- Please see below invitation on behalf of the European Commission, DG Justice:
Upon the request and funding of DG Justice, BEUC (the European Consumer Organisation) is organising seminars for judges to raise awareness among them of collective redress in general and in particular of the Representative Actions Directive (EU) 2020/1828.
In setting up these seminars, BEUC took particular care to work with expert judges, in line with the European judicial training principles.
The first of these seminars is advertised below:

Dear Madam/Sir,
You are kindly invited to the following online workshop:
Judges & collective redress: new perspectives and opportunities for judiciary
Thursday 12 May 2022, 15:00 to 17:30 CEST This online event will be held in English and is reserved for judges and members of the judiciary.
>>> REGISTER HERE <<< Judges may play an important role in collective redress actions following mass harm situations. Mass harm situations refer to cases where a number of persons are harmed by the same illegal practices relating to the violation of their rights by one or more traders or other persons. Collective redress actions may seek the cessation of such practices and/or compensation. The fact that such disputes concern large numbers of persons raises specific procedural challenges but also offers opportunities in terms of efficient administration of justice.
In the context of the EU’s Representative Actions Directive, which will come into application in June 2023, judges will be called upon to undertake specific tasks. Depending on the national rules transposing the Directive, they may be required to assess the admissibility and merits of the actions, to ensure that consumers are appropriately represented and informed, to verify that the interests of all represented parties are well-protected, etc. The objective of this workshop is to raise awareness on collective redress and to exchange on the roles of judges in collective redress actions.
During a panel discussion, three judges with recognised expertise in the field of collective redress will share their insight and experience: Mr. Fabian Reuschle (judge at the Stuttgart Regional court – Landgericht – Germany). Fabian Reuschle actively participated in the adoption of the German Capital Markets Model Case Act (KapMuG) establishing a lead case procedure for the collective handling of capital market-related actions.
Sir Peter Roth (judge at the London High Court & UK Competition Appeal Tribunal). Sir Peter presided over a collective litigation against MasterCard lodged on behalf of 46 million consumers. Mr. Jeroen Chorus (retired judge, formerly at the Amsterdam Court of Appeal, the Netherlands). Jeroen Chorus was notably in charge of the Dexia and Shell mass settlement with consequences on consumers in multiple European jurisdictions.
Programme:
This project is funded by the European Union.
Attendance to the event is free but registration is mandatory. The number of registrations is limited. Therefore, please register as soon as possible via the following link.

- The Directorate of Judicial Child Protection (DPJJ) of the French Ministry of Justice will organize on 21st and 22nd June 2022, an event on unaccompanied minors in Roubaix (Lille, France) at the National School for Judicial Youth Protection (ENPJJ).
The aim of this event is be to present the different evaluation methods put in place across the EU, and to identify if possible “good practices” by bringing together several disciplines (social work, health, justice) as well as professionals from different backgrounds, academics, associations, representatives of EU Member States and European institutions. The chosen subject will also make it possible to tackle, in a broader way, other questions, such as those related to the assessment of the needs of minors and the mutual recognition of assessments between Member States.
This two day event will be composed of 4 roundtables (in French and English) each dealing with a specific topic :
Roundtable 1 : Assessment of minority, isolation and identification
Roundtable 2 : UAM needs assessment
Roundtable 3 : UAM in confit with the law
Roundtable 4 : exchange of information between member states
The DPJJ is at your disposal for any request for information on the presentation of the conference and the roundtables.
If you wish to participate, intervene, or even propose relevant associations, professionals working in the field of the care of the unaccompanied minors do not hesitate to contact : tara.nasrollahi@justice.gouv.fr and claire-marie.casanova@justice.gouv.fr
