(f) give other directions or order acts of process, where appropriate. Article 4.2 applies mutatis mutandis to an amendment of a counterclaim. (e) any agreements made with respect to the mode of procedure and cost. In 2003, Stolker gave the Dies lecture in Leiden on law as an academic discipline.

The categorical exclusion of (groups of) companies is, in my opinion, undesirable. Of course, it is a fact that the obligations and tasks imposed on banks by the Wwft have a cost-increasing effect. This may also have played a role in Rabobank’s creating this policy. According to Rabobank, cash is also widely used in the automotive sector and this makes businesses vulnerable. Fraudulent transactions certainly take place in the automotive sector, and apparently to such an extent that Rabobank considers the risk of money laundering and other criminal activities too great. But one can wonder whether this objection (extensive use of cash) applies to all car businesses, or at least all car businesses with an annual turnover of less than €50 million.

Various lawyers recently reported in the FD that, as far as they were concerned, banks were in danger of going overboard with their money-laundering approach. For instance, sometimes they part company with clients too quickly, or the bank has not done its homework properly. According to the District Court of Amsterdam, this was indeed the case with Rabobank and Van Lanschot. Although Rabobank, as a banking company, fulfils a socio-economic function, it is not a state-owned company or a government institution. In principle, it is up to Rabobank to make its own policy and decide whether or not to enter into or continue a business relationship with a client and, if so, under what conditions. This also means that a bank may decide to become involved in certain sectors or not, or to focus specifically on certain clients.

Of course, these objections do not apply to just one coffee shop or to a small part of the sector, but to the entire sector. Therefore, it is quite understandable that under the policy of many banks all coffee shops were in fact lumped together. Stolker’s inaugural lecture was about the emergence of a claims culture in the Netherlands and across Europe. He has also contributed articles on a wide range of topics relating to private law and philosophy – including wrongful birth and wrongful life – to national and international journals.

In collaboration with Anneleen Broekhuijsen, he wrote the book ‘Medicines and Liability’ (Kluwer, 1986). Published in 1989, ‘Van arts naar advocaat’, meaning ‘From doctor to lawyer’ (Boom, Scheltema & Holkema/Kluwer) discussed the legal and social causes of the American claims culture and how Europe could learn from it. Full text of “Dutch Language” may direct that a record be drawn up of the hearing. Stolker has edited various interdisciplinary collections, including ‘Ramp en Recht. Beschouwingen over rampen, verantwoordelijkheid en aansprakelijkheid’, meaning ‘Disaster and Law.
