be recognised and enforced in another?

You’ll focus on key EC/EU regulations and English law, while also looking at international conventions and the laws from other countries.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 150 hours of work. This breaks down into about 20 hours of contact time and about 130 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2025/26. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
