International Jurisdiction When a Foreign Customer Does Not Pay

International Jurisdiction: What Happens When a Foreign Client Fails to Pay?

When an invoice falls due and a customer fails to pay, debt collection actions are initiated against the debtor to induce them to pay the claim to the creditor.

In some cases, the debtor may be located in a different country than the creditor, which raises the question of which country’s court is competent to handle the legal case.

This is where the issue of international jurisdiction comes into play.
