Dr Michael Zammit Maempel carried out the local training component, whilst Prof Justin Borg-Barthet and Dr Erin Ferguson expanded on the European perspective. A panel discussion shared their knowledge on the emerging legislation and trends for defending against strategic litigation against public participation.
