For quicker justice, Dutch can go online for litigation
Amsterdam - Dutch nationals seeking quick and affordable conflict resolution and avoid years of expensive litigation can now take their grievances online - in a virtual court. A so-called e-Court, effectively a private foundation, claims to resolve civil law conflicts within 8 to a maximum 12 weeks, at low cost, during an on-line procedure.

Public meeting to discuss Consumer Protection ODR
"A public meeting of the OAS CIDIP Study Group is taking place at the FTC (Room H-481) tomorrow Friday January 15 at 10:00 AM EST. If you are unable to attend in person, teleconferencing will be available (call in numbers 866-707-6355 (or for international 1-517-308-4300) with the passcode 3553774). We intend to continue our discussion of issues relating to choice of law, applicable law, jurisdiction, enforcement of judgments, and dispute resolution that may be considered in the Organization of American States CIDIP process.
We also intend to discuss the two changes we are considering to the U.S. proposal: (1) adding a model law providing alternate dispute resolution for consumer credit and debit card claims; and (2) developing a model implementation online mediation/arbitration arrangement for cross border consumer disputes."
This should be a fascinating discussion, and I encourage everyone interested in consumer protection ODR to attend.

OECD conference on consumer protection this week
The OECD is meeting in Washington, DC from 8-10 December to convene the conference, "Empowering E-Consumers: Strengthening Consumer Protection in the Internet Economy"
There are quite a few options for remote participation-- you can ask a question (either textually or on video) via Google Moderator, or follow the Twitter at hashtag #ecom.
From the event description:
"E-commerce has evolved dramatically since 1999, when the OECD issued its first Guidelines for Consumer Protection in the Context of Electronic Commerce. Government, business, civil society, international organisations and academics will explore how effective the guidelines are and what new opportunities, obstacles and risks consumers face in today’s online world."
