Do you need to catch up on Rome 1 or get 5.5 Law Society CPD points under your belt? The Regulation will come into force on 17 December 2009. There will be a conference on Rome 1 on 19 September, £140, by the Birmingham Law School, in London. Rome 1 is shorthand for the now inevitable adoption by the UK on the new choice of law rules in contract. Earlier posts on this blog, when there was still some doubt as to whether the UK should join, are here. The conference will cover the position generally, and in the fields of financial services, insurance, IP & e-commerce.
