Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The EU and the WTO: Legal and Constitutional Issues
Book SynopsisThe essays in this volume attempt to explore and elucidate some of the legal and constitutional complexities of the relationship between the EU and the WTO, focusing particularly on the impact of the latter and its relevance for the former. The effect of WTO norms is evident across a broad range of European economic and social policy fields, affecting regulatory and distributive policies alike. A number of significant areas have been selected in this book to exemplify the scope and intensity of impact, including EC single market law, external trade, structural and cohesion funding, cultural policy, social policy, and aspects of public health and environmental policy. Certain chapters seek to examine the legal and political points of intersection between the two legal orders, and many of the essays explore in different ways the normative dimension of the relationship between the EU and the WTO and the legitimacy claims of the latter.Trade Review…the various chapters provide a useful and well-informed account of the evolution of EU-WTO relations, even for those who find constitutionalisation a distant horizon. -- Joanna Gomula, University of London * Europarttslig Tidskrift *All in all, this is a very important book on a very important issue for international lawyers; for academics with a special interest in international economic law (or, more modestly, in WTO law) it is essential reading. -- Peter Hilpold, University of Innsbruck * European Journal of International Law *Table of Contents1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Choice of Law Contract
Book SynopsisThis book offers a contractual framework for the regulation of party autonomy in choice of law. The party autonomy rule is the cornerstone of any modern system of choice of law; embodying as it does the freedom enjoyed by parties to a cross-border legal relationship to agree on the law applicable to it. However, as this study shows, the rule has a major shortcoming because it fails to give due regard to the contractual function of the choice of law agreement. The study examines the existing law on choice of law agreements, by reference to the law of both common and civil law jurisdictions and international instruments. Moreover, it suggests a new coherent approach to party autonomy that integrates both the law of contract and choice of law. This important new study should be read with interest by private international law scholars.Trade ReviewThe range, depth and originality of the analysis of complex and intricate aspects of party autonomy in applicable law make this a must read for anyone engaged in research in this field. -- Paul Beaumont, University of Aberdeen and Jonathan Harris, King’s College, LondonThe book, that is comparative throughout, thus offers a lot to both European private law and PIL experts. -- Jan M Smits * Maastricht European Private Law Institute Blog *Table of Contents1. Introduction 2. Selection of the Applicable Law by Contract 3. The Scope of Party Autonomy 4. Independence of the Choice of Law Contract 5. Regulating the Choice of Law Contract 6.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG German Corporate Governance in International and
Book SynopsisCorporate governance encompasses the free enterprise system, which is treated comprehensively in this book from a German perspective. This distinguishes the book from other books written in English in this subject area, not only because of the comprehensive way it covers German corporate law and corporate governance, but also because of the fact that it provides international and European perspectives on these important topics. This second edition is an extensively revised and updated version of the first edition, in particular with a view to the worldwide debt crisis. The authors provide readers with an overview of the unique features of German business and enterprise law and an in-depth analysis of the organs of governance of German public limited companies (general meeting, management board, supervisory board). In addition, approaches for reforms required at the international level are also suggested and discussed, including, among others, the unique interplay and dynamics of the German two-tier board model with the system of codetermination, referring to the arrangement of employees sitting on the supervisory boards of German public limited companies and private companies employing more than 500 employees; also covered are significant recent legal developments in Europe. The book highlights the core function of valuation and financial reporting at the international, European and German levels, with accounting as the documentary proof of good corporate governance. It also expands the scope of the first edition by a treatment of the German financial sector, global corporate finance and governance, and by including a new chapter on compliance of corporate governance laws, rules and standards in Germany. As far as comparative law is concerned, new developments in the area of corporate governance in the EU, the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance and corporate governance in the US, the UK and Australia are covered.The book is addressed to researchers, practitioners and basically anyone with an interest in the complex, but intriguing areas of corporate law and corporate governance.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews of the second edition:“The targeted audience is twofold: firstly, the book targets managers and directors of companies as well as investors who want to comprehend the German model of corporate governance and its institutional setting … . Secondly, the book targets non-German postgraduate students, academic scholars, and others who, for language reasons, cannot read the vast amount of German literature on the topic … . It provides great insight on German business law literature for non-English readers as well as important decisions of German and European courts.” (Axel Haller, The International Journal of Accounting, September, 2013)Table of ContentsAn Overview of German Business or Enterprise Law and the One-Tier and Two-Tier Board Systems Contrasted.- An Overview of the Corporate Governance Debate in Germany.- The General Meeting and the Management Board as Company Organs.- The Supervisory Board as Company Organ.- The German System of Supervisory Codetermination by Employees.- The Impact of European Development on German Codetermination and German Corporate Law.- Accounting as the Documentary Proof of Good Corporate Governance.- Banking on Trust: The German Financial Sector, Global Capital Markets and Corporate Finance and Governance.- Corporate Governance and Corporate Compliance.- Corporate Governance in the EU, the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance in Selected Other Jurisdictions.- European and German Provisions in English for Purposes of Chapter 7.

