Robert C Williams@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT 08/22/2000 11:43 AM To: Richard Sanders cc: Subject: Draft Hague Convention Would you forward to the correct Michael Brown for me? Thanks. ---------------------- Forwarded by Robert C Williams/ENRON_DEVELOPMENT on 08/22/2000 11:47 AM --------------------------- Robert C Williams 08/21/2000 11:14 AM To: Richard Sanders cc: Rob Walls, Joe Hillings@ENRON, Michael L Brown/ENRON_DEVELOPMENT@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT Subject: Draft Hague Convention Richard, Rob has asked for some input on the proposed Draft Hague Convention relating to jurisdiction and the enforcement of foreign judgments. One of the new proposals could have implications for trading. The proposal would arguably subject a company to suit in a jurisdiction where it has an accessible website for conducting e-commerce. However, under the Convention this grant of jurisdiction would apparently (I am still studying this) be overridden by a contractually-agreed forum selection clause. Do our current e-business contracts contain a forum selection clause? Would you anticipate that we would conduct trades in the future without a previously-agreed forum selection clause? Thanks for your help.
