Download or read book International Arbitration in Portugal written by André Pereira da Fonseca, and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2020-08-19 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parties to cross-border disputes arising anywhere in the vast Portuguese-speaking world – a community of more than 230 million in a space that offers a wide array of investment opportunities across four continents – increasingly seek Portugal as their preferred seat of arbitration. A signatory to all relevant international conventions, Portugal has proven to be an ‘arbitration-friendly’ jurisdiction. This volume is the first and so far only book in English that provides a thorough, in-depth analysis of international arbitration law and practice in Portugal. Its contributing authors are among the most highly regarded legal names in the country, including scholars, arbitrators, and practitioners. The authors describe how international arbitration proceedings are conducted in Portugal, what cautions should be taken, and what procedural strategies may be suitable in particular cases. They provide insightful answers to questions such as the following: What matters can be submitted to arbitration under Portuguese law? What are the validity requirements for an arbitration agreement? How do the State courts interact with arbitration proceedings and what is the attitude of such courts toward international arbitration? What are the rules governing evidentiary matters in arbitration? How is an arbitration tribunal constituted? How are arbitrators appointed? How may they be challenged? How can an international arbitral award be recognized and enforced? How does the Portuguese legal system address the issue of damages and what specific damages are admitted? How are the costs of arbitration proceedings estimated and allocated? The book includes analyses of arbitration related to specific fields of the law, notably sports, administrative, tax, intellectual property rights (especially regarding reference and generic medicines), and corporate disputes. Each chapter provides, for the topics it addresses, an examination of the applicable laws, rules, arbitration practice, and views taken by arbitral tribunals and state courts as well as those of the most highly considered scholars. As a detailed examination of the legal framework and of all procedural steps of an arbitration in Portugal, from the drafting of an arbitration agreement to the enforcement of an award, this book constitutes an invaluable resource for parties involved in or considering an international arbitration in this country. The guidance that it seeks to provide in respect of any problem likely to arise in this context can be useful to arbitrators, judges, academics, and interested lawyers.

Download or read book Data Protection in the Internet written by Dário Moura Vicente and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book identifies and explains the different national approaches to data protection – the legal regulation of the collection, storage, transmission and use of information concerning identified or identifiable individuals – and determines the extent to which they could be harmonised in the foreseeable future. In recent years, data protection has become a major concern in many countries, as well as at supranational and international levels. In fact, the emergence of computing technologies that allow lower-cost processing of increasing amounts of information, associated with the advent and exponential use of the Internet and other communication networks and the widespread liberalization of the trans-border flow of information have enabled the large-scale collection and processing of personal data, not only for scientific or commercial uses, but also for political uses. A growing number of governmental and private organizations now possess and use data processing in order to determine, predict and influence individual behavior in all fields of human activity. This inevitably entails new risks, from the perspective of individual privacy, but also other fundamental rights, such as the right not to be discriminated against, fair competition between commercial enterprises and the proper functioning of democratic institutions. These phenomena have not been ignored from a legal point of view: at the national, supranational and international levels, an increasing number of regulatory instruments – including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation applicable as of 25 May 2018 – have been adopted with the purpose of preventing personal data misuse. Nevertheless, distinct national approaches still prevail in this domain, notably those that separate the comprehensive and detailed protective rules adopted in Europe since the 1995 Directive on the processing of personal data from the more fragmented and liberal attitude of American courts and legislators in this respect. In a globalized world, in which personal data can instantly circulate and be used simultaneously in communications networks that are ubiquitous by nature, these different national and regional approaches are a major source of legal conflict.

Download or read book Comparative Private Law written by Markus Müller-Chen and published by Dike Publishers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking beyond the border of one's own legal system is to embark on a journey with the promise of gaining knowledge of foreign legal systems, as well as a fresh perspective one's home system. This book guides students, academics, and lawyers on this journey, and shows that ideas developed elsewhere can be a treasure trove of inspiration for national courts, legislators, and legal practitioners. A particular concern for the book is to include non-Western countries in this endeavor. The first part of the book looks at the origins, purposes, and methods of comparative law, and it discusses the process of transplanting and receiving legal concepts, along with the potential pitfalls involved, using examples stretching from the reception of Roman law in Europe to the comparatively new phenomenon of European private law. The second part considers select legal systems, starting with the two most influential legal traditions, the civil law and the common law. The book examines their historical background and impact, the main sources of law, the predominant methods of dispute resolution, and the players shaping them. Then, it moves on to the legal systems in East Asia that are playing an increasingly important role in today's world, namely China, Japan, and South Korea. The book also takes a close look at those legal systems shaped by a major world religion, in particular Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Israel. It closes with an Annex on how to write a thesis using the comparative law method. [Subject: Comparative Law, Private Law]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI), objects and digital services now demonstrate new skills they did not have before, right up to replacing human activity through pre-programming or by making their own decisions. As part of the internet of things, AI applications are already widely used today, for example in language processing, image recognition and the tracking and processing of data.This policy brief illustrates the potential negative and positive impacts of AI and reviews related policy strategies adopted by the UK, US, EU, as well as Canada and China. Based on an ethical approach that considers the role of AI from a democratic perspective and considering the public interest, the authors make policy recommendations that help to strengthen the positive impact of AI and to mitigate its negative consequences.

