Where to resolve software disputes? David Línek’s article in Obchodněprávní revue

Attorney-at-law David Línek has published an expert article in Obchodněprávní revue focusing on the issue of jurisdiction in disputes arising from software development agreements.

The text follows up on his earlier contribution published on EPRAVO.CZ, in which he discussed the basic rules for determining court jurisdiction in this area. In the more recent article, he further develops the topic in a broader context, in particular from the perspective of the Brussels I bis Regulation, jurisdiction agreements in the online environment, and the general rules on jurisdiction in cross-border contractual obligations.

The article also examines the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, in particular judgment C-526/23 VariusSystems. It is primarily intended for readers who encounter IT contracts, software, or cross-border disputes in practice, and highlights the importance of a carefully drafted choice-of-court clause.
