Motor Law annual conference

This year's conference takes place on 1 March at the RAC. As usual we have an excellent set of speakers, including Axel Bierer from the European Commission who will - I hope - give us all the latest news on the block exemption. Well, all the news that he's allowed to give us.

We also have Law Commissioner David Hertzell, Chris Mason from Motor Codes Ltd, and Brian Spratt from the Right to Choose Campaign. Adrian Watts will present an update on consumer law developments from the last 12 months or so.

I hope to be able to announce more speakers soon, so bookmark this page and come back often. Here's the  flier about the conference with booking form attached, or you can just email me (peter@motorlaw.com) and reserve your place.
