Inside Stibbe - Together with ABN AMRO, Stibbe has developed the Wooncontractgemak ('Easy Housing Contract') application last year. This SAAS application helps housing corporations and prospective tenants to collect the necessary data for the allocation of a home.

Conference - Expo Real will host its annual property fair from 7 to 9 October 2019; Europe's biggest B2B real estate and investment trade fair. Teams from Stibbe’s offices in Amsterdam and Brussels will be attending.

Seminar - Stibbe, together with Bureau Stedelijke Planning, is organising a seminar on 5 November on the most recent relevant case law following the Appingedam case. Three months after the final judgment, additional case law from the Council of State has been published concerning the significance of the Services Directive for branching rules and other restrictions on establishment. On 10 October, guidelines titled 'How to deal with the Services Directive in spatial retail policy' will also be published.

Short Reads - De politie is aansprakelijk voor de schietpartij in een winkelcentrum Alphen aan den Rijn in 2011. Dat oordeelt de Hoge Raad in zijn arrest van 20 september 2019 (ECLI:NL:HR:2019:1409). Bij deze schietpartij vonden zes mensen de dood en raakten zestien mensen gewond. De dader doodde ook zichzelf. Nabestaanden van dodelijke slachtoffers, slachtoffers die gewond raakten en winkeliers spreken de politie aan tot schadevergoeding. Zij voeren aan dat de politie de vergunning voor de wapens die de man gebruikte, niet had mogen verlenen.
