Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Hague Judgments Convention and Commonwealth
Book SynopsisThis book undertakes a systematic analysis of the 2019 Hague Judgments Convention, the 2005 Hague Choice of Court Convention 2005, and the 2017 Commonwealth Model Law on recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments from a pragmatic perspective. The book builds on the concept of pragmatism in private international law within the context of recognition and enforcement of judgments. It demonstrates the practical application of legal pragmatism by setting up a toolbox (pragmatic goals and methods) that will assist courts and policymakers in developing an effective and efficient judgments’ enforcement scheme at national, bilateral and multilateral levels. Practitioners, national courts, policymakers, academics, students and litigants will benefit from the book’s comparative approach using case law from the United Kingdom and other leading Commonwealth States, the United States, and the Court of Justice of the European Union. The book also provides interesting findings from the empirical research on the refusal of recognition and enforcement in the UK and the Commonwealth statutory registration schemes respectively.Table of Contents1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Treatment of Foreign Law in Asia
Book SynopsisHow do Asian courts ascertain, interpret, and apply a foreign law as the law governing the merits of the case? What should judges do if parties do not raise or disagree on the content of foreign law? This thematic volume in the Studies in Private International Law – Asia series analyses the treatment of foreign law before judicial authorities, that is, how the courts of Asian states deal with the proof of foreign law in court litigation involving cross-border elements. The individual chapters cover 15 Asian jurisdictions: Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and India. The Introduction and Conclusion examine similarities and differences in the approaches taken by the 15 Asian states with a view to assessing the extent to which those approaches are consistent or different from each other. The book also puts forward suggestions for harmonising differing approaches, especially between Asian common law and civil law states. The book is a one-stop reference guide on the treatment of foreign law in Asia and will be indispensable to judges, practitioners, and scholars not just in Asia, but worldwide.Table of Contents1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Jurisdiction and Judgments in Relation to EU
Book SynopsisThis book sets out the way that, through enhanced private antitrust enforcement reform, private international law has a pivotal role in EU competition law disputes with an international element. The author offers a thorough analysis of the post-2003 policy of the EU favouring private law enforcement of EU competition law and its implementation under the existing provisions for jurisdiction and recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments under the Brussels I regime. The book also considers how the jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement of judgments issues are dealt with in England under the common law rules applicable when Brussels I does not apply. The complex private international law problems in respect of cross-border class actions that have arisen in several countries, as well as judgments in relation to antitrust infringements, are also discussed. The author further examines the choice of law issues that may arise before the English courts under Rome I and Rome II. The potential problems regarding jurisdiction of arbitral tribunals and choice of law in arbitral proceedings in relation to EU competition law claims, and the jurisdiction of English courts in proceedings ancillary to arbitration claims, are dealt with accordingly.Trade ReviewDanov draws upon an impressive range of academic, policy and practitioner sources. There is no other book-length treatment of the nexus between competition law and private international law, and practitioners, academics and advanced students from a number of different substantive fields should take something from it. Kathryn Wright European Law Review Volume 37 The book provides an excellent critical analysis of the important challenges to which judges, practitioners, and business decision-makers are confronted with regard to concurrent proceedings in EU competition law and the attempt to solve them through the application of private international law principles. Dr Danov's remarkable study offers a lot of food for thought and an excellent background reading for those interested in deepening the analysis further. Ioannis Lianos World Competition Law and Economics Review 34(3) Danov has succeeded in writing a book that is both intellectually thorough enough to be able to play a significant role in shaping future academic debate as well as sufficiently practical enough to provide a source of inspiration for policy makers.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Succession Upon Death: A Comparison of European
