Double jeopardy, ‘ne bis in idem’ or ‘autrefoi...
Professor John Spencer, University of Cambridge and President of ECLA (UK); Dr. Robin Loof, Barrister, Hollis Whiteman Chambers; Nick Vamos, UK Judicial Co-operation Unit; Professor Estella Baker, University of Sheffield.
Art 54 of the Schengen Implementing Agreement assures a person whose trial has been finally disposed of in one Contracting State that he will not be prosecuted in another for the same acts. Can this assurance really be relied on in England and Wales, or anywhere in the EU?
Professor John Spencer: on the domestic rules on ne bis in idem, including a look at: the latest domestic case-law on autrefois/ abuse of process; and the power of the CA to quash acquittals when new evidence of guilt emerges, and the case-law.
Dr. Robin Loof: the European rules - what Article 54 of Schengen says and how the ECJ has interpreted it; how the resulting corpus of law differs from 1 above.
Nick Vamos: How the rules affect Mutual Legal Assistance cases in practice.
Professor Estella Baker: Do we have an accurate translation ? Are the UK courts really bound by Article 54? If so, in what circumstances ?
This event has been accredited with 2 CPD hours by the Bar Standards Board

Certificate in International Commercial Arbitration
This is a five-day intensive course that is aimed at introducing participants to international commercial and investment arbitration. The course covers the foundations of arbitration, contractual issues, choice of law, appointment of arbitrators and their powers, conduct of proceedings and other procedural matters and the role of national courts. By the end of the course it is expected that participants will possess a solid understanding of arbitration law and practice.
The course is aimed at legal practitioners with little, or no prior, knowledge of arbitration and alternative dispute settlement who wish to gain knowledge and skill that will allow them to pursue a career in this field. Moreover, it is also aimed at non-lawyers, such as engineers, who are considering working as technical experts or arbitrators. Finally, the course is suitable for law students interested in a specialisation in arbitration.

Dr Irini Katsirea, Senior Lecturer in Law, Middlesex University; IALS Visiting Fellow.
Chair: Professor Lorna Woods, City University.
Product placement, the practice of placing brands within editorial content, has recently been liberalized across the EU with the aim of tapping into an additional source of revenue for commercial television companies and programme makers while at the same time ensuring that they retain editorial control over programmes they transmit and protecting viewers from surreptitious advertising. This presentation will examine the implementation of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive rules on product placement in the UK and Germany and discuss whether the new regime is likely to achieve its aims.
This event is free.
