SUMMARY:MI Virtual Lunchtime Seminar: Dr Mary Guy\, Lancaster University
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome Dr Mary Guy\, Lancaster University Law School\, to deliver our 2nd MI Virtual Lunchtime Seminar\n\n\n\nRemoving competition law from the English NHS – what can it mean? \nDr Mary Guy\, Lancaster University \n2019 was bookended by proposals to review the competition provisions of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 (HSCA 2012)\, from NHS England’s NHS Long Term Plan in January to the Queen’s Speech following the December general election. These provisions include Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) oversight of the English NHS\, establishment of NHS Improvement as sectoral regulator\, applying general competition law and merger control\, and enshrining an “NHS-specific” competition regime.  \nThese proposals appear understood as “removing competition law” from the NHS – a popular move both across the political spectrum and within and beyond the medical profession in view of the controversies surrounding the HSCA 2012.  \nHowever\, “removing competition law” can have different meanings\, with divergent consequences. At least three broad approaches can be identified\, ranging from classifying the NHS as a Service of General Economic Interest (SGEI)\, thus partially exempt from competition law (the National Health Service (Amended Duties and Powers) Bill)\, to two extremes of reinstating Secretary of State oversight and completely exempting the NHS from competition law (the National Health Service Bill) and the current proposals to remove CMA oversight and NHS Improvement competition powers (the NHS Long Term Plan). \nThis paper considers how these three approaches differ\, and how the current approach appears capable of easy misunderstanding. Whereas the first two attempts to “remove competition law” from the NHS sought to address the underlying HSCA 2012 framework\, thus remove\, or reconfigure market structures\, the current approach may merely remove CMA oversight and the “NHS-specific” competition regime. This has raised concerns about “deregulation”\, or paving the way for an unregulated market to operate at a time when private sector delivery may be expanding: in other words\, it is not considered to “de-marketise” the NHS\, which might be considered the aim of those opposed to “NHS privatisation”.  \nPlease note that this seminar will be hosted on Blackboard Collaborate. Instructions for joining the seminar will be sent to you after registration. We do hope that you will be able to join us.

SUMMARY:Investor-State Dispute Settlement & Regulatory Autonomy: Is ISDS Evolving?
DESCRIPTION:Rochelle Cooper Dreyfuss is the Pauline Newman Professor of Law at New York University.\n\n\n\nPauline Newman Professor of Law\, New York University School of Law \nArthur Goodhart Visiting Professor in Legal Science\, University of Cambridge \nAbstract: \nBilateral investment treaties (BITs) have typically allowed investors to submit to arbitration claims that the host state has\, directly or indirectly\, expropriated their assets or denied them fair and equitable treatment.  For some time\, observers have expressed concerns that investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) chills sovereign regulatory authority.  However\, two recent intellectual property disputes\, both involving state action to protect health and access to medicine\, have brought the potential impact of ISDS on social welfare to the fore.  As a result\, states are now reconsidering the terms on which they are willing to offer investment protection.  A survey of BITS signed in 2019 reveals that some states have withdrawn entirely from dispute settlement.  Others are making less extreme modifications\, including procedural changes\, express acknowledgement of the state’s right to regulate\, and substantive limitations on the bases on which claims can be brought. Some agreements tackle the problem of health (or more generally\, IP-related) regulation specifically.  In this workshop these strategies will be evaluated to determine the extent to which they reduce regulatory chill in the IP realm. \nBio: \nRochelle Cooper Dreyfuss is the Pauline Newman Professor of Law at New York University School of Law and the co-director of the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law and Policy. She holds BA and MS degrees in chemistry and spent several years as a research chemist before entering Columbia University School of Law\, where she served as articles and book review editor of the Law Review. She is a member of the American Law Institute and served as a reporter for its Intellectual Property: Principles Governing Jurisdiction\, Choice of Law\, and Judgments in Transnational Disputes project. Dreyfuss clerked for Judge Wilfred Feinberg of the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and for Chief Justice Warren Burger of the US Supreme Court. She was a member of the National Academies’ Committee on Science\, Technology\, and Law\, the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services’ Advisory Committee on Genetics\, Health\, and Society\, and a consultant to the Federal Courts Study Committee\, the Presidential Commission on Catastrophic Nuclear Accidents\, and the Federal Trade Commission. She has edited several books on intellectual property\, including Balancing Wealth and Health: The Battle Over Intellectual Property and Access to Medicines in Latin America (2014\, with César Rodríguez-Garavito)\, which was published in 2016 in Spanish as Entre la salud y las patentes. She co-authored A Neofederalist Vision of TRIPS: Building a Resilient International Intellectual Property System (2012\, with Graeme Dinwoodie). For academic year 2019-2020\, she is the Arthur Goodhart Visiting Professor in Legal Science at Cambridge University. \nLocation  \nRoom G.33 \nLiberty Building \nUniversity of Leeds\, Leeds \n LS2 9JT \n \nPease use the postcode for Moorland Road\, LS6 1AN.  \nThe Liberty Building can also be found on the campus map.  \nAll welcome.

