Institute of European and Comparative Law Annual Report for 2012-2013

Introduction I am delighted to present the Annual Report of the Oxford Institute of European and Comparative Law (IECL) for the academic year 2012-13. It seems that the report gets longer every year, surely a good sign, given that it is the major record of our activities. These are listed in greater detail in the following pages, but I would like to highlight a few of them in the introduction. In March, one of our main research projects came to an end after more than three years work. It analysed the interaction of a (potential) optional European instrument establishing a uniform legal framework for cross-border contracts. The project involved some 40 scholars from the UK and Germany and was organized in collaboration with Professor Gerhard Dannemann from the Berlin Humboldt University. It received a substantial grant from the Arts and Humanities Council and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. The findings were published with Oxford University Press: Gerhard Dannemann and Stefan Vogenauer (eds), The Common European Sales Law in Context: Interactions with English and German Law (2013). At the same time, no less than three volumes assembling the contributions to previous IECL conferences saw the light of day in early 2013. Sybe de Vries, Ulf Bernitz and Stephen Weatherill edited The Protection of Fundamental Rights in the EU After Lisbon. Katja Ziegler and Peter M Huber were responsible for Current Problems in the Protection of Human Rights. Dorota Leczykiewicz and – again! - Stephen Weatherill edited The Involvement of EU Law in Private Law Relationships. All the volumes were published in the Institute’s by now well-established series ‘Studies of the Oxford Institute of European and Comparative Law’ with Hart Publishing. Moreover, we continued to run the Faculty’s EU Law and Comparative Law Discussion Groups that brought in a great number of external and internal speakers to address topical issues. We also organized the usual raft of conferences, workshops and symposia on topics including “Current Issues in the Law of Arbitration: French, British and European Perspectives” to “Why Competition Law?” (I had always wondered), “Innovation, Choice and Competition Policy” in our annual series on “Trends in Retail Competition: Private Labels, Brands and Competition Policy”, “Antitrust Enforcement” and the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts 2010. Our new collaboration with the Stockholm Centre of Commercial Law and the Law Faculty of the University of Stockholm was launched with a one-day conference at Christ Church before the beginning of Michaelmas. In Hilary we held a seminar aiming to introduce junior researchers in financial markets law from Stockholm to Oxford scholars with similar interests and vice versa.

