Jeroen Kortmann is moderator of panel at GCR's 8th Annual Brussels Conference "The bigger picture"

Seminar - Stibbe is organising a symposium in Amsterdam on Thursday 7 November entitled 'From Stint to Fipronil: a compensation fund for victims of energetic government intervention in crisis situations'. During this symposium, Stibbe lawyer Tijn Kortmann and Prof. Pieter van Vollenhoven, alongside other experts,  will speak about the compensation fund which, according to van Vollenhoven, injured parties should be able to call upon if a decision by the government turns out to be too drastic.

Short Reads - The General Court annulled the EUR 33.6 million fine imposed on banking group HSBC for its participation in the euro interest rates derivatives cartel. Full annulment was granted based on the Commission's failure to provide sufficiently detailed reasoning for the first step of the fine calculation, establishing the value of sales. As the value of sales could not be established in a straightforward way, the Commission used a proxy. When doing so, the Commission needs to properly explain its reasoning to allow the companies fined to understand how it arrived at the proxy. 

Conference - On the 17th of October, Glenn Heirman has been invited to speak at the Antwerp Liability Law and Insurance Chair (ALLIC) conference on the new rules on evidence.  

Seminar - Join us for a seminar on recent developments in Insurance Law on 3 October, 2019 at our Brussels office from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
