Simpson Thacher Senior Counsel Scott Dyer will appear as part of a panel entitled, "From Samengo-Turner to Duarte: Jurisdiction and Applicable Law in the Context of Employment", at a meeting of the British Institute of International and Comparative Law in London on September 25, 2008. The subject matter includes discussion of a UK Court of Appeal decision that approved the issuance of an anti-suit injunction against proceedings in New York. The New York action had been brought against executives who violated the terms of non-competition covenants contained in a compensation agreement, based upon a European Community regulation providing that claims relating to a contract of employment can only be brought against the employee in the employee's country of domicile (in this case, the UK).
