Professor Alex Mills (Professor of Public and Private International Law at UCL Laws and member of Blackstone Chambers’ Academic Research Panel), has co-authored an article with Tom Weisselberg QC entitled ‘Covid-19 and Limitation Periods in Cross-Border Disputes’.
The law governing limitation periods is critical in managing a dispute; a failure to bring proceedings within the required limitation period is usually nothing less than fatal to a claim. The article focuses on how changes to limitation periods adopted in some foreign legal systems as a part of their response to the Covid-19 pandemic may potentially impact international civil litigation in the English courts.
