Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Law - Civil / Private, Trade, Anti Trust Law, Business Law, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Essen, course: Business Law, language: English, abstract: The capacity to contract is a fundamental right that empowers a person to participate in everyday life. To protect certain groups of people from legal transaction that overreach and overexerts them, there a laws in the BGB that limit or deny their contracting capacity. However, sometimes there are cases in which the deficiencies to contract seem to have more disadvantages than advantages for a person. That can be the case in surrogate businesses or if it is not practicable to get the consent of a parent. Especially when it comes to children who are acting anonymously in the internet, it will be challenging in the future for retailers to deal with them. For example, 1 on July 28 in 208, the AG Berlin-Mitte ruled in favour of a father whose daughter had bought a subscription for ringtones without his consent. In this case, the provider "Jamba" was left empty-handed.2 In the light of digitalisation it has become more and more usual to make subscription based contracts not only for hardware but for software as well. Software like photoshop or even office software can be licensed and subscription based. Since those kinds of contracts are not included in the pocket money section, it may become hard for retailers to directly contract with minors without asking for the consent of their parents that would have to reach them directly, which can be rather unpractical.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Law - Civil / Private / Industrial / Labour, grade: 2, University of applied sciences, Düsseldorf, language: English, abstract: This paper presents the essentials of a contract as a part of the German civil law and how it is governed through this law. An important characteristic of German civil law system which sets it apart from common law system is the codification of core rules received from Roman law. These codes are drafted in order to cover all relationships within the field of law they govern. The provisions of a code are the references for a great many practical legal problems arise within that field over time. The concept of codification was developed in order to form a base where the laws of a given field can be found in one category – the code – instead of creating many judicial decisions. Beside its general part, German civil code contains other four divisions; the law of obligations, the law of property, the law of family or domestic relations, and the law of inheritance. The whole commercial law falls under the law of obligation regulated by the code. This includes e.g. the law of bills, notes, shipping, insurance, patents, copyrights, trademarks, contracts, and business transactions. This way of codification provides all citizens with a collection of laws they must follow. These laws constitute a systematic written collection of interrelated articles arranged by subject of matter.

This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The product of a unique collaboration between academic scholars, legal practitioners, and technology experts, this Handbook is the first of its kind to analyze the ongoing evolution of smart contracts, based upon blockchain technology, from the perspective of existing legal frameworks - namely, contract law.

With a mix of scholarly commentary and practical application, chapter authors provide expert insights on the core issues involving the use of smart contracts, concluding that smart contracts cannot supplant contract law and the courts, but leaving open the question of whether there is a need for specialized regulations to prevent abuse. This book should be read by anyone interested in the disruptive effect of new technologies on the law generally, and contract law in particular.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Law, grade: 2,7, University of applied sciences, Cologne, course: Business Law, language: English, abstract: This assignment is about the natural person in German Civil Law and will first give an quick overview about the BGB and will then explain where the natural person is defined. The following chapter will then describe what and/or who is a legal person and which rights and obligations has a natural person. After that, different obligations and rights in different stages of ages will be explained and substantiate with examples and jurisdictions. The natural person in antiquity, slaves were fundamentally without rights, they had no rights and were treated as one thing because of the legal system and were not considered in the legal sense as a person. The legal system must therefore make a decision on who owns rights and, in other words, who is to be considered a person. This regulation is made by the legal institution of legal capacity. Legal capacity is the ability to be the bearer of rights and obligations. Legal capacity has natural and legal persons. Many things in terms of natural persons have changed since the antiquity and the German Civil Law came into effect. Changes and actual regulations will be explained in this assignment.

Download or read book Fundamental Rights in European Contract Law written by Chantal Mak and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our modern insistence on democratic social values has engendered an intense debate over the intersection of fundamental rights and contract law. In particular, case law in several European national jurisdictions has exerted significant pressure on traditional contract law instruments to conform more transparently with the fundamental rights enshrined in the EC Charter. This pressure is clearly evident in a number of societal areas subject to contract law, among them employment, housing, and privacy. It can even be argued, as this author does, that fundamental rights intermediate between politics and law. Taking its cue from many initiatives toward the development of a more coherent, even harmonised, European contract law, this book is the first major study to examine the following essential questions with detailed reference to actual judicial developments: • To what extent do fundamental rights affect contract law? • In which types of cases can fundamental rights be applied? • What does the explicit consideration of fundamental rights add to contract law adjudication? The author approaches the analysis along two different avenues: first, a comparative overview of developments in case law, and second, a more general theoretical view on the interaction between fundamental rights and rules of contract law which is tested against examples from various legal systems. The focus throughout is on developments in case law, because the impact of fundamental rights in contract law has been felt on the level of dispute resolution rather than on the level of legislation. Germany and the Netherlands are chosen because their judiciaries have been notable for their early and continuing attention to the theme, and England and Italy for perspectives on developments under common law and civil law systems respectively.
