Two aspects of American law inadvertently discriminate against American consumers and businesses to the benefit of foreign nationals.

Worse, however, is the fact that the Central Authority completely fails to effect service on a foreign party in a significant percentage of cases. For decades, courts and commentators have argued over whether the Hague Service Convention actually permits litigants to sidestep the …