SUMMARY:The Legal Path to Sustainable Development: Law & Development Training 2020
DESCRIPTION:A4ID’s law and development training programme provides in-depth knowledge of the issues at the nexus of law and sustainable development.\n\n\n\nA4ID’s flagship annual law and development training programme provides lawyers and development professionals with an in-depth understanding of the challenges and opportunities at the heart law and sustainable development\, and how these relate to their everyday work. \nOur new 2020 programme covers topics spanning the different Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and explores how the law can be harnessed to reduce poverty\, promote equality and protect the environment. \nOur trainers are experts in their respective fields with legal\, development or academic backgrounds. Our panel includes experts from the World Bank\, Chatham House\, the Overseas Development Institute\, King’s College London\, Clifford Chance LLP\, Tax Justice Network and ClientEarth\, among others. \nWhy take this programme? \n\nWith just 10 years left to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development\, it is critical that the potential role of the law and lawyers in driving progress towards the SDGs is realised.\nThe private sector is increasingly integrating the SDGs into their business practice in order to better manage their risks\, build positions in growth markets\, and strengthen their supply chains. As companies seek advice about the legal and regulatory implications of aligning themselves with the goals\, the SDGs are fast becoming an emerging area of practice for lawyers to provide responsible advice to corporate clients.\nEqually\, the SDGs provide an effective framework for law firms to evolve toward a more strategic approach to pro bono work. The programme’s last module will provide participants with cutting edge development tools to promote strategic\, demand-led pro bono legal assistance and ensure that this work has a lasting positive impact.\nBuilding knowledge of the bigger picture means that lawyers will deepen their understanding of and familiarity with key development issues and their legal contexts; thereby increasing their standing within the legal community and becoming more valuable to their firms.\n\nWho is it for? \nA4ID’s highly interactive programme is aimed at experienced lawyers and development professionals who wish to harness the law to reduce poverty\, spur economic growth and preserve our planet. You need a legal background and the critical skills to apply your knowledge to a new area. \nDownload our brochure for more information. \n\n\n\nModule One: Harnessing the Law to Eradicate Poverty \nSaturday 25 January 2020 \nThe first session of the programme puts international development into context. The session will examine the persistence of global poverty and inequality within the framework of the SDGs\, and consider the role of the law and legal institutions in supporting international development efforts. \nAfter an initial introduction to the SDGs\, participants will learn how promoting socio-economic rights can help to alleviate poverty\, and in particular\, the importance of land rights in addressing global hunger. \nSpeakers will include Farooq Ullah\, Stakeholders Forum and Ruth Kelly\, University of York \nModule Two: Peace and the Rule of Law \nSunday  9 February 2020 \nModule two examines how strengthening the rule of law helps to promote peace and stability in developing countries. Michael Woolcock of the World Bank will discuss the need for strong\, accountable and transparent institutions in developing countries to uphold the rule of law. Meanwhile\, Dr Sarah Bracking of Kings College London\, will analyse the impact of political corruption on peace and development. \nParticipants will study how corruption drains vital financial resources\, which might otherwise fund economic and social development\, and analyse the modern meaning and manifestations of corruption\, as well as the impact of corrupt regimes and corrupt private sector actors on achieving the SDGs. \nSpeakers include Michael Woolock\, World Bank and Dr Sarah Bracking\, Kings College London \nModule Three: Putting People First – Legal Mechanisms to Reduce Inequalities \nSaturday 7 March 2020 \nModule three addresses the legal and development challenges in realising the different SDGs that directly relate to people: health\, education\, gender equality and access to clean water. The session will highlight the legal frameworks that can help to reduce inequalities in terms of access to health\, quality education and clean water and sanitation\, as well as legislation to enforce gender equality. \nThe first speaker\, Robert Yates of Chatham House will examine the legal determinant of health and the provision of universal health coverage. Peter Newborne of the Overseas Development Institute will then review the three principal legal tools for formulating access to water rights\, and consider the practicalities of bringing water infrastructure and access to marginalised communities in a low income country. \nEquality Now’s Jacqui Hunt will discuss gender equality