Talk with Professor Mark Davidson - Plain Packaging: Where is it at and what are the implications for other products?
The appeal against Australia’s plain packaging laws in the WTO is still in progress but many aspects of the Panel decision have not been the subject of appeal. In light of the Panel decision, the nature of the appeal and other, now finalised litigation concerning plain packaging for tobacco, a number of important aspects of the law relating to packaging regulation of any product can already be identified. This seminar will provide some insight into the current status of the long running litigation concerning plain packaging and commentary on the possible implications of WTO law and international investment law for both tobacco and other goods and services.
Time: 5-7PM, Thursday, September 26th, 2019.