Kluwer Law International Honnold’s Uniform Law for International Sales under the 1980 United Nations Convention
Book SynopsisThe United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) has become the key framework for drafting international sales contracts and resolving resulting disputes. The remarkable progress of this epoch-making uniform international law calls for a new edition (the fifth) of the late Professor Honnold’s preeminent commentary, now issued under the authoritative hand of Harry M. Flechtner, editor of the fourth edition and a National Correspondent for the United States at UNCITRAL. Professor Flechtner updates Professor Honnold’s in-depth article-by-article exposition, addressing newly arising issues and taking into account the numerous decisions and scholarly analyses that have focused on the CISG in the twelve years since the last edition in 2009. Also expertly updated is Professor Honnold’s masterly overview of the development and implementation of the text of the CISG, as well as his authoritative insights into the underlying principles and purposes of the treaty. Taking into account the myriad variations among distinct legal systems, the commentary expertly treats all crucial aspects of sales contracts, including the following: delivery of the goods and handing over of documents; conformity of the goods and third-party claims; obligations of the parties; payment of the price; taking delivery; anticipatory breach; instalment contracts; remedies for breach of contract; damages; interest; exemptions; limits and effects of avoidance; preservation of the goods; and risk of loss. The CISG is widely regarded as the most significant body of international sales law and the most successful international commercial treaty in history. This new edition provides tribunals, practitioners, and scholars invaluable up-to-date insights into the meaning of each article of the Convention. The multitude of authorities consulted, many dating from the past few years, will continue to influence the promotion of international sales contract uniformity, encourage the settlement of disputes, and help to reinforce consensus in the application of the Convention.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Law of Insurance Warranties Flawed Reform and
Book SynopsisThe book provides a detailed review of efforts to reform the law on insurance warranties in Australia, New Zealand and the UK, arguing that none of these have been successful. The text proposes a radical new approach to reform of this area of the law, demonstrating through detailed stress testing of these proposals that they would deliver more consistent and equitable outcomes than those achieved to date.Reform of the historically inequitable law of insurance warranties in commercial insurance has been introduced in Australia, New Zealand and, most recently, the UK. This book demonstrates that all these reforms have flaws and that none of them can be relied upon to deliver consistently equitable and predictable outcomes; in particular the UK's, as yet largely untested, Insurance Act 2015 is shown to have serious flaws that have not previously been identified. Building on lessons from these three jurisdictions, the book sets out an alternative approach for dealing with Table of Contents1. Introduction Section One: History, Issues and Challenges 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd International Investment Dispute Awards
Book SynopsisThis book examines how international investment arbitral awards can be facilitated. It sets out to achieve a fuller conceptualisation and theorisation of awards through a discussion of relevant issues and themes, as well as demonstrating how they can be achieved through a comparative approach that has been conceived and developed with reference to existing deficiencies in the research literature. This contribution is particularly important given the worldwide emergence of investment arbitration as a powerful form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). The book ultimately seeks to explore and develop solutions that can be directed to an existing oversight and deficit within the international investment architecture. In considering the advantages and disadvantages of each âsolutionâ, it will work towards an approach best-suited to upholding the interest of the victorious party at the enforcement stage.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Contractual Estoppel
Book SynopsisThe second edition of this book continues to offer the first and only comprehensive account of contractual estoppel, now made fully up to date with reference to the most recent cases. Contractual estoppel, a new and exciting development in the common law, is ever more widely employed and keeps showing itself of considerable practical utility. The book examines numerous judicial decisions which apply or discuss contractual estoppel, and offers a full and systematic exploration of its origin, principled basis, practical applications and limits. The doctrine continues to develop and the second edition tracks, catalogues, discusses and explains its multifarious applications, limits and niceties.In this title, the author, Alexander Trukhtanov, maintains the principal doctrinal claim of the first edition that contractual estoppel is a not misnomer, anomaly or distortion of reliance-based categories of estoppel, but its own category of legal estoppel. The book is a single point of rTable of Contents1 Introductory Observations 2 Contractual Estoppel: General Principle 3 Applications 4 Entire Agreement and Non-reliance Clauses 5 Limits 6 Limits: Controls over Exclusion Clauses 7 Contractual Estoppel in the Family of Estoppels

Book SynopsisThis book covers wreck law as an integrated whole, going beyond the question of removal to include issues such as the ownership of wreck and how the law deals with the many commercial law problems arising after ships have been wrecked during the maritime commercial adventure.
