The essay discusses the European regime approach to jurisdiction in conflict of laws, which is based on the principle of mutual recognition. This principle has led to the development of new rules and procedures for the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, including the rule of forum non conveniens. The rule of forum non conveniens is an important tool for ensuring that cases are tried in the most appropriate forum. It allows courts to decline jurisdiction where it would be more convenient for the parties or where there is a risk of unfairness or injustice. The European regime approach to jurisdiction in conflict of laws can be applied to a number of specific situations, such as divorce, child custody, adoption, and enforcement of foreign judgments. In each of these situations, the rule of comity allows courts to recognise and enforce foreign judgments.
