This year's annual conference will take place on 27th February at the RAC Club. As always, we think we have assembled an interesting programme and a knowledgeable group of speakers, with a couple of slots still to be confirmed.
The morning will start with a session devoted to the block exemption. The new rules have been in place for the aftermarket now for a couple of years, long enough to be able to look back on how they are working, and this will be covered by Marjorie Holmes and Angela Gregson of global law firm Reed Smith's London office. Then Joseph Vogel, avocat, Selas Vogel & Vogel, Paris, a well-known observer of block exemption matters, will consider the prospects of the application of the new rules to the car market.
Moving away from the block exemption but still in the competition law field, Alex Haffner of SNR Denton, Milton Keynes will provide a review of cartel investigations in the car parts market. The activities of competition authorities throughout the world have provided plenty of material for Motor Law in the past couple of years, and an overview of what is going on will be enlightening.
Never content to leave well alone, the government is proposing changes to copyright protection for industrial designs, about which David Musker, patent attorney, a partner in Jenkins, will speak in the manner that delegates so enjoyed a couple of years ago - and he will also bring us up to date with any other relevant topics in the field.
Stephen Dawson of Shoosmiths will cover recent developments in finance law, and finally there will be the regular consumer law update courtesy of Motor Law's old friend, solicitor Adrian Watts.
Want to come? How could you resist? Well, if that's not enough, the lunch will be excellent and the company will be unrivalled. You can download a booking form from the website of follow this link. The "early bird" rate for subscribers is £350 plus VAT, and the rate for non-subscribers £400 plus VAT.
