The Laboratoire des sciences Juridiques, Politique, Économiques et de Gestion is pleased to welcome as part of the "Matins du -JPEG" 2024 :

Arnaud LATIL, Senior Lecturer HDR in Private Law, Sorbonne University, Researcher at CERDI (Paris-Saclay) and SCAI (Sorbonne University)

for a seminar session entitled :

Digital law: a risk-based approach

Digital law is a rapidly developing field. In his recent book (Le droit du numérique, Une approche par les risques, Dalloz, 2023), Arnaud Latil sheds light on its history, developments and numerous ramifications in civil law, consumer law and criminal law, as well as in administrative law and fundamental freedoms.
It sees digital activities as the implementation of techniques, in the same way as industrial or scientific techniques. This 'risk-based approach' is now at the heart of European and international public policy. It applies to financial market law, food law and cyber security law. Arnaud Latil explores its three dimensions: the risk-based approach is liberal, preventive and resilient.
Risk law has its roots in the philosophy and sociology of technology. It aims to protect health, safety and fundamental rights by mobilising complex concepts such as trust, neutrality, sovereignty, innovation and resilience. However, risk law is still little known. Yet it is at the root of major changes in our legal systems.

The discussion will be led by Agnès Maffre Baugé, MCF in Private Law (-JPEG-AU)

The session will take place on Friday 12 January 2024 at 10.00 a.m. in room 2E04.
