The MMLA Education Committee is excited to announce that it will be hosting a Case Law Update Seminar, scheduled to take place on or around 25 June 2024 between 4 pm-6.30 pm, to be followed by drinks.
During this seminar, three recent local cases which are of relevance to Malta’s legal development/ maritime industry will be tackled by means of case studies. The suggested formats are as follows:
Format A:
Each case will be tackled individually by a rotating panel of lawyers who acted for the parties in these cases. The case is to be assessed from the position of plaintiff and defendant with the final decision (if any) and its implications on the industry discussed by the said panel.
and/or
Format B:
A case study is presented by an individual lawyer. This format should also discuss the position of the plaintiff, that of the defendant and the final decision (if any) together with its implications on the industry.
Each case study should not take longer than 40 minutes, with a further 10 minutes put aside for questions after each panel/ presentation.
In the spirit of academic discussion, should you have an interesting case that you would like to put forward, we would encourage you to liaise with your counterparty lawyer/s so as to organise a lively debate on the subject matter.
In this regard, we are calling on lawyers who would be interested in contributing to the event to register their interest by sending an email to Dr Martina Farrugia (martina.farrugia@fenechlaw.com) by 15th May 2024, forwarding a brief summary of the case to be discussed and detailing why this is of relevance.
We look forward to hearing from you and with your help, putting together an interesting and educational seminar.
