A highlight of the year for PEOPIL’s members of the RTA & Whiplash and Tourism Group took place in the beautiful city of Malaga, Spain on 3 – 4 November 2022.

At PEOPIL’s conference in Copenhagen in September 2022, Linda Egeland and Carl Aasland Jerstad, both attorneys at Haver Advokatfirma AS, presented the Norwegian “America-case”. In June 2022 the Supreme Court of Norway delivered a decision in the case.
The Conference for Central and Eastern European Lawyers in Bucharest has certainly been a success for PEOPIL.
