Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Internationalisation of Law: Legislating,
Book SynopsisThis insightful book explores the acute challenges presented by the `internationalisation' of law, a trend that has been accelerated by the growing requirement for academics and practitioners to work and research across countries and regions with differing legal traditions. The authors have all confronted these challenges of internationalisation through their extensive knowledge and experience in civil law, common law and mixed jurisdictions around the globe. Their analysis of the implications for researchers and teachers, as well as practitioners, law-makers and reformers is original and their different proposals for dealing with the challenges are both practical and at times, radical. This book is a must-read for those exposed to the internationalisation of law, be they academics, cross border practitioners, judges, arbitrators, or those engaged in legal reform and policy.Trade Review‘This stimulating volume of essays seamlessly integrates theoretical and practical perspectives to wrestle with fundamental issues of law and legal education in the 21st century. Using an integrated framework, the editors demonstrate that the challenges raised by internationalization can no longer be left to a small group of comparative and international lawyers, but rather require fundamental engagement from everyone in the law. Highly recommended.’ -- Tom Ginsburg, University of Chicago Law School, US‘This is a rich and fascinating collection of essays on the internationalisation of law. It offers an important exploration of what lies ahead in making law, resolving disputes and researching and teaching law in an increasingly globalising world. Academics and practitioners all over the world will find this book immensely useful.’ -- Jan M. Smits, Maastricht University, The Netherlands‘This fascinating collection of essays marks the 20th anniversary of Bond Law School in Australia. The essays deal with the internationalisation of law in all its dimensions, whether it be in law teaching, legal research, legislation or attitudes to risk and regulation which is particularly pertinent in view of the global financial crisis. The breadth of coverage of the book increases its appeal to scholars and policy makers from a range of sub-disciplinary perspectives. It deserves to be read widely and is an extremely valuable addition to any practitioner or academic library.’ -- Gerard McCormack, University of Leeds, UKTable of ContentsContents: Foreword John O.

Purich Publishing Postcolonial Sovereignty?: The Nisga’a Final
Book SynopsisIn 1999 the Nisga’a First Nation in northwestern British Columbia signed a landmark agreement which not only settled their land claim but outlined significant powers that could be exercised by its government. The Nisga’a Final Agreement granted powers over land, resources, education, and cultural policy to the Nisga’a government, a major departure from previous land claims agreements. However, it was not without opposition and Scott also outlines the opposition, including two court challenges, mounted against the agreement. This book concisely examines the major terms of the agreement then deeply analyzes the impact the agreement has on federal/provincial/First Nations relations.Table of ContentsIntroductionHow far have we come?How far we have to go1: Postcolonial Sovereignty?A Very Canadian LiberalismPostcolonial sovereignty?2: LandLand and Sovereignty in the Nass: the Historical ContextLand Provisions in the NFA3: RightsForest ResourcesFisheriesWildlife and Migratory BirdsMines and Minerals4: PowerThe Nisga’a Nation, Sovereignty, Self-Determination, and Self-GovernmentNisga’a Lisims Government: Structure and ConstitutionSocial Jurisdiction of the NLG5: The CourtsThe Campbell CaseThe Chief Mountain Case6: Conclusion: Postcolonial Sovereignty?The Limits of Liberalism?Postcolonial Sovereignty?Notes; Glossary; Bibliography

