The Specialization of Private International Law: Reflections in the Field of Business Law
On 29 November 2024 in Dijon, from 9 AM to 5 PM, the Centre de Recherche sur le Droit International des Marchés et des Investissements Internationaux (CREDIMI) of the University of Burgundy, in partnership with the Centre Droit Éthique et Procédures (CDEP) of the University of Artois, is organizing a colloquium titled La spécialisation du droit international privé. Réflexion dans le champ du droit des affaires.
The scientific direction is led by Gaëlle Widiez (University of Burgundy), and the scientific committee is composed of Marion Ho-Dac (University of Artois), Clotilde Jourdain-Fortier (University of Burgundy) and Gaëlle Widiez (University of Burgundy).
The colloquium will open with introductory remarks from Clotilde Jourdain-Fortier (Director of CREDIMI) and Gaëlle Widiez (University of Burgundy), followed by general reflections on specialization by Nicolas Balat (Aix-Marseille University).
The colloquium will then unfold in two thematic parts, each addressing key aspects of the specialization of private international law.
The first part, chaired by Natalie Joubert (University of Burgundy), focuses on the specialization of private international law rules related to the protection of people and the planet. It features a series of presentations: Olivera Boskovic (Université Paris Cité) will discuss international litigation on environmental damage, followed by Marie Nioche (Université Paris Nanterre) who will delve into international litigation based on due diligence. The session continues with Marion Ho-Dac (University of Artois) exploring international litigation generated by artificial intelligence, and concludes with Marie-Elodie Ancel (Université Paris 2 Panthéon-Assas) addressing international litigation concerning personal data.
The second part shifts focus to the specialization of private international law rules related to market regulation and is chaired by Clotilde Jourdain-Fortier (University of Burgundy). This session examines diverse issues, beginning with Valérie Pironon (University of Nantes) discussing international litigation in competition law. Next, Juliette Morel-Maroger (Université Paris-Dauphine) explores international financial litigation, followed by Constantin Ringot-Namer (University of Lorraine) shedding light on international litigation related to defective products.
The day concludes with a comparative dialogue on the specialization of private international law, offering perspectives from different regions. Béligh Elbati (University of Osaka) will provide insights from Asia and the Arab world, while Sarah Laval (Université du Littoral Côte d’Opale) examines the Anglo-American perspective and, finally, Cyril Nourissat (Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3) will discuss the perspective of the European Union.
