We at Papallo Lawyers have extensive experience in conducting international matters and ensuring that various judgments in different courts internationally, are adhered to in Australian and NSW courts, and vice versa.
Our lawyers have been involved in running concurrent matters in courts of NSW (or Australian Federal courts) and international courts, under the principles of ‘international judicial comity’ as well as conventions such as the Vienna Convention.
These cases have mainly involved property rights whether here in NSW, or in overseas (as well as interstate) jurisdictions.
Even seemingly simple matters such as the ‘service’ of court documents, can take on a very complicated dimension when these steps are required and necessary, within the international sphere.
Sometimes applications in the local courts need to be brought so that other international courts and bodies are moved to take various steps, including discovery.
This is by no means an area for the novice. Our lawyers have over 40 years’ experience dealing with overseas courts, including briefing agents overseas (as well acting in interstate matters, in Australian disputes).
At Papallo Kouchoo Lawyers, we do our utmost to uphold your rights and to ensure that your contractual or property rights are upheld throughout the world and to the extent provided for, by ‘international judicial comity’, international treaties and agreements.
As always, we do all this in a cost-effective way and we keep you abreast of all the steps our lawyers take and provide timely estimates of costs for our services.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us for an obligation free professional consultation.
