Abstract
This article discusses the initiatives to allow the use of English in German and French courts. The difficulties arising out of such initiatives are highlighted and the aims evaluated. The article illustrates how, at present, such proposals suffer from insufficient English language translations of statutes and highlights the legal and practical obstacles. The article demonstrates that language is not the primary reason why parties do not chose Germany or France as place of litigation and concludes that therefore the initiatives will not bring about the desired effect.
