EVENEMENTS
Conference organised by the working group "Discrimination and Fundamental Rights" (December 2017)

The meeting of the Discrimination and Fundamental Rights Pole on 14 December 2017 was followed by a conference on group actions, given by Lisa Schnall, legal expert at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (US federal agency in charge of implementing anti-discrimination policy in the workplace), under the aegis of the United States Embassy in Paris.
The Journées internationales de la Société de législation comparée (SLC) took place in the Grande Chambre de la Cour de cassation on 8 and 9 April 2015.

Faithful to the spirit of the 1900 Paris Congress, which admitted legal comparison as a major discipline, these Journées aimed at launching an overall reflection on comparative law, its evolution and its role in the face of the great challenges of the contemporary world. They brought together many participants from all countries and all legal professions.

The workshops of April 9 have deepened the reflection on specific topics, at the heart of major current issues of law: protection of personal data (with the participation of TEE), common goods, repressive procedures against serious financial crime, insolvency, new forms of governance and of companies.

Unforeseen circumstances, financial crisis and long term energy contracts

1st July 2013

The Catholic University of Louvain, the University of Liege and the French branch of the European Law Institute sent an invitation for participation in this conference :

Unforeseen circumstances, financial crisis and long term energy contracts

On the first of July at 17H

The University Foundation (Fondation Universitaire, Universitaire Stichting) 11, rue d’Egmontstraat, 1000 Brussels

The doctrine of « unforeseen circumstances » (théorie de l’imprévision, imprevisieleer) allows the revision of a contract when supervening and unforeseeable circumstances occur deeply disturbing the equilibrium of the contract, as a result of what an excessive burden is placed on one of the parties.

The doctrine has been rejected in France and Belgium for a long period of time (except in public or administrative contracts), but, more recently,  courts seem to recognise that unforeseen circumstances can lead to a renegotiation of the contract.

Moreover, the doctrine of unforeseen circumstances is recognised by several recent international instruments (Unidroit Principles, art. 6.2.2 .;  the Draft Common Frame of Reference, art. III.-I.110; the Draft Regulation on a Common European Sales Law, art. 89).

In the last decade, our world experienced some dramatic changes of circumstances ; the best examples are, maybe, the financial crisis and the variation of energy prices.

How the doctrine of unforeseen circumstances has apprehended these changes in practice (case law, arbitration awards, renegotiation clauses) was discussed.

A meeting dedicated to the Institut Européen du Droit took place on the 5 December 2011 at 12 place du Panthéon, Paris 5th.
On 15 September 2011, the Conseil Supérieur du Notariat and Trans Europe Experts jointly organised a conference-debate in the presence of Viviane Reding on the theme "Civil Justice and Citizens in Europe".

This debate extended the discussions on European citizenship that took place during the second Annual TEE Forum on 1 April 2011.
For several years, many initiatives have emerged to develop a European Law Institute (ELI).

Following several meetings, a founding committee was set up, with the ambition of creating ELI.

Sir Francis Jacobs was elected President of ELI and Bénédicte Fauvarque-Cosson, Vice-President.

The ELI was officially inaugurated and presented on 1 June 2011 in Paris at the inaugural Congress of the European Institute of Law.

This Congress was initially held at the Université Panthéon-Assas, then in the Grand Amphitheater of the Sorbonne.
Trans Europe Experts co-organised this event in Paris.

The detailed program of the Congress is available below.
You can find ELI's Statutes and the conditions for membership on the website of the European Law Institute: https://www.europeanlawinstitute.eu/
