International arbitration proceedings involving the law on distribution - GvW-Partner Dr. Raimond Emde reported at the Petersberg Arbitration Seminar
A classic event among the events on arbitration is the Petersberg Arbitration Seminar. The experts in arbitration are addressing now for the 14th time disputes in the law governing distribution and antitrust law. GvW partner Dr Raimond Emde will discuss in his presentation his many years of practice in international arbitration proceedings involving the law governing distribution.
The law on commercial agents has been unified throughout Europe. The European Court of Justice had declared choice of law clauses to be invalid which excluded by contract the claim for compensation at the end of the commercial agency in the court's widely noted "Ingmar" decision. Circumventing the clause by agreeing on an exclusive jurisdiction outside Europe is also invalid according to a decision of the Federal Supreme Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof, "BGH"]. Dr. Raimond Emde considers the scope of choice of law and jurisdiction clauses and the effects of the case law for international arbitration.
Commercial agency law and international arbitration each make up a chapter in the Emde commentary on distribution law which was published last year in the 3rd edition at de Gruyter.
In addition to classic topics involving the law on distribution, the recognized top experts will also discuss current issues on distribution and antitrust law on the Petersberg in Königswinter. The organizer of the Petersberg Arbitration Seminar is the Beck Academy.
