Festive reception at the University of Liechtenstein to mark the occasion of the anniversary
Last year, the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB) celebrated its 200th anniversary. As Liechtenstein implemented most of the ABGB’s content one year after Austria, on 18 February 1812, the principality celebrates this anniversary in 2012. In the scope of this festive event, the speakers are dedicating their presentations to the origins and developments of the ABGB in Liechtenstein, with particular focus on current developments in inheritance law. The event will be held on Wednesday, 28 March 2012, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., in the University of Liechtenstein’s auditorium. Entry is free; registration at www.uni.li is required.
