[PDF] Review of the Brussels I Regulation

...[I]n March 2007, the European Parliament passed a resolution on Corporate Social Responsibility...This submission...is prompted in particular by the submission of the Ministry of Justice of the UK...[whose] proposal is, in effect, an attempt to turn back the clock and reintroduce into the Brussels I Regulation the doctrine of forum non conveniens, or some equivalent mechanism, effectively reversing the decision of the European Court of Justice in Owusu v Jackson...Our experience...leads us vigorously to oppose the Ministry’s suggestion...[A] reversal of [the Owusu] decision...would, in particular, seriously impact on the ability of overseas human rights victims to obtain access to justice in the European Union against multinationals domiciled in the EU. [refers to cases against BP, Cape PLC, Monterrico Metals (part of Zijin), RTZ Corporation (now Rio Tinto), Thor Chemicals, Trafigura]
