This session co-hosted by the Finance, Innovation and Regulation Working Group, the International Law Working Group, and the International Economic Law and Policy Working Group features a presentation by Professor Louise Gullifer (Cambridge University, UNIDROIT) and Theodora Kostoula (EUI, UNIDROIT).
This presentation derives from an ongoing project run by the Cape Town Convention Academic Project and the UNIDROIT Foundation, about the economic evaluation of international commercial law reform. The speakers will present the main ideas of this project, and the challenges and issues arising when evaluating possible international private commercial law reform projects. In this session, we will also discuss whether the framework can be helpful to evaluate the legal unification of other areas of law through binding or non-binding rules of international law, as well as the limitations of such an approach. This event may therefore also be of interest for anyone who is interested in the general question of whether harmonisation and uniform rules should be pursued.
