Adriani Dori renews visiting researcher role at Genoa for 2024

Webinar: Law in Public Interest: Collective Redress, Funding & Climate Regulation
Our Vici team organises an online seminar titled ‘Law in the Public Interest: Collective Redress, and Litigation Funding and Climate Change Regulation’ on 19 November from 15-17 hrs (CET).
The event will explore the intersections between legal frameworks and the public interest in a time of increasing concerns about climate change, corporate responsibility, and the cost barriers to pursuing collective justice. As climate change becomes a global priority, regulatory frameworks and climate litigation are holding governments and corporations accountable for their environmental impact. Collective redress and litigation funding also fulfil this role and are gaining prominence in recent years with the adoption of legislation such as the EU Representative Actions Directive and the Dutch WAMCA and with high-profile cases like the Post Office litigation in the UK.
Esteemed speakers are: Eva van der Zee (University of Hamburg, Germany) on Behavioural Insights on Climate Change Law; Koen Rutten (Finch, Netherlands) on Is Funding Collective Litigation still Affordable? and Flora Page (23ES, United Kingdom) on What the Bates v Post Office Litigation reveals about the Pros and Cons of Litigation Funding. Introduction and moderation by Adrian Cordina and Xandra Kramer

As part of a research collaboration, Adriani Dori continues her role as a visiting researcher at the University of Genoa for the year 2024, building upon the foundation laid in the previous year. Under the supervision of Professor Michele Siri of the Genoa Centre of Law and Finance, Adriani’s research will further explore the intersection of procedural fairness and financial regulation, with a focus on Third-Party Funding of Civil Litigation (TPLF). This extension opens avenues for enhanced synergies between the VICI project and the academic community in Genoa, fostering collaborative teaching and research activities. Moreover, plans are underway for a joint seminar on TPLF organized by Genoa and VICI, facilitating knowledge exchange and academic dialogue in this critical area of study.
