TITLE II U.K. JURISDICTION

Section 3 U.K. Jurisdiction in Matters Relating to Insurance

Article 12 U.K.

The provisions of this Section may be departed from only by an agreement on jurisdiction:

1 which is entered into after the dispute has arisen; or

3 which is concluded between a policy-holder and an insurer, both of whom are at the time of conclusion of the contract domiciled or habitually resident in the same Contracting State, and which has the effect of conferring jurisdiction on the courts of that State even if the harmful event were to occur abroad, provided that such an agreement is not contrary to the law of the State; or

4 which is concluded with a policy-holder who is not domiciled in a Contracting State, except in so far as the insurance is compulsory or relates to immovable property in a Contracting State; or

5 which relates to a contract of insurance in so far as it covers one or more of the risks set out in Article 12A.
