Back 5. Is it possible to request information on foreign law not in connection with proceedings through the Convention or its additional Protocol?

No. In civil and commercial matters under the Convention, the request must come from a judicial authority and be linked to proceedings already initiated. In accordance with the additional Protocol, such a request may also be made when proceedings are being considered, provided that the requested state has ratified the additional Protocol.