Book SynopsisThe European Succession Regulation, which harmonized private international and procedural law rules of Member States in the field of succession, has been examined by scholars in almost every detail. It has, however, not attracted the same degree of attention from a third state perspective. The aim of this book is to offer a comparative analysis of the Regulations's regime from a Turkish perspective. Turkey is indeed an important third state for cross-border succession cases for the EU, having a great number of nationals within the European Union and being one of the third countries which have bilateral treaties on succession with the Member States which are still applicable according to Article 75 of the Regulation. Biset Sena Güneş addresses the differences between the provisions of the Regulation, the Turkish PILA and the Turkish-German Treaty of 1929, the most practically relevant one of the treaties with third states, and indicates the interplay between the three legal texts.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Dezentrale autonome Organisationen (DAOs) und
Book SynopsisDezentrale autonome Organisationen (DAOs) versprechen, einen neuen Meilenstein für Organisationsstrukturen zu setzen, indem sie es Gruppen durch die Nutzung von Smart Contracts ermöglichen, bestimmte Aktionen und Verhaltensweisen automatisch zu steuern und zu koordinieren, um auf diese Weise effizienter und transparenter zu arbeiten. Insofern stellen DAOs zentrale Merkmale eines Unternehmens wie die hierarchische Organisationsstruktur, die Trennung von Firmenmitgliedern und Marktteilnehmern sowie viele andere Punkte radikal infrage. Biyan Mienert untersucht, ob sich diese neue rein digitale Organisation in rechtliche Grundstrukturen einfügt und mit vorhandenen Gesellschaftsformen in Einklang gebracht werden kann oder ob sie grundlegende Veränderungen dieser Strukturen erfordert. Aufgeworfene Thesen werden hierbei nicht nur in der Theorie beleuchtet, sondern durch die technische und rechtliche Analyse praktisch tätiger DAOs überprüft.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Intensivere Drittwirkung: Die mittelbare
Book SynopsisDigitale Diskursräume sind aus dem Alltag vieler nicht mehr wegzudenken. Diese Räume werden von Informationsintermediären organisiert und moderiert. Die Moderation nutzergenerierter Inhalte geht mit wichtigen, grundrechtssensiblen Entscheidungen einher. Insbesondere die Realisierung der Meinungsfreiheit steht dabei im Fokus. Aus verfassungsrechtlicher Perspektive stellt sich daher die zentrale Frage nach der Reichweite einer Grundrechtsbindung privater Akteure. Traditionellerweise wird auf die seit jeher kontrovers diskutierte Lehre der mittelbaren Drittwirkung von Grundrechten Bezug genommen. Amélie Heldt widmet sich den Rahmenbedingungen der Kommunikation in digitalen Öffentlichkeiten, untersucht aus verfassungsrechtlicher, rechtsvergleichender und interdisziplinärer Perspektive den Prozess der Inhaltemoderation und schlägt eine Feinjustierung der Lehre der mittelbaren Drittwirkung vor.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Schiffskollision, höhere Gewalt und autonome
Book SynopsisDie autonome Schifffahrt wirft zahlreiche juristische Fragen auf. Samuel Vuattoux-Bock setzt sich mit der Frage der Haftung infolge einer Schiffskollision unter Beteiligung von autonomen Schiffen aus einer deutsch-französisch rechtsvergleichenden Perspektive auseinander. Die bisherigen Lösungen sehen einen Haftungsausschluss im Falle höherer Gewalt vor (IÜZ, BinSchG, Code des transports). Der Autor erforscht die rechtliche Beziehung zwischen den Merkmalen der höheren Gewalt (Unvorhersehbarkeit, Unvermeidbarkeit, äußere Ursache) und der autonomen Schifffahrt. Mithilfe einer deutsch-französischen Analyse bietet er eine Anpassung der Auslegung der höheren Gewalt für die autonome Schifffahrt an. De lege ferenda schlägt er eine neue objektive Haftung infolge einer Schiffskollision vor und untersucht die Gestaltung der höheren Gewalt in dieser neuen Haftung. Die vorgeschlagene Haftung findet ihre Grundlage in den rechtshistorischen Wurzeln des Seehandelsrechts (z.B. der Hanse) und ist durch ihre deutsch-französisch geprägte Ausgestaltung für eine internationale Harmonisierung geeignet.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Transnationale Verträge im nationalen Recht:
