ACHIEVEMENTS
Over the past nine years, 43 Civil Law seminars have been held and over 2000 judges have been trained in various civil law topics. Several trainings have been broadcast live as webinars and subsequently transformed into podcasts.
The civil law sub-working group is proud to announce the successful implementation of seven webinars in 2020 organised on various topics covering cross-border judicial cooperation in civil matters.
The group with the support of the EJTN Secretariat had to react in a quick manner to the challenges and Europe wide restrictions imposed as results of the COVID 19 epidemic.
After an intense period of preparations, the Civil Law sub-working group revised its training curricula and implemented numerous training in a shorter and comprehensive form of a webinars.
In addition, the civil portfolio also offered two ‘lunch break’ webinars, one on a very current topic of Insolvency law in times of pandemic.
The group kept its 'traditional webinar series' as well entailing the ‘Matrimonial property Regulation’ an important cornerstone of civil justice cooperation within the member states of the European Union.
EVENTS IN 2021
Up to 10 two-day training events will be implemented in 2021 on key issues associated with civil law:.
