The Brussels I Regulation, which ensures the free circulation of judgments within the EU, was recently revised; one of the main issues addressed was whether the Regulation affects the efficient resolution of international commercial disputes through arbitration within the Union. This book provides an in depth examination of the interface between the Regulation and international commercial arbitration. The author demonstrates that the consequences of this interface can encourage the use of delaying tactics, hampering the efficient resolution of international disputes.

‘The book by Dr Wilhelmsen is invaluable reading for everyone faced with the complex issue that is the regulation of international commercial arbitration with the EU and the consequences of the interference between the Brussels I Regulation and international commercial arbitration. The importance of this monograph is rooted not only in the significance of the questions it examines but also in the approach it takes, namely examining the interplay between EU, international and national laws of four EU jurisdictions (Sweden, Germany, England and France) and the conclusions it reaches.’
