The common law and civil law systems are two fundamentally different approaches to the legal process. In civil law, the main principles and rules are contained in codes, with case law being only a secondary source. In the common law system, the law has been predominantly created by judicial decisions, with precedents being a binding force. Under the pressure of globalisation, common law and civil law have displayed an interesting convergence in a number of legal issues. In this session we will review the key differences and similarities of both legal systems.
Using case studies, this session will contain analysis of, and best practices for, legal and business issues that arise in a product liability crisis, and will include consideration of the latest EU product liability laws generally. How and when product recalls (consumer and trade) and manufacturers’ responses are triggered – and how best to manage these issues to minimise reputational damage and financial loss.
The businesses we serve are increasingly focused on dealing with corruption. However, several surveys suggest that the perception of the success of dealing with corruption does not match the reality. This session will explore what objective metrics, tools, processes and controls we can deploy to ensure that reality matches our perceptions. How can lawyers effectively measure the risk of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations in different nations?
