"LEGAL SYSTEMS FOR THE 21st CENTURY / 
MARKETS AND FAIRNESS"

 


The seminar ‘Legal Systems for the 21st Century’ aims to unravel some of the (complementary) weaknesses and strengths of several mechanisms in regulating corporate behaviour, especially in light of non-legal (e.g. psychological) factors that might influence such behaviour.

Questions to be addressed are, e.g., what elements of which of the regulatory mechanisms in place are actually useful for a 21st century legal system? What is wrong with command-and-control legislative interventions? How to circumvent over-arching regulatory and enforcement policies?

During this seminar the emphasis will be on developments within private enforcement (by citizens) on the one hand and public enforcement (by governmental agencies) on the other. As to private enforcement, i.e. litigation by private actors, the focus is on the challenges that various traditional mechanisms have in performing well in their enforcement task, illustrated by evidence that (a) for several reasons certain types of disputes have moved out of expensive and slow court procedures into apparently more effective alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms (i.e. forms of dispute settlement without involving the judiciary; examples range from consumer-trader, personal injuries, to B2B sectors), and that (b) collective actions are far less effective than ‘new regulatory mechanisms’ or ‘legal technologies’ like redress powers used by regulators and by consumer ombudsmen.

These approaches require academics, corporate leaders and policy makers to revise their understanding of the goals, efficiency, techniques, structures and desired outcomes of regulatory regimes.

As to the public enforcement part, the seminar looks at changes in (a) the practice of enforcement and compliance away from deterrence to supporting performance and compliance, (b) the understanding of the empirical evidence on underlying theories, such as deterrence and supportive or performance-based approaches, (c) the regulatory structures, such as the UK’s co-regulatory model of ‘regulated self-assurance’, and (d) the understanding of the policy implications of behavioural psychology. Some elements of the developments within both approaches are already visible in some countries and sectors.

As will be addressed during the seminar, the combination of these two approaches and the developments within them, requires academics, corporate leaders and policy makers to revise their understanding of the goals, efficiency, techniques, structures and desired outcomes of regulatory regimes and to consider the implications for our understanding of accountability and fault based liability regimes.

This seminar is jointly organized by HEC Paris Law Department, KU Leuven, Oxford University and Erasmus University Rotterdam School of Law.
