INTERNATIONAL LEGAL CONFERENCE ON THE EXPANSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES The British Institute of International and Comparative Law propose to sponsor and organise in Dublin an international legal conference on the Expansion of the European Communities on October 1, 2, 3 and 4, 1970. The conference would be concerned with the examination in depth of a number of legal problems of especial interest to the applicant countries. The participants, mainly lawyers, would be drawn substantially from Scandinavia, the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland but there would be a number of representatives from the Six Common Market Countries and from the institutions of the Com munities. The Institute has sponsored a number of International conferences in recent years, and has been actively engaged in the, study of the law of the European Communities for over a decade. The publications resulting from such meetings have been foremost in furthering an understanding of Community law amongst practising lawyers and those in government, industry and the universities in each country. A major conference on the principal legal problems confronting the candidate countries for admission to the Communities will be timely in the early autumn of 1970 and the choice of Dublin as a venue would be regarded as most appropriate by lawyers in the candidate, countries and those within the Communities. The working sessions of the conference are to be divided up to consider in depth the following themes: 1. The Courts and Community Law. The impact of Community Law upon Municipal Courts and their resources for dealing with it. 2. Community Legislation. Community decision-making, its parliamen- 94

In 1969, The Irish Congress of Trade Unions had passed a resolution to the effect that injunctions should not be granted on the basis of affidavits alone. It was inevitable, particularly in cases of strikes of short duration, that the strike concerned might be unofficial in the first instance, as the ordinary members of the union might not agree with the executive.