Book SynopsisWeltweit vereinheitlichte Musterverträge bestimmen die Vertragsgestaltung im grenzüberschreitenden Finanzverkehr. Diese Musterverträge werden von privaten Organisationen wie der International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), der Loan Market Association (LMA) und der International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) geschaffen. Torsten Kindt zeigt, dass auf Grundlage der Muster ein bereichsspezifisches transnationales Vertragsrecht entsteht, das jedoch auf vielfältige Weise mit dem staatlichen Recht verwoben bleibt. Er entwickelt Leitlinien für einen responsiven Umgang mit musterbasierten transnationalen Verträgen im staatlichen Kollisions-, Vertrags- und Internationalen Zivilverfahrensrecht, die auch über den Finanzbereich hinaus zu einem produktiven Zusammenwirken privater und staatlicher Ordnung beitragen können.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Der räumliche Anwendungsbereich der
Book SynopsisDas Rechtsanwendungsrecht ist seit jeher eine Domäne des Internationalen Privatrechts. Die öffentlich-rechtliche Dimension hat in Forschung und Rechtsprechung bislang kaum Beachtung gefunden. Bisweilen wird dem Internationalen Öffentlichen Recht sogar die Existenzberechtigung abgesprochen mit der Begründung, deutsche Behörden würden per se deutsches Recht anwenden. Das ist jedoch zu kurz gegriffen. Tim Kerstges entwickelt für das anwaltliche Berufsrecht ein Modell, das ausgehend von den verfassungsrechtlichen und unionsrechtlichen Determinationen, greifbare Kriterien für die Bestimmung des räumlichen Anwendungsbereiches von Normen in ihren öffentlich-rechtlichen Dimensionen anbietet. In seiner Grundkonzeption ist dieses Modell nicht nur auf das anwaltliche Berufsrecht anwendbar, sondern lässt sich auf andere Bereiche des Internationalen Öffentlichen Rechts übertragen.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Trennbankenstrukturreformen nach der Finanzkrise
Book SynopsisIn Reaktion auf die globale Finanzkrise der Jahre 2007-2009 wurden in einer Reihe von Rechtsordnungen Bankenstrukturreformen eingeleitet und zum Teil umgesetzt. Diese gesetzgeberischen Bestrebungen zählen zu den wohl umstrittensten und im Hinblick auf die Intensität des Eingriffs in etablierte betriebswirtschaftliche Geschäftsmodelle und die Organisationsverfassung von Banken und Bankengruppen ambitioniertesten Reformvorhaben. In unterschiedlicher Weise und Intensität wird eine systemische Trennung zwischen besonders schutzbedürftigen "systemrelevanten" Geschäftsaktivitäten und solchen, die im Insolvenzfall ohne Ansteckungsrisiken für die Systemstabilität abgewickelt werden sollen, erzwungen. Christiane Hellstern untersucht die Anwendungsprobleme, Reformansätze und die mit der Umsetzung einhergehenden Folgefragen für bestehende Bankenstrukturen, die durch pfadabhängige Organisationsmodelle, das jeweilige Marktumfeld sowie durch die jeweils anwendbaren Gesellschafts-, Aufsichts- und Insolvenzrechte unterschiedlich gewachsen sind.Die Arbeit wurde mit dem Promotionspreis der Reinhold-und-Maria-Teufel-Stiftung 2021 ausgezeichnet.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Geschlechtliche Selbstbestimmung im
Book SynopsisDie Zuordnung zu einem Geschlecht hat für die individuelle Identität eines Menschen herausragende Bedeutung. Gleichzeitig wird diese Frage von den Rechtsordnungen der Europäischen Union nach wie vor sehr unterschiedlich beantwortet. Während immer mehr Staaten dazu übergehen, einer Person eine selbstbestimmte Entscheidung über ihr rechtliches Geschlecht zu ermöglichen, stellen zahlreiche Staaten weiterhin hohe Anforderungen an dessen Änderung. Angesichts der Diversität nationaler Regelungen untersucht Alix Schulz, wie das rechtliche Geschlecht eines Menschen in grenzüberschreitenden Sachverhalten bestimmt wird und welche grund- und menschenrechtlichen Vorgaben hierbei zu beachten sind.

University of Toronto Press Regulation by Municipal Licensing
Book SynopsisMunicipal licensing serves a variety of regulatory purposes such as consumer protection and public health and safety. The municipal licensing power is delegated from the provincial government, up to the present, municipalities have been restricted to enumerated, specific powers, and the result has been the growth of a disorganized and unwieldy accumulation of bylaws, many of which conflict or are obsolete. The development of a two-tier system of municipal government, exemplified by Metropolitan Toronto, adds to the complexity of the issues. Basing their analysis upon municipal experience in Ontario, the authors envisage a reorganized system in which provincial and municipal powers will be exercised more rationally to deal with problems at the level at which they tend to occur.Municipal licensing in practice is the topic of a study of the cartage and taxicab industries in a number of Canadian and American cities.