Springer International Publishing AG Gain-based Remedies for Breach of Contract: A
Book SynopsisThis book focuses on an emerging problem in English contract law: what should be done when a party has been unjustly enriched as the result of a breach of contract but there is no measurable loss suffered by said party? Two rulings are at the heart of the book: Wrotham Park Estate v Parkside Homes and Attorney-General v Blake. These two cases can be said to have established gain-based remedies in English contract law. However, the principles that underpin these remedies are not entirely clear and are subject to debate.This book analyses these principles through the lens of compensatory and restitutionary approaches. Moreover, it applies a comparative analysis of these approaches through the lens of the civil law jurisdiction in Poland.Since the term ‘compensation’ is not a universal concept, the book distinguishes between two rationales in the compensatory analysis. The first, reparative compensation, is defined as a form of monetary recompense for loss or damage actually suffered. The second, substitutive compensation, represents a monetary equivalent to a right that a person has been deprived of or denied. Both rationales require the application of a broad notion of loss in order to make gain-based remedies workable in both English and Polish law.In contrast, ‘restitution’ states that a person cannot be permitted to profit from their own wrongdoing. Based on this principle, the book argues that gain-based remedies could be applied under Polish law through the rules of unjust enrichment. However, in order to do so, a broader understanding of the subtraction prerequisite (the enrichment being at the aggrieved party’s expense) would have to be adopted. The book concludes that unjust enrichment is a more natural way of implementing gain-based remedies in civil law jurisdictions.Table of Contents1. Introduction and Methodology.- 2.

Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Emerging Trends in Asset Recovery
Book SynopsisStreet protests in the ‘Arab Spring’ countries have illustrated that public demand for recovering stolen assets has grown exponentially, as have expectations by concerned populations and governments. From a topic discussed in expert forums, it has thus become a topic of the people. The question is: Have practitioners and policy makers delivered on these expectations? Clearly, since the ratification of the UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) ten years ago, much progress has been made in streamlining respective legal and institutional frameworks. On the other hand, we also find that practical successes on the ground remain few and far apart, and largely limited to a handful of countries. This book asks why and, through the voice of renowned practitioners from a broad range of affected countries, analyses challenges that remain, identifies new stumbling blocks that have cropped up, and discusses practical solutions that are being tested with a view to overcoming these. The book is published by the Basel Institute on Governance’s International Centre for Asset Recovery (ICAR).Table of ContentsContents: Arnold Hottinger: Two years later: The Arab revolutions in transition – A.

Verlag Peter Lang Recovering Stolen Assets: With a preface by Eva
Book SynopsisDevelopment efforts will remain frustrated so long as corrupt leaders continue to steal their countries’ wealth and dispose of these ill-gotten gains in foreign jurisdictions. The prevention of such looting, and the recovery of the stolen assets are thus critical development issues and a cornerstone of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (2003) (UNCAC). However, to date experience with asset recovery is limited, and a number of legal and other obstacles continue to impede progress. This is the first comprehensive work on asset recovery, written by renowned practitioners and academics representing different legal systems and countries, all of whom have extensive experience in the asset recovery field. The authors notably discuss the ‘success stories’ of the past (the recovery of the assets of Sani Abacha, Ferdinand Marcos and Vladimiro Montesinos) and the concrete challenges for the future with regard to search, seizure, confiscation and repatriation of stolen assets. The book also provides perspectives on the role of technical assistance and donors in asset recovery and the likely impact of the UNCAC.Table of ContentsContents: Eva Joly: Preface: Repatriation of Assets - Préface : Rapatriement d’Actifs – Mark Pieth: Recovering Stolen Assets - A New Issue – Bernard Bertossa: What Makes Asset Recovery so Difficult in Practice?

