Cross-Border Disputes

What Are Cross-Border Disputes?

Cross-border disputes typically involve disagreements between the different jurisdictions within the United Kingdom: England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or worldwide. These disputes can stem from various issues, including governance, resource allocation, legal jurisdiction, and political differences. With the complexities of devolution, Brexit, and differing regional policies, cross-border disputes require specialised legal expertise to navigate effectively.
