right of establishment.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Despite this role in guarding the rights under the CCJ, the President also acknowledged the importance of national courts in developing regional law, asserting that \u2018there is a unique and critical role to be played by national courts and tribunals in shaping Community law.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Indeed, through the referral process, national courts work with and alongside the CCJ with a view to ensuring that the full potential of the CSME is realised and treaty rights and obligations are respected and observed.<\/p>\n<p

attorney-client confidentiality in the age of money \u2013laundering.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">By incorporating group simulation exercises and discussing various scenarios, participants were able to determine how they would treat with matters concerning the application and interpretation of the RTC were raised.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">It is anticipated that the next workshop in this engagement
