Seminar with Prof. Dr. Lukas Rademacher (Kiel University, GERMANY)
We are happy to host a special seminar led by Professor Dr. Lukas Rademacher from Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (Kiel University, Germany).
Date: 12 June 2026
Time: 11:00
Venue: Room 2002, Faculty of Law and Administration
Language: English with Polish translation available
The seminar will address the highly significant theoretical and practical challenges related to environmental protection through private law. The first part of the seminar will report on current proceedings before German courts concerning claims for damages due to climate change, raising interesting questions of private international law and substantive law. The second part will address the current legislative process regarding the "right to repair"; the corresponding directive must also be implemented in Poland. This raises equally interesting private international law questions.
This seminar will be valuable for:
- Faculty members and researchers in civil law, environmental law, private international law, and EU law
- Doctoral and advanced law students
- Judges and legal professionals and practitioners