in law and practice\, drawing on the NGOs advocacy experience\, followed by Delphine Dorsi of Right to Education\, who will explain the critical role of the right to education in sustainable development. \nSpeakers include Robert Yates\, Chatham House\, Peter Newborne\, Overseas Development Institute\, Jacqui Hunt\, Equality Now and Delphine Dorsi\, Right to Education  \nModule Four: Business and Human Rights – Prosperity for All \nSaturday 28 March 2020 \nIn areas with weak regulation\, large-scale construction projects can result in significant environmental and social damage\, with no recourse to justice for those harmed. This module will explore the Equator Principles\, which were developed by the International Finance Corporation to manage and mitigate the social and environmental risks of projects and to promote responsible development. \nAlongside the Equator Principles\, the UN Human Rights Council adopted the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) in 2011\, which have become the key reference for human rights conduct by companies globally. Being a soft law tool in nature\, the UNGPs triggered several hard law regulations to be adopted by several EU member states\, Australia\, and partly the US in the recent years. \nThe module will depict key developments and trends in the field of business and human rights internationally and use a practical case study to consider how human rights issues arise in the course of business. Participants will be encouraged to think about how lawyers can assist businesses to manage their human rights risks\, whilst taking into account their own professional\, legal and ethical responsibilities. \nSpeakers include Helena Anderson\, Ikigai Capital\, Isabel Ebert\, University of St Gallen\, and Anna Kirkpatrick\, Clifford Chance \nModule Five: The Role of Law in Protecting our Environment \nSaturday 25 April 2020 \nThe UN climate change negotiations are amongst the most complex multilateral law and policy processes ever. Some developing countries lack the legal and technical capacity to participate meaningfully and effectively in those negotiations. \nThis practical module will consider how the demands of developed and developing countries may differ\, and explore the role that lawyers can play in enabling negotiations\, and in particular assist countries that are most vulnerable to climate change\, yet often least equipped to cope. \nThe Paris Agreement set ambitious goals for global climate policy but national and regional policy and business and investment strategies need to align with these goals to make them happen. This module will also will look at how law can be used to drive the integration of climate-related financial risks into business and investment decisions\, as well as legal opportunities to promote a circular economy. \nSpeakers include Pascale Bird\, Legal Response Initiative\, Joanne Etherton\, ClientEarth and Maya de Souza\, UK Department for Environment\, Food & Rural Affairs \nModule Six: Using the Law to Promote Sustainable Partnerships and Finance Development \nSaturday 16 May 2020 \nThe World Trade Organisation has been instrumental in trade liberalisation and globalisation\, but its critics highlight the disproportionate benefits that have flowed to rich\, developed countries and the marginalisation of the least developed. This module will focus on the trade system and how it impacts on sustainable development. \nIn addition\, the module will explore why tax is fundamental for development and will outline what is being done to implement effective systems for tax collection and to close the mechanisms which enable tax avoidance and evasion. \nFinally\, participants will learn about the link between debt crises and development\, as well as the opportunities and challenges that private sector technology presents for sustainable development. \nSpeakers include James Scott\, Kings College London\, John Christensen\, Tax Justice Network\, and Tim Jones\, Jubilee Debt Campaign \nModule Seven: The Sustainable Development Goals and Pro Bono in Practice \nSaturday 6 June 2020 \nSituating pro bono legal assistance within an international development context\, the final module of the programme will encourage participants to think about how they can develop more impactful pro bono projects that respond to the environment that they are operating in. \nDrawing on the technical expertise of A4ID’s ROLE UK Programme\, this module will introduce participants to a variety of development tools\, including theories of change\, the COM-B model for stimulating behaviour change among a target group\, and monitoring and evaluation frameworks\, which allow practitioners to measure the effectiveness of their pro bono assistance and build on the lessons learnt to improve future efforts. \nParticipants will also hear from Pro Bono Managers who have already begun to integrate the SDGs into their work. The insights provided by these case study firms will leave participants with a greater understanding of how their own work can contribute to the sustainable development agenda. \nPrices and booking \nYou can book the full programme or individual modules.
