ISBN: 9780521863889 / Angielski / Twarda / 516 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The focus of this book, the legal situation created when an agent acts without authority, is one of the most important issues in agency law.

Adopting a unique comparative perspective, the contributions are drawn from many different legal systems, providing the opportunity for analysis of the European common law/civil law divide. The analysis extends beyond Europe, however, taking into account the mixed legal system of South Africa, as well as the United States. Finally,...

Rethinking the Masters of Comparative Law
ISBN: 9781841132891 / Angielski / Twarda / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Comparative Law is experiencing something of a renaissance, as legal scholars and practitioners traditionally outside the discipline find it newly relevant in projects such as constitution and code drafting, the harmonization of laws, court decisions, or as a tool for understanding the globalization of legal institutions. On the other hand, comparativists within the discipline find themselves asking questions about the identity of comparative law, what it is that makes comparative law unique as a discipline, what is the way forward. This book, designed with courses in comparative law as well...

This volume continues the work of the International Academy of Estate and Trust Law in 2003 and 2004 in examining through the juxtaposition of civil and common law jurisdictions areas of fundamental importance to estate and trust lawyers internationally. Here we focus upon two themes: the definition of family and the impact of the expansion of the concept of family in law; and family fights over wills and estates - what recourse family members may have in challenging an estate. Each theme also has contained within it the continuing struggle between private and public: what...

The Regulation of Genetically Modified Organisms: Comparative Approaches
ISBN: 9780199542482 / Angielski / Twarda / 430 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The regulation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) continues to generate controversy. On the one hand, they are actively promoted by the biotechnology industry as vital to ensuring food security. Yet, on the other hand, consumer resistance persists, not least in the European Union, and such lack of confidence extends not just to GM food itself but also to the regulatory regime, where legal issues are inextricably linked with economics and politics. This edited collection provides a novel contribution to the ongoing debate, recognizing that the legislative environment is complicated by...

The Division of Wrongs: A Historical Comparative Study
ISBN: 9780199562794 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The common law, despite procedural divisions, has only ever had one class of civil wrongs. The civilians, by contrast, have typically split their law of wrongs in two, one group being called "delicts" and the other "quasi-delicts." Yet this division, which originated in Roman law, remains mysterious: it is clear neither where the line was drawn nor why a separation was made along this line.
This book does two things. In the first two parts, it investigates the origins of the division and its development in a modern civilian jurisdiction, France. What is argued for is that the Roman...

Epistemology and Methodology of Comparative Law
ISBN: 9781841134437 / Angielski / Twarda / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Whereas many modern works on comparative law focus on various aspects of legal doctrine, the aim of this book is of a more theoretical kind - to reflect on comparative law as a scholarly discipline, in particular on its epistemology and methodology. Thus, among its contents, the reader will find: a lively discussion of the kind of -knowledge- that is, or could be, derived from comparative law; an analysis of -legal families- which asks whether we need to distinguish different -legal families- according to areas of law; essays which ask what is the appropriate level for research to be...

Globalisation and Resistance: Law Reform in Asia Since the Crisis
ISBN: 9781841136806 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In comparing existing research on Eastern and Central Europe, Central Asia, and Latin America, it is clear that legal developments in East and South Asian societies are somewhat under-researched. What this book contributes to the debate is an -area study- - interdisciplinary research pertaining to a particular geographical or cultural region. The region discussed here presents an ideal testing ground for legal pluralism, and for economic, cultural, and political influences on the role of law in development. The 'developmental states' of Asia are regarded as refuting both Latin American...
