Activity: Presenting or Organising an Event › Organiser of special symposia
Description
Court judgments from the Common law world are commonly referred to by Scottish legal practitioners. This happens despite the fact that Scotland is not a Common law jurisdiction and Scots law is said to be founded on distinct principles, rather than precedents. Precedents – from around the world – often throw up novel and interesting factual scenarios, however.
This event, consequently, brings together a range of subject-experts to talk about recent precedents from outwith Scotland, with a view to analysing how such cases should be handled, according to the principles of Scots law, should similar factual situations occur in this jurisdiction.
