The Malta Law Academy Foundation, the educational arm of the Chamber of Advocates, has announced announcing a new series of talks.

A new quarterly law seminars series is being launched and coordinated by the MLA through a collaboration between David Fabri and Tonio Borg, both senior lecturers with the Faculty of Law.

The first talk in this series, ‘Judicial Review of Administrative Action and article 469A – Time for Reform’, will be delivered by Dr Borg on Wednesday at noon at the Chamber of Advocates’ Conference Hall. 

This event will effectively kick off a busy calendar of talks and conferences throughout this new year.

In fact, on March 15, which is World Consumers’ Rights Day, the Malta Law Academy will again host the Annual Consumer Law Conference in collaboration with the Department of Commercial Law at the University of Malta. This year’s conference will benefit from the presence of the distinguished participation of Prof. Guido Alpa as key speaker. Since 1978, Prof. Alpa has been Italy’s foremost expert and writer on consumer rights and the development of consumer law and has authored over 50 leading books on consumer law and civil law subjects. 

The conference will also be addressed by Omar Grech, Theresienne Mifsud, Annalies Muscat, Antoine Grima, Mariosa Cardona and Mireille Caruana. It will be chaired by Dr Muscat.

The second talk in the Quarterly Legal Seminars is scheduled for Wednesday, April 3 and will be addressed by Stefano Filletti on the theme ‘New Age instruments in Criminal Law: Proportionality and challenges’. This lecture will cover specific criminal law instruments such as the European Arrest Warrant or the pan-European freezing and confiscation orders, and the balance with human rights and the principle of proportionality.
