Pieter verLoren van Themaat (16 March 1916 – 4 July 2004) was a Dutch law professor and civil service worker. He was professor of socio-economic law at Utrecht University between 1967 and 1981. verLoren van Themaat was Advocate-General of the European Court of Justice between 1981 and 1986.
Early life
VerLoren was born in Rotterdam on 16 March 1916.
Career
In 1958 VerLoren moved to Brussels to work for the then recently founded European Economic Community. He was made Director General of the department of competition. Together with European Commissioner Hans von der Groeben he worked on Council Regulation 17/62, which served for forty years as an important foundation of the procedural aspects of European Union competition law.[1] In 1967 he returned to the Netherlands and was appointed professor of socio-economic law at Utrecht University, the first professor in this subject area in the Netherlands.[2] In 1981 he reached the age of retirement.[3] In 1982, he was presented with a Liber Amicorum.[4]
As a result of the accession of Greece to the European Communities in 1981 an expansion in the number of Advocates-General at the European Court of Justice from four to five took place. This new position would rotate among the smaller Member States and it was agreed that it would be first handed to the Netherlands.[1] Although having retired, the Dutch cabinet saw VerLoren as an excellent candidate and he duly became an Advocate-General at the European Court of Justice on 4 June 1981.[1] He served until 13 January 1986.[1][5]
In 1974 VerLoren was elected a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.[6]
Personal life
In 1942 he married Marijke Losecaat Vermeer, to whom he was married for over sixty years.[1]
He died on 4 July 2004 in Utrecht.[1]
