Restitutionary Rights to Share in Damages: Carers' Claims
ISBN: 9780521036962 / Angielski / Miękka / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explains the phenomenon of shared damages by which a stranger to litigation is entitled to share in the damages recovered in a legal suit. Two prominent examples are the carer, entitled to share in the fund of damages recovered by a victim of tort, and the indemnity insurer, entitled to participate in damages won by the insured. Simone Degeling argues that the right to share is given to reduce the potential of the claimant's unjust enrichment. This analysis interests restitution and tort lawyers, as well as academic institutions and court libraries.

The European Contract Law: Scots and South African Perspectives
ISBN: 9780748624256 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume sets out initially to test the claim that, as combinations of Civil and Common Law influences, the mixed systems of contract law in Scotland and South Africa have anticipated the content of the Principles of European Contract Law (PECL) concluded and published in 2003 by the unofficial Commission on European Contract Law. The studies go much further, however. Current official moves towards a European contract law within the European Union lend the critiques of PECL offered in this volume an especial urgency and significance. A European contract law is nearer to reality than ever...

Contract and Property in Early Modern China
ISBN: 9780804746397 / Angielski / Twarda / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The role of contract in early modern Chinese economic life, when acknowledged at all, is usually presented as a minor one. This volume demonstrates that contract actually played a critical role in the everyday structure of many kinds of relationships and transactions; contracts are, moreover, of enormous value to present-day scholars as transcriptions of the fine details of day-to-day economic activity. Offering a new perspective on economic and legal institutions, particularly the closely related institutions of contract and property, in Qing and Republican China, the papers in this volume...

Regulation by Contract: A New Way to Privatize Electricity Distribution?
ISBN: 9780821355923 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In many developing countries, both governments and investors have expressed disappointment with the performance of recently privatized electricity distribution companies. Some investors claim that the design of the new regulatory system is fundamentally flawed and recommend that independent regulatory commissions be replaced or supplemented by more explicit 'regulation by contract' that would reduce the discretion of new commissions. This paper examines whether regulation by contract or a combination of regulation by contract and regulatory independence would provide a better regulatory...

A covenant is a binding agreement both spiritually and physically and the covenants in our lives impact us for good or for bad on a daily basis. We all make covenants knowingly and unknowingly with our words, promises, oaths, vows, actions, places we visit, etc. Therefore, we must make efforts to understand them, to know how God uses them and also how the devil uses them. Doing this, will help us to know what we are to do when someone wants to bring us into a covenant agreement (contract) with them. We can stop and ask ourselves about the impact that making the covenant will have on our...

Unjust Enrichment and Public Law

This book examines claims involving unjust enrichment and public bodies in France, England, and the EU.

Performance-Oriented Remedies in European Sale of Goods Law
ISBN: 9781841138930 / Angielski / Twarda / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Contractual remedies aimed at performance create a well-known rift between common law and civil law traditions, in the one existing in the shadow of damages, while in the other regarded as a generally enforceable right following from the contract. Developments in approximation of laws in Europe, in particular in consumer sales law, suggest however that a convergence of these approaches may be within reach. Putting the focus on the contract of sale, which, as the most common type of contract, may fulfill a leading role in the harmonization process, this book provides a model for further...

The Harmonisation of European Contract Law: Implications for European Private Laws, Business and Legal Practice
ISBN: 9781841135915 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. After an extended period in which the European Community has merely nibbled at the edges of national contract law, the bite of a European contract law has lately become more pronounced. Many areas of law, from competition and consumer law to gender equality law, are now the subject of determined efforts at harmonization, though they are perhaps often seen as peripheral to mainstream commercial contract law. Despite continuing doubts about the constitutional competence of the Commission to embark on further harmonization in this area, European contract law is now taking shape with the...

This book aims to explain the principles of contract law for the businessman, and to put those principles into their commercial context. Anyone involved in commercial transactions needs at least a basic understanding of the principles of contract law - the legal framework for all commercial activity.

Rehabilitating Lochner: Defending Individual Rights against Progressive Reform
ISBN: 9780226043531 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this timely reevaluation of an infamous Supreme Court decision, David E. Bernstein provides a compelling survey of the history and background of Lochner v. New York. This 1905 decision invalidated state laws limiting work hours and became the leading case contending that novel economic regulations were unconstitutional. Sure to be controversial, Rehabilitating Lochner argues that the decision was well grounded in precedent--and that modern constitutional jurisprudence owes at least as much to the limited-government ideas of Lochner proponents as to the more...

Unexpected Circumstances in European Contract Law
ISBN: 9781107003408 / Angielski / Twarda / 714 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The recent financial crisis has questioned whether existing contracts may be adapted, terminated or renegotiated as a result of unexpected circumstances. The question is not a new one. In medieval times the notion of clausula rebus sic stantibus was developed to cope with such situations, and Germany introduced the theory of Wegfall der Geschaftsgrundlage. In England, the Coronation cases provided one possible answer. This comparative study explores the possibility of classifying jurisdictions as 'open' or 'closed' in this regard."

Rights and Private Law
ISBN: 9781849461429 / Angielski / Twarda / 684 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The notion of rights is foundational to private law. What is distinctive about private law is that it recognizes and gives effect to the rights that individuals have against other individuals. In recent years, a strand of thinking has developed in private law which has come to be known as 'rights-based' analysis. This analysis seeks to develop an understanding of private law obligations, which is driven by the recognition of the rights we have against each other rather than by other influences on private law, such as the pursuit of community welfare goals. A rights-based understanding of...
