Dear readers,
We are pleased to share with you this first issue of the year of our Newsletter, devoted mainly to two major legislative reforms that marked the last months of 2023 and the beginning of 2024.
At the community level, this involves the adoption of the new Uniform Act Organizing Simplified Collection Procedures and Enforcement Measures, published in the OHADA Official Journal on November 15, 2023, and came into force on February 16, 2024.
At the national level, 2023 was marked by adopting the law abolishing the Court for the Repression of Illicit Enrichment (CREI) and replacing it with the Judicial and Financial Pool (PFJ) to improve the fight against economic and financial crime.
Our editors, whose litigation practice is influenced by these reforms, will introduce you to the Financial Judicial Pool through two articles and offer you the first in a series dedicated to the new Uniform Act Organizing Simplified Collection Procedures and Enforcement Measures.
To round off this issue, we have included our traditional introduction to the past year’s primary legislative and regulatory texts.
We hope you enjoy reading this latest issue of our newsletter and that you find the topics covered applicable
