Switzerland on Constitutional & Administrative Law

It is perhaps appropriate that our first article on Switzerland for the Mondaq Asset Recovery Newsfeed is devoted to commenting on a recent Federal Court ruling dealing with the post-Brexit application of the Lugano Convention to the enforcement in Switzerland of a UK judgment made in 2019.

One of the consequences of Brexit is that the bilateral Agreement on the Free Movements of Persons between Switzerland and the EU no longer applies to the UK as from 1st January 2021.

The United Kingdom (UK) left the European Union (EU) on January 31, 2020. After the transition phase, the Agreement on the Free Movement of Persons (AFMP) between Switzerland and the EU no longer applied to the United Kingdom (UK).
