ISBN: 9780198256663 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Can the law really protect human rights when they are most under siege? During much of South Africa's state of emergency, the country's highest court grimly rejected efforts to use the law to restrain emergency power. This work examines the intersection between law and emergency power in South Africa. Ellmann begins with an outline of the legal framework that exists in South Africa, pointing out the capacity it has to mitigate the excesses of the legislators' designs. He continues by demonstrating through the judges decisions that, with few exceptions, they repeatedly vindicated the emergency...

Financial Conglomerates and the Chinese Wall: Regulating Conflicts of Interest
ISBN: 9780198257134 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While conglomerates bring with them many economic benefits, such as diversification of risk and economies of scale, they also impose such costs as systemic risk and conflict of interest abuses. This book explores how regulators can ensure that conglomerate regulation is sufficiently strong to eradicate abuses but sufficiently flexible to secure the benefits of conglomeration. The Chinese Wall - a regulatory mechanism aimed at stemming the flow of information from one department in a firm to another, and reconciling conflicts of interest more generally - is singled out for special...

EC Tax Law
ISBN: 9780198257646 / Angielski / Twarda / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Tax law and fiscal policy are subjects which are generally considered to be close to the heart of the Single European Market, yet because of the complexity of EC tax law few have attempted to grapple with its multifarious difficulties. There is, strangely, little literature on the subject. This new book by two experienced EC lawyers fills that gap by examining in some detail the various tax regimes affecting the Community and uncovers the links between policy and law-making in a way which will give all readers a firm understanding of the principles of EC tax law.

A Historical Introduction to the Law of Obligations
ISBN: 9780198764120 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this book David Ibbetson exposes the historical layers beneath the modern rules and principles of contract, tort, and unjust enrichment. Small-scale changes caused by lawyers successfully exploiting procedural advantages are juxtaposed with changes caused by friction along the boundaries of these principal legal categories; fossilized remnants of old doctrines jostle with newer ideas in a state of half-consistent tension; and loose-knit rules of equity developed in the Chancery infiltrate themselves into more tightly controlled Common law structures.
