For the benefits offered by outsourcing and offshoring, organisations outsourcing to India must however recognise that there are real risks involved, and allocating such risk through a well constructed contract is a crucial step in minimizing such risk. As is the case with respect to any material agreement, the structure of an outsourcing agreement is important because it embodies the rights, remedies, duties and obligations of the parties and provides a blueprint for the parties' relationship.

When contracts transcend national boundaries, the national legal regime of any single...

Dass der amerikanische Supreme Court als "Urtypus" einer modernen und umfassenden Verfassungsgerichtsbarkeit von ideeller Bedeutung fur die Errichtung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts war, ist im deutschen Verfassungsrecht weithin anerkannt. Eine genaue rechtsvergleichende und rechtshistorische Betrachtung zeigt aber, dass das amerikanische Verfassungsbeispiel auch das deutsche Verfassungs- und Verfassungsprozessrecht in organisatorischer, institutioneller und prozessualer Hinsicht massgeblich gepragt hat. Gesichert ist, dass vom U.S. Supreme Court der starkste Einfluss auf das...

Because the liability of ship owners is limited, classification societies have been considered as exempt from liability. This book analyses which actions of classification societies may give rise to claims and whether or not the societies can be held liable under English, German or American maritime law. In addition, it develops the fundamental aspects of an international convention on the limitation of the liability of classification societies.

Die Arbeit untersucht mit der Anwendung der Eigentumsgarantie auf Rechtspositionen in der Sozialversicherung eine umstrittene dogmatische Figur aus rechtsvergleichender Sicht. Die Analyse ergibt, dass das Bundesverfassungsgericht und das ungarische Verfassungsgericht zwar unterschiedliche Voraussetzungen des Eigentumsschutzes fur massgeblich halten, aber vergleichbare Gesichtspunkte berucksichtigen. Entscheidend ist, dass der Staat die Ertrage der Erwerbsarbeit des Versicherten in irgendeiner Form abschopft. Der Eigentumsschutz bringt allerdings wenig praktischen Gewinn, da die Prufung von...

A multitude of conventions in the area of the Law of the Sea contains provisions on the issue of compensation for (wrongful) interferences with navigation. Even though interferences by warships and coast guard vessels, due to a perceived increased risk of international crimes at sea, seem to have become more frequent, the compensation provisions have hardly been applied. The book analyses all relevant compensation provisions and compares them to the general law of state responsibility. This necessarily includes a discussion of issues like the responsibility of international organizations,...

"New Default and Purchasing Law. An Interim Review"]
The written version of a lecture given to the Berlin Legal Society. The author makes an initial assessment of the new Default and Purchasing Act two years after the Law of Obligations Modernisation Act came into force. Both the pseudo-problems and the real problems of this area are illustrated here, as are individual questions of the conformity to guidelines of the new Purchasing Act. In particular this advocates a fair interaction with the new law and a discussion free from prejudice. The reform is also evaluated within the context...

The European Stock Corporation. Implementation questions and perspectives]

In October 2004 the European stock corporation, or Societas Europaea (S.E.), has been made available in the EU as a European form of company. The discussion concerning a European stock corporation harks back to the 1950's. Then, in 2001, a surprising accord was reached after various failed attempts to establish a standard European stock corporation.

However, in many partially decisive areas this accord was only able to be reached through extensive compromises. That's why it's feared that there will...

Writings pertaining to European and international private, banking and commercial law]
Europeanization and internationalization challenge the realm of jurisprudence to an extraordinary degree. The division in special fields and the relationship with other social sciences necessitate critical reevaluation in view of many interactions. Cross-references between commercial law regulation and private, autonomous arrangement distinctly show this development. Jurisprudence emerging beyond Germany has to deal with such challenges. The law of financial services serves as an example of the...
