Prof. dr. Dave De ruysscher co-authored an article in the most recent issue of the Tijdschrift voor Rechtsgeschiedenis/Revue d'histoire du droit/The Legal History Review.

Abstract:
This article zooms in on the legal activities of the Société Centrale d’Architecture en Belgique in the Belle Époque and Interbellum, analyzing the ways in which professional interest groups without a legal background could impact processes of law-making. scab developed publications for professionals and invested in strategic networking and in-house legal expertise. As a result, it not only became an important centre of information on construction legislation, but also effectively shaped areas of construction law, such as those concerning the arbitration of building conflicts, the architect’s fee, and the legal recognition of the title of architect.
