Self-learning materials

The Criminal Detention Database 2015-2022 combines in one place information on detention conditions in all 27 EU Member States as well as the United Kingdom.

The training materials were conceived in a way to be used in the context of a 1.5-day seminar. Three case studies per topic were drafted by renowned EU experts. Each case study encompasses the case scenario, the suggested solution and some methodological advice for using the case. The following topics are covered: Brussels Ia Regulation and the legislative instruments facilitating the handling of cross-border cases, such as taking of evidence and service of documents. Developed with the financial support of the Civil Justice Programme of the European Union.

The training materials were conceived in a way to be used in the context of a 1.5-day seminar. There are two sets of case studies: one deals with the selected topics on an introductary level while the second allows more advanced training. Each case study encompasses the case scenario, the suggested solution, and some methodological advice for using the case together with the relevant background documentation which is needed in order to solve the cases. The finalised training materials are freely available and downloadable.

Set of case studies on cross-border mediation in civil and commercial cases developed by Professor Brian Hutchinson. The materials cover the following cases: i) international sales and distribution contract dispute, ii) workplace/employment dispute and iii) cross-border consumer dispute. They include the case scenarios, role-play instructions, necessary background documentation and methodological advice. The case studies do not contain any solutions as this would not be suitable for mediation training.

The case study does not contain any solution as this would not be suitable for mediation training. Developed with the financial support of the Justice Programme 2014-2020 of the European Union.

This report examines the EU’s main criminal law instrument in the field of counter-terrorism, Directive (EU) 2017/541. Specifically, it considers how the directive engages issues of fundamental rights, affecting individuals, groups and society as a whole.

A good understanding of economic principles, analysis and methods has become an important element of a well-founded ruling by the national judge, whether in cases of public or private enforcement of competition law. This is even more so since late 2016, by when the Member States had to implement the Antitrust Damages Actions Directive and take into account its accompanying documents.
