CELS Lunchtime Seminar: 'Assimilated Law in Motion: Diverging Paths for EU Air Passenger Rights after Brexit?'

Speaker: Dr Johannes Ungerer, Oxford University

Abstract: Assimilated law, i.e. retained EU law, is no longer just a snapshot kept for continuity after Brexit. It is a body of UK domestic law whose future development now raises its own questions. This paper takes the first EU reform of the Air Passenger Regulation since 2004, alongside the UK Parliament’s current debate of the Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill, as a case study. It asks how the assimilated version of the Air Passenger Regulation could or should be amended, which criteria should guide that process, what consequences follow, and what scrutiny is required.

Biography: Dr Johannes Ungerer is Senior Research Lecturer in German Law, European and International Private Law, a Deputy Director of the Institute of European and Comparative Law, and an Associate Research Fellow of St Hilda's College, University of Oxford.

A sandwich lunch precedes the talk in the Basement Atrium at 12.30pm.
