The risk in such situations is that the persons involved might refrain from asserting their rights because of the obstacles that they would encounter in going to law in a foreign country, with unfamiliar legislation and procedures, and the costs that they would have to bear.
Risikoen i disse situationer er, at de berørte parter opgiver at gøre deres rettigheder gældende som følge af de forhindringer, de støder på, når de skal anlægge sag i et fremmed land, hvis lovgivning og procedurer de ikke kender, og som følge af de udgifter, de skal afholde.