Book SynopsisTrade Review‘This outstanding book provides a rigorous examination of the complex legal issues raised by the cross-border protection of trade secrets in today’s knowledge-based society. It is a unique contribution that will influence the future interpretation and application of European private international law rules in this field.’ -- Pedro De Miguel Asensio, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain'For anyone transferring technology into EU member states, this is an important book. To encourage innovation, the EU upgraded its substantive trade secrecy law. It did not, however, consider private international law. This book fills that gap with a thorough, learned, and highly readable discussion of jurisdiction and applicable law.' -- Rochelle Dreyfuss, New York University, US‘Trade secrets are still too often seen as ancillary to registered IP rights, whereas they are crucial in our borderless data-driven economy. This excellent study looks at how private international law deals with cross-border trade secret disputes. It does so in a clear and comprehensive manner. This is essential reading!’ -- Paul Torremans, University of Nottingham, UK‘How can lawyers prepare for cross-border trade secret disputes? Such cases require combined expertise in different areas, such as international commercial contracting, private international law and intellectual property law or related rights. This book facilitates this task by providing a comprehensive and clear analysis of the relevant rules in the European Union. It guides practitioners and scholars to reflect on how and where such cross-border trade secret disputes can be taken to courts, and how this specialized legal area could be better designed in the future.’ -- Marta Pertegás Sender, Maastricht University, the NetherlandsTable of ContentsContents: PART I THE FACTUAL, THEORETICAL AND SUBSTANTIVE LAW BACKGROUND. 1 Introduction to cross-border trade secret disputes 2 The factual and theoretical background to trade secret protection 3 The international framework for the protection of trade secrets 4 The protection of trade secrets in the European Union PART II TRADE SECRETS AND PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL LAW. 5 Characterisation in European private international law 6 The international private international law framework for trade secret protection 7 Jurisdiction over trade secret disputes in the European Union 8 The law applicable to trade secret disputes in the European Union 9 Overriding mandatory rules, public policy and non-excludable rules in the Trade Secret Directive 10 Conclusions on jurisdiction and applicable law with respect to cross-border trade secret disputes Index

Bristol University Press Property, Power and Politics: Why We Need to
Book SynopsisGlobalization is an extraordinary phenomenon affecting virtually everything in our lives. And it is imperative that we understand the operation of economic power in a globalized world if we are to address the most challenging issues our world is facing today, from climate change to world hunger and poverty. This revolutionary work rethinks globalization as a power system feeding from, and in competition with, the state system. Cutting across disciplines of law, politics and economics, it explores how multinational enterprises morphed into world political organisations with global reach and power, but without the corresponding responsibilities. In illuminating how the concentration of property rights within corporations has led to the rejection of democracy as an ineffective system of government and to the rise in inequality, Robé offers a clear pathway to a fairer and more sustainable power system.Table of ContentsGeneral Introduction; Part 1 ~ Property; Introduction to Part 1; The Meaning of Property; The Modern Constitutional Mode of Government; Sovereignty and Property; From Political Enterprise to the Modern State; The Mixing of Democracy and Despotism; Part 2 ~ Firms in the World Power System; Introduction to Part 2; Firms; The Features of Business Corporations; The Spreading of the Corporate System and Its Consequences; Coping with Firms; Towards a Sustainable World Power System.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Private International Law, Art and Cultural
Book SynopsisThis timely book demonstrates how full account can be taken of the structure and method of private international law in its expanding relationship with cultural heritage law, identifying opportunities for keeping pace with the underpinning value judgments. Through a global lens, Roodt explores how value-rationality and mutuality can defeat the dogmatic underpinnings of conflicts and jurisdiction rules that frustrate the achievement of global solidarity in public policy decisions and the treatment of foreign public law.The satisfactory settlement of claims based on ownership and the restitution of art and cultural objects requires improvements in the approaches and methods of dispute resolution that prevail today. The author reveals hidden dimensions of private international law, which can help re-script these approaches and methods to better tailor them to the illicit trade in cultural objects, title laundering, the suppression of policy considerations and ethical concerns that support the restitution of Nazi spoliated art.International officials and policymakers will find this a unique and ethically comprehensive resource, addressing matters that impact the artistic, cultural and historical record and the safeguarding of cultural and heritage objects within the contemporary art market. Adjudicators, law enforcement officials and legal scholars will appreciate its fresh and inclusive treatment of issues including restitution, material heritage and provenance.Trade Review'This book provides the reader with a fresh perspective on cultural heritage law by focusing upon its relationship with principles of private international law. It discusses complex and important issues, such as the repatriation of Nazi spoliated art, in a manner which is engaging and commendably ambitious in scope.' --Janet Ulph, University of Leicester, UK'Dr Roodt offers a fresh exploration of the