TITLE II U.K. JURISDICTION

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

Article 8 U.K.

An insurer domiciled in a Contracting State may be sued:

1 in the courts of the State where he is domiciled; or

2 in another Contracting State, in the courts for the place where the policy-holder is domiciled; or

3 if he is a co-insurer, in the courts of a Contracting State in which proceedings are brought against the leading insurer.

An insurer who is not domiciled in a Contracting State but has a branch, agency or other establishment in one of the Contracting States shall, in disputes arising out of the operations of the branch, agency or establishment, be deemed to be domiciled in that State.