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Culpa in Contrahendo: Transformationen des
Book SynopsisDie culpa in contrahendo gilt als die nachhaltigste aller juristischen Entdeckungen, und in dieser Konnotation steht sie für die juristische Kreativität und Leistungsfähigkeit der deutschen Zivilrechtswissenschaft schlechthin. Vor 150 Jahren von Rudolf v. Jhering ins juristische Dasein gerufen, haben ihre immer ausgedehnteren praktischen Anwendungsbereiche aus einer anfänglich bloßen begrifflichen Idee ein mittlerweile nicht mehr überschaubares Rechtsinstitut werden lassen. Dabei klafft seit jeher ein Graben zwischen der praktischen Anwendungsbreite einerseits und einer überzeugenden wissenschaftlichen Begründung andererseits. Eine sichere dogmatische Eingrenzung dieser sogenannten "dritten Haftungsspur" zwischen Vertrag und Delikt ist bisher nicht gelungen und darüber vermag auch der Umstand nicht hinwegzutäuschen, dass die "vorvertragliche Haftung" jedenfalls in Deutschland seit der Schuldrechtsreform 2002 Gesetzeskraft genießt. Wegen ihrer rechtstheoretischen Unfasslichkeit gilt die culpa in contrahendo manchen auch weniger als ein Zeugnis juristischer Wissenschaftlichkeit denn als "wandelnder Irrwisch" und Ausdruck einer diffusen Billigkeitsjurisprudenz.Der vorliegende erste Teil der auf zwei Bände angelegten Studie bemüht sich um eine grundlegende und ganzheitliche Bestandsaufnahme dieses wichtigen Haftungsinstituts. Der umfassende methodologische Ansatz, der rechtshistorische, -philosophische, -vergleichende, -ökonomische und rechtsdogmatische Perspektiven einbezieht, ermöglicht nicht nur, die prägenden geistigen Kräfte hinter der jeweils akzeptierten dogmatischen Haftungskonstruktion, sondern auch Transformationen und Kontinuitäten im Zivilrechtsdenken seit der Römischen Antike aufzuzeigen.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Zehn Jahre Schuldrechtsmodernisierung
Book SynopsisDie Schuldrechtsmodernisierung von 2002 hat das historische BGB von 1900 weitreichend verändert. Vor allem das System der Leistungsstörungen wurde nach Vorarbeiten der in den 80er Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts eingesetzten Schuldrechtskommission, aber auch aus Anlass der Umsetzung der Richtlinie 1999/44/EG zum Verbrauchsgüterkauf grundlegend reformiert. Mit dem Abstand einer Dekade wird die Reform, deren Berechtigung, Reichweite und konkrete Ausgestaltung seinerzeit Gegenstand zum Teil heftiger Debatten waren, im vorliegenden Tagungsband kritisch evaluiert. Zu Wort kommen Wissenschaft und richterliche wie anwaltliche Praxis, wobei keine "Nabelschau" der deutschen Zivilrechtsdogmatik erfolgt, sondern auch die internationale Perspektive sowie die zukünftige europäische Entwicklung und schließlich die Auswirkungen der Reform auf die Lehre in den Blick genommen werden. Mit Beiträgen von: Jean-Sébastien Borghetti, Barbara Dauner-Lieb, Hans-Christoph Girgoleit, Jan Dirk Harke, Carsten Herresthal, Akira Kamo, Eduard Picker, Jürgen Schmidt-Räntsch, Dirk Looschelders, Friedrich Graf von Westphalen

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Vater, Vater, Mutter, Kind - Ein Plädoyer für die
Book SynopsisKinder haben nicht selten zwei Vaterfiguren: Einen rechtlichen und sozialen Vater einerseits und einen leiblichen, aber nicht rechtlichen Vater andererseits. Der Gesetzgeber hat im Anschluss an zwei Entscheidungen des EGMR dem leiblichen, nicht rechtlichen Vater ein Umgangs- und Auskunftsrecht eingeräumt (§ 1686a BGB). Diese Regelung ist jedoch inhaltlich unausgewogen und verfassungsrechtlich zumindest bedenklich, denn sie macht den leiblichen Vater gleichsam zu einem halben rechtlichen Vater, der nur Rechte, aber keine Pflichten hat. Ina Plettenberg plädiert deshalb für die Etablierung einer zweiten rechtlich vollwertigen Vaterschaft des leiblichen Vaters neben dem rechtlichen und sozialen Vater des Kindes. Erforderlich ist dabei stets, dass dies im Einzelfall mit dem Kindeswohl vereinbar ist. Eine solche doppelte rechtliche Vaterschaft ist von den verfassungsrechtlichen Vorgaben gedeckt und fügt sich einfachrechtlich komplikationslos in das geltende Familien- und Erbrecht ein, wie ein detaillierter Gesetzgebungsvorschlag der Verfasserin zeigt.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Realization of Substantive Law through Legal
Book SynopsisThis volume contains contributions to a symposium that was held according to a tradition of amicable relationship between the law schools of the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg and Nagoya University on September 30 - October 1, 2015 in Nagoya on the topic "Realization of Substantive Law through Legal Proceedings". In a time where the value of law enforcement through courts is incrementally questioned and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms are globally promoted the question of the purpose of civil procedure and the relationship between substantive law and its realization through legal proceedings is of particular relevance. The topic thereby not only concerns traditional civil and civil procedural law, but also labor, patent and private international law. The volume reflects the topic's relevance from a comparative perspective since similar tendencies and questions currently arise in Japan and Germany.

