TO OUR READERS
Welcome to the Spring Edition of the DRInsider, the
quarterly Newsletter of the Wolf Theiss Disputes team, in which we
provide an overview of recent developments in CEE/SEE.
On 26 March 2019, the EU Parliament approved the controversial
Directive on the Harmonization of the EU Copyright Law; in spite of
considerable reservations and despite Europe-wide protests. We
provide you with an overview of the most discussed provisions.
There have also been some interesting developments in the
national jurisdictions in recent months:
Following the general aim for clearer and faster proceedings, we
present the essential changes of the latest amendments in Romanian
civil procedure law. In addition, we look at issues connected to
the invalidity of an arbitration clause with the latest statements
of the Austrian Supreme Court and a recent decision of the Russian
Supreme Court on the use of model clauses to avoid any
uncertainties.