relationship between private international law and cultural heritage law, and provides an insightful account of the role that private international law can play in the protection of art and cultural objects. Private international law is an essential backdrop against which to consider restitution and spoliation claims, not only in terms of the determination of venue for dispute resolution, but also as regards the law to govern problems of ownership and compensation. This book is a welcome reassertion of the role of private international law in handling the morally and legally challenging problems which affect the international art and antiquities market.' --Janeen M. Carruthers, University of Glasgow'With its extensive footnoting and lists of cases from at least fourteen countries, this wide-ranging and detailed survey makes an important contribution to the growing body of literature and analysis surrounding this difficult and topical subject, as the bibliography of over 30 pages indicates. International lawyers as well as policy makers everywhere should consider this book an essential purchase.' --Phillip and Elizabeth Taylor, The Barrister MagazineTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Research Handbook on EU Private International Law
Book SynopsisThe harmonization of private international law in Europe has advanced rapidly since the entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam. Most aspects of private international law are now governed or at least affected by EU legislation, and there is a substantial and growing body of case-law from the European Court as well as the courts of the Member States. This timely Handbook addresses key questions and problems that currently exist in the rules of private international law laid down by European Union regulations.Bringing together perspectives from both civil law and common law traditions, the book mainly considers issues relating to the Brussels I Regulation on civil jurisdiction and judgments, and to the Rome I and II Regulations on choice of law in respect of contractual or non-contractual obligations. Weaknesses in the current law are identified, and suggestions are made for possible improvements. The expert contributors focus on currently relevant problems including some issues which have tended to be neglected.Academics, law students and public officials interested in private international law will find this Handbook to be a valuable resource. Both practising lawyers and commercial lobbyists will also find many useful insights. Contributors include: O. Bamodu, I. Carr, Y. Farah, G. Güneysu-Güngör, L. Heffernan, S. Hourani, D. Kenny, M. Koutsias, X.E. Kramer, P. Stone, E. Treppoz, A. Yilmaz-Vastardis, H.-L.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Transboundary Pollution: Evolving Issues of
Book SynopsisTransboundary Pollution: Evolving Issues of International Law and Policy provides a comprehensive and perceptive overview of the legal principles that govern pollution internationally and explores the utilization of these principles in practice.Legal principles regarding State responsibility for transboundary pollution are well settled in international law. At issue is how these principles are applied and what mechanisms are developed to regulate specific types of transboundary pollution, including pollution of the marine environment and shared water resources, nuclear pollution and air pollution.Expert contributors come together in this book to discuss all major aspects of transboundary pollution and the practical application of the State responsibility doctrine. Empirical studies of European, Asian and Southeast Asian countries demonstrate regional perspectives of how international law and policy governing transboundary pollution translates into practice.Academics, students and practitioners alike will benefit from the perceptive and discerning insight the book presents into this important issue within international law, environmental law and public policy.Contributors: R.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Judicial Cooperation in European Private Law
Book SynopsisNotwithstanding increases in the scope for interaction between European and national courts, little research has been undertaken into the potential impact of institutional cooperation and dialogue in European private law making. This coherent collection of original chapters provides unique insights into these developments - with a particular focus on consumer law, and changes in national civil procedure via substantive law enforcement - from a broad range of stakeholders, including academics and judges from the EU and the US. Dialogue of both a vertical (between national and European courts) and horizontal (between national courts) nature is visible in the growing number of preliminary references to the CJEU in European private law. Combined with activism on the part of national courts and the growing importance of regulators, this dialogue brings about new forms of development of European private law. This book offers a case-based analysis of these processes, highlighting the need to focus on the instruments of dialogue and cooperation, and pressing beyond the prevailing focus on constitutional dialogue to reveal a new perspective on the private law sphere. Judicial Cooperation in European Private Law will appeal to scholars, students, practising lawyers and judges interested in the creation and development of European private law at both national and EU levels.Contributors include: F. Cafaggi, A.C. Ciacchi, F. Gómez Pomar, M. Józon, S. Law, K. Lyczkowska, M. Safjan, A.J. Scirica, C. TimmermansTrade Review'In 2014, the European Commission proposal for an optional European sales law was withdrawn. Meanwhile, the discussion of a European private law has become very successful. The existing acquis has been supplemented by a wealth of case law. This has resulted in an intensive dialogue of national courts, the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights. In this book, the recent arrival on the scene of European and national regulators is welcomed and analysed.' --Ewoud Hondius, University of Utrecht, the NetherlandsTable of ContentsContents: 1.
