In the beautiful and historical town of Thessaloniki, capital of Greek Macedonia, the perfectly organised PEOPIL Occupational Health & RTA Conference could be nothing more than another successful event.
Highly ranked and accredited in their field professors, attorneys and technical experts, mainly from Europe but also from other parts of the world, formed a very strong team of panelists and speakers, while all participants were warmly welcomed by the Athens and Thessaloniki Bar Association representatives, as per the well known Greek hospitality.
In January 2017, in the midst of the largest immigration wave from Turkey towards Europe, via the eastern Greek islands, two asylum seekers, one from Syria and another from Egypt, died in their sleep due to toxic carbon monoxide inhalation in the Refugees’ Reception and Identification Center of Moria, on the island of Lesvos in Greece.
After a pause of over two years due to covid the long-awaited conference was indeed a great success.
When we started the McGill /PEOPIL aviation seminar collaboration back in 2008 in Toulouse, France we were 17 participants, including speakers. That seminar included a much appreciated visit to Airbus and their 380 assembly plant.

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. Spending a few days with PEOPIL friends and colleagues was a much needed escape for many of us who were eager for some sunshine as winter approached. We had plenty of catching up to do after the last couple of years where our face to face meet ups were sadly much curtailed.
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.
