APPLIED workshop
On October 23rd Jos Hoevenaars joined an international group of experts in a workshop organized by the researchers of the Assessing Collective Private Parties’ Litigation in the Economy of Data (APPLIED) project. It aims to explore the evolving landscape of data protection litigation within the EU, focusing on the effectiveness of collective private enforcement (CPE). The workshop’s goal was to connect the relevant debates in the field of collective redress and data protection law, as well as explore how they relate to issues of private enforcement in the emerging fields of platform and data law. It brought together academics working in various fields surrounding collective data protection litigation in the EU. Jos was asked to comment on the project design and preliminary findings as well as provide reflections based on his expertise around the funding of collective actions.

On 3 September 2019, Erlis Themeli participated in the 110th Annual Conference of the Society of Legal Scholars, “Central Questions about Law” held at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston, the United Kingdom. This Conference gathers academics from the UK and abroad to discuss almost all the topics related to law. A part of the Conference is dedicated to private international issues. Erlis presented his research on possible limits to consumer protection in the Brussels I (recast) Regulation. This study suggests that in the digital world some customers may conceal or deform their identity. As a result, unaware traders may find themselves dealing with customers domiciled in jurisdictions where they do not want to trade. The aim of the study is consider the possible consequences that new technologies have on private international law.
