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

The federal government has identified purported ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’ in small business programs as a major focus of its current enforcement efforts. As it relates to federal procurement, we have seen audits and investigations rolled out not only of active participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program but also reviews of various types of small business contracts (such as 8(a) sole source and set-aside awards, preference-based awards, and small business set-aside awards over particular values). Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors.