The Oxford French Law Moot is now in its sixth year. Twelve teams from all over Europe came to the IECL in March to moot a case based on French law and in the French language before a panel of French judges. The team from University College London carried the day. As the AHRC-funded programme came to an end, Dr Caroline Harvey, who had been employed on the grant for two years, left the Institute. At the same time, the fixed-term contracts of Dr Katja Ziegler (Brost Lecturer in German and EU Law) and Dr Georg Ringe (DAAD Lecturer in German and EU Law) expired. We were very sorry to lose them all but were delighted to seeing them all going off to excellent positions (Freshfields Frankfurt office, the University of Leicester and the Copenhagen Business School, respectively). We welcomed Dr Konstanze von Papp as the new Brost Career Development Fellow. She joined us from Allen & Overy in London. Dr Andreas von Goldbeck-Stier, the new DAAD Lecturer, moved from the Hamburg Max Planck Institute for Comparative and Private International Law. They were both introduced with a short piece in the last issue of the Faculty’s Law News. Both are experts in international commercial arbitration and will, among other things, establish a new BCL course in this field. Another arrival from the Hamburg Max Planck, Dr Jan Peter Schmidt, left all too soon and handed over to the new Max Planck Fellow, Juan Carlos Dastis, who will spend the customary year at the IECL. He is joined by Dr David Langlet from the University of Stockholm, our second Stockholm Centre Oxford Fellow, funded by the Stockholm Centre for Commercial Law. David is an expert in European environmental law and will work on reconciling the scramble for mineral resources and the imperative of sustainability in the trade law regime. He replaced Dr Gustaf Sjöberg, a banking lawyer, who returns to Stockholm after a year at Oxford. Dr Michal Bobek, our Volkswagen State of the State Fellow, finalized his book with Oxford University Press and moved on to become a professor at the Collège d’Europe in Bruges. In October 2013 we were joined by Dr Rodrigo Momberg Uribe from the Universidad Austral de Chile. He holds a new position as a Career Development Fellow in Comparative Law for three years. Finally, we look forward to welcoming Professor Marie Goré from the University of Paris II (Panthéon-Assas) as our 2014 French Visiting Fellow. This new programme was established in 2013, with Professor Philippe Stoffel-Munck as the first French Visiting Fellow. It will enable professors from Paris I (Panthéon-Sorbonne) and Paris II (Panthéon-Assas) to spend a month at Oxford in order to pursue their research and establish links with the Oxford Faculty. Another important personnel matter concerns the co-ordination of our highly successful ‘Law with Law Studies in Europe’ degree (internally known as ‘Course 2’), a four-year programme that runs along our ordinary three-year BA in Jurisprudence and enables students to spend one year at one of our European partner universities. In the summer, Professor John Cartwright stepped down from being Academic Director of Undergraduate Exchanges, a post he had held, with a short interruption, for more than a decade and which he had filled so efficiently that it went almost unnoticed that Course 2 is the biggest undergraduate exchange in the university and that the Course 2 students tend to achieve the best finals results among the Law undergraduates. We are all tremendously grateful to John for his sterling work. He will be replaced by Nick Barber. As usual, I am delighted to add a few further notes of thanks. At the IECL we are fortunate to have the support of many individuals and institutions that enable us to offer a range of events and activities that contribute to the strength of the Oxford Law Faculty. First among them is our major benefactor, Clifford Chance LLP, which supports the organization of Course 2 and our conference programme. Linklaters LLP supports the University’s chair in comparative law, Gide LLP sponsors the French Law moot and the DAAD funds the DAAD Lecturer. The Wallenberg Foundation supported the Oxford Stockholm Wallenberg Venture in European Law for the past 10 years. As their funding expires, we are delighted that the

Torsten Söderbergs Stiftelse and the Ragnar Söderbergs Stiftelse have stepped in to enable the continuation of the activities pursued by the Venture. We are extremely grateful to all of our benefactors. Looking ahead, we expect another eventful academic year. The Law Faculty recently decided to establish new undergraduate exchange programmes with a university in China and another university in the Far East. The negotiations will begin in the coming months, and Course 2 will soon be much more than ‘Law with Law Studies in Europe’. Watch this space.

Law with Law Studies in Europe and the European Student Exchange Programme The Institute continues to be responsible for the Faculty’s four-year BA in ‘Law with Law Studies in Europe’. This essentially is a variant on the regular Oxford law degree that includes an extra year spent at one of Oxford’s partner universities abroad. It is thus also frequently called ‘Law Course 2’. The following options are on offer: • Law and French Law with 15 students per year going to the University of Paris

Panthéon-Assas; • Law and German Law with 12 students going to either Bonn, Konstanz, Munich or

Regensburg; • Law and Italian Law with two students going to Siena; • Law and Spanish Law with two students going to the University of Pompeu Fabra in

Barcelona; • Law and European Law with four students going to Leiden in the Netherlands. The Institute administers the programme, including the provision of preparatory teaching in foreign law and languages and keeping constant contact with the academic directors and the administrators of the exchange programmes in our partner universities. Within this framework, the Institute also provides a focus and support network for the students coming to Oxford from our partner universities under the exchange agreements. These students are registered for a one-year programme suitable to their level of study, normally the Diploma in Legal Studies. With 35 incoming and 35 outgoing students per year, Course 2 is the biggest undergraduate exchange programme in the University. Overall, Course 2 remains one of the success stories of the Institute. Its graduates are highly sought after by big law firms which appreciate their linguistic skills, their experience abroad and the teaching they receive in Oxford. A detailed report on Course 2 for 2012-2013 was submitted to the Law Board for its meeting in June 2013 and can be viewed on the Law Faculty intranet.