Springer International Publishing AG Damages in EU Public Procurement Law
Book SynopsisThe book surveys the enforcement of EU law through the lens of damages claims for violations of EU public procurement rules. The first part clarifies the requirements on damages claims under both public procurement and general EU law, notably the public procurement remedies directives and doctrines such as procedural autonomy, effective judicial protection and Member State liability. The second part focuses on comparative law, covering England, France, Germany and the Netherlands, and provides an overview of national regulation and case law of damages litigation in the area of public procurement. A third part discusses the constitutive and quantification criteria of the damages remedy from a comparative and EU law perspective. It explores the lost chance, which functionally emerges as a compromise capable of mitigating the typically problematic nature of causation and uncertainty in public procurement constellations. The book concludes with a proposal for legislative intervention regarding damages in public procurement.Trade Review“The reader is … provided with a well-structured overview and profound analysis of the topic of damage compensation in public procurement settings. This broad perspective is the biggest strength of the book … . Schebesta makes a sounds [sic] analysis of how the different jurisdictions incorporate this theory and indicates that the French approach by which different qualities of chances (none/serious/very serious) are fixed to categories of claimable losses (none/bid costs/lost profit) seems to work effectively.” (Sarah Schoenmaekers, Common Market Law Review, Vol. 53 (4), 2016)Table of Contents1 Introduction.- Part I.- 2 The EU Public Procurement Policy Field.- 3 The CJEU’s Approach to Damages under General EU Law.- 4 Sources of EU Procurement Law and Damages.- Part II.- 5 Case Study: The Netherlands.- 6 Case Study: The United Kingdom.- 7 Case Study: Germany.- 8 Case Study: France.- Part III.- 9 Issue Based Analysis of Public Procurement Damages.- 10 Quantification of Claimable Losses.- 11 The Iridescence of the Lost Chance Doctrine in Damages Claims.- Part IV.- 12 Conclusions.

Springer International Publishing AG Contents and Effects of Contracts-Lessons to Learn From The Common European Sales Law
Book SynopsisThis book presents a critical analysis of the rules on the contents and effects of contracts included in the proposal for a Common European Sales Law (CESL). The European Commission published this proposal in October 2011 and then withdrew it in December 2014, notwithstanding the support the proposal had received from the European Parliament in February 2014. On 6 May 2015, in its Communication ‘A Digital Single Market Strategy for Europe’, the Commission expressed its intention to “make an amended legislative proposal (…) further harmonising the main rights and obligations of the parties to a sales contract”. The critical comments and suggestions contained in this book, to be understood as lessons to learn from the CESL, intend to help not only the Commission but also other national and supranational actors, both public and private (including courts, lawyers, stakeholders, contract parties, academics and students) in dealing with present and future European and national instruments in the field of contract law. The book is structured into two parts. The first part contains five essays exploring the origin, the ambitions and the possible future role of the CESL and its rules on the contents and effects of contracts. The second part contains specific comments to each of the model rules on the contents and effects of contracts laid down in Chapter 7 CESL (Art. 66-78). Together, the essays and comments in this volume contribute to answering the question of whether and to what extent rules such as those laid down in Art. 66-78 CESL could improve or worsen the position of consumers and businesses in comparison to the correspondent provisions of national contract law. The volume adopts a comparative perspective focusing mainly, but not exclusively, on German and Dutch law.Table of ContentsPART ONE – Lessons to Learn from the CESL.- I.
