Book 6 of the New Belgian Civil Code: Introduction and Practical Implications
Webinar | 05.23.24, 12:30 PM CEST - 2:00 PM CEST
Address
Virtual
In collaboration with the IBJ
On February 1st this year, Book 6 of the new Belgian Civil Code was approved. It updates the legislative framework on tort liability. This change is part of a bigger effort to modernize the Belgian Civil Code for the 21st century. It aims to codify existing rules and jurisprudence and adds innovation where deemed necessary.
The updates among others cover the co-existence of contractual and extra-contractual liabilities and the liability of auxiliary agents. Although Book 6 will enter into force on the 1st of January 2025, the new rules could as from then have an impact on already existing contracts.
This webinar will explore some of the changes, including:
- General introduction of Book 6
- Co-existence of contractual and extra-contractual liabilities
- Liability of auxiliary agents and its practical consequences
- Possible impact on director’s liability
- Impact on the employment relationship

Digital Product Passports and Digital Material Passports: What You Need to Know (Part 2)
Digital Product Passports are set to transform how products are sold across Europe. For consumers, this means unprecedented access to product information. Sustainability and compliance data, alongside other key product details, will become far easier to access and compare than ever before. As a “single source of truth” for products, DPPs may also enable EU authorities to identify non-compliance more quickly and efficiently, potentially restricting or preventing non-compliant products from entering the European market.
