Second IRLM (2009)
In April 2009, the Second International Roman Law Moot Court Competition and Colloquium was organised by the Institute Mohamed Ali for the Research of the Eastern Tradition and the Municipality of Philippi. The Moot was sponsored by the Athens law firms Zepos & Yannopoulos and Karatza & partners and the Kavala law firm Koimtzidis, Paparalis & Kogkalidis.
The libellus involved the appropriation of state property by government officials and a point on servitudes (easements), taken directly from the decision of in the House of Lords of Moncrieff v Jamieson [2007] 1 WLR 2620. The elaborate case gave teams a wide variety of points on which to found their arguments – a rare opportunity in mooting competitions. The competition was followed by a colloquium, which also focused on the corruption of lawyers and officials in Roman law. Papers were delivered by leading academics from the universities represented.
