The Malta IT Law Association (MITLA) is organising a free-to-attend webinar on the right to disconnect on March 23.
The right to disconnect is a proposed right regarding the ability of people to disconnect from work and primarily not to engage in work-related electronic communications such as e-mails, calls or messages during non-work hours.
The webinar will host a wide array of stakeholders, representatives and the public, in order to understand better the various positions prevalent in Malta with respect to this right.
Panelists will include Alex Agius Saliba, the MEP responsible for pushing the proposals relating to the right to disconnect at EU Level; Andre Xuereb, Ambassador for Digital Affairs; Charlotte Camilleri, executive in EU and legal affairs at the Malta Employers’ Association; and J.P. Fabri, economist and co-founding partner of Seed Consultancy.

Lord Hill – who served as EU commissioner for financial services until the Brexit vote – called for a range of deregulatory measures that would aim to “ensure the UK remains one of the most attractive places to grow and list successful, innovative companies”.
The report, which is believed to have been very well received by Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Prime Minister Boris Johnson, suggests opening up London to Spacs (Special acquisition companies), the so-called blank cheque firms that have become one of the most popular trends in finance.
Lord Hill also called for a swathe of deregulatory measures that would make London a more enticing destination for companies to go public, while also giving more power to start-up founders after listing on the London Stock Exchange.
