Call for Papers: Intermediaries in Commercial Law
Date:10 June 2021 – 11 June 2021

Summary: The Bentham House Conference 2021 will be on “Intermediaries in Commercial Law” and held at UCL on 10-11 June 2021. Intermediaries play an important role in many aspects of commercial law. Yet there has been little focused attention upon intermediaries as a crucial category of actors. The aim of this conference is to consider current issues concerning intermediaries from a number of different angles, adopting a range of methodological approaches. The conference will consider the rights and liabilities of intermediaries, and how intermediaries can affect the legal position of others.

This conference is intended to be the first in a biennial series of conferences on different aspects of commercial law. The conference is organized by UCL Faculty of Laws in collaboration with the HKCML @ CityU HK, the Notre Dame Law School and the Centre for Law & Business @ National University of Singapore.

On behalf of all the organizers, the HKCML now invites proposals for papers to be presented at the conference any aspect of the conference theme. Proposals of up to 500 words should set out the topic, provide an abstract as well as the name, institutional affiliation and email address of the proposer and be sent to Professor Paul S Davies (paul.s.davies@ucl.ac.uk) on or before 1 May 2020. Finalized conference papers will be asked to submit by 20 May 2021. Conference presenters will be exempted from registration fee.

Staff Seminar: Reforming the law relating to secured transactions in Mexico
Summary: The Commercial Code of 1889 did not allow a “bottoms up” approach to the development of commercial law in Mexico.  This, coupled with a civil law doctrine that limited the use of property rights, prevented the development of secured transactions.  Legal reforms have cleared these issues giving Mexico a system similar to the one in the US.
