Annual Conference on European Insurance Law 2010

This conference will provide not only an overview of current issues and future challenges in European insurance law, but also a forum for discussion between legal practitioners active in the sector.

Specific insurance contract law questions will be regarded in the light of recent developments in the fields of consumer and financial services law. The following issues will be analysed by experts on the subject:

•   Growing challenges for liability insurance: new technologies and climate change
•   Collective redress: turning insurance companies into an easy target?
•   Legal insurance in the light of the Eschig case (C-199/08)
•   Gender equality in insurance coverage

A discussion on the financial crisis' impact in the sector and the pertinence of the newly adopted Solvency II Directive in addressing future challenges will be organised.