Download or read book Tort Law in Portugal written by Nuno Manuel Pinto Oliveira and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this book provides ready access to how the legal dimension of prevention against harm and loss allocation is treated in Portugal. This traditional branch of law not only tackles questions which concern every lawyer, whatever his legal expertise, but also concerns each person’s most fundamental rights on a worldwide scale. Following a general introduction that probes the distinction between tort and crime and the relationship between tort and contract, the monograph describes how the concepts of fault and unlawfulness, and of duty of care and negligence, are dealt with in both the legislature and the courts. The book then proceeds to cover specific cases of liability, such as professional liability, liability of public bodies, abuse of rights, injury to reputation and privacy, vicarious liability, liability of parents and teachers, liability for handicapped persons, product liability, environmental liability, and liability connected with road and traffic accidents. Principles of causation, grounds of justification, limitations on recovery, assessment of damages and compensation, and the role of private insurance and social security are all closely considered. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable resource for lawyers Portugal. Academics and researchers will also welcome this very useful guide, and will appreciate its value not only as a contribution to comparative law but also as a stimulus to harmonization of the rules on tort.

Download or read book Da Responsabilidade Extracontratual em Direito Internacional Privado written by Anabela Susana de Sousa Gonçalves and published by Leya. This book was released on 2023-07-21 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O objecto desta investigação centra-se no plano da responsabilidade civil, que envolva relações privadas internacionais. O regime da responsabilidade extracontratual em Direito Internacional Privado cedo despertou a curiosidade da doutrina. Pretendeu-se com este estudo lançar uma nova reflexão sobre um tema tradicional. A vida social contemporânea é potenciadora de situações de responsabilidade extracontratual que estão relacionadas com mais do que uma ordem jurídica. Estas resultam das características da vida moderna: da globalização, da grande mobilidade dos indivíduos, da evolução técnica, da facilidade de circulação de informações e do capital. No processo de criação do Direito Internacional Privado de fonte europeia foi elaborado o Regulamento (CE) n.o 864/2007 do Parlamento Europeu e do Conselho de 11 de Julho de 2007 relativo à lei aplicável às obrigações extracontratuais, conhecido sob a denominação de Roma II. Visando unificar as regras de conflitos aplicadas nos Estados-membros quanto a esta questão, Roma II contém um novo regime jurídico para os problemas de responsabilidade extracontratual em Direito Internacional Privado, que se pretende comum a todos os ordenamentos jurídicos da União e que diverge em vários aspectos da regulamentação que resulta do Direito Internacional Privado dos Estados-membros, nomeadamente, das regras de Direito Internacional Privado portuguesas. Roma II relança a actualidade e a importância de um novo olhar sobre as questões de responsabilidade extracontratual em DIP, segundo uma perspectiva europeia. Desta forma, pretendeu-se, a partir dos dados normativos existentes actualmente, retirar as grandes coordenadas do regime vigente no plano da responsabilidade extracontratual em Direito Internacional Privado, a forma como se articulam, dando unidade ao sistema, de modo a obter uma compreensão global do mesmo. Neste plano, tornou-se claro as grandes mudanças introduzidas por Roma II, quanto às questões de responsabilidade extracontratual nos sistemas nacionais de Direito Internacional Privado dos Estados-membros e no ordenamento jurídico português, o que assinalámos ao longo da elaboração desta investigação. Se é verdade que Roma II traz a responsabilidade extracontratual em DIP à ribalta dos temas mais discutidos em Direito Internacional Privado, dando-lhe uma renovada actualidade, representa também, como é demonstrado no presente estudo, uma mudança no paradigma de regulamentação das relações privadas internacionais de responsabilidade extracontratual, em relação ao direito interno em vigor em cada um dos Estados-membros. Recensão ao livro ?Da Responsabilidade Extracontratual em Direito Internacional Privado? de Anabela Susana de Sousa Gonçalves no Anuario Español de Derecho Internacional Privado 2013 «Matizaciones al margen, procede dar la enhorabuena a la autora por esta tesis doctoral, referencia obligada en la doctrina europea; también, a la editorial Almedina, por apostar por publicaciones en formatos ?poco comerciales?, pero profundamente rigurosos y académicos».

Download or read book European Tort Law 2008 written by Helmut Koziol and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-05-05 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A harmonisation of European law presupposes sound mutual knowledge of the jurisdictions involved in the harmonisation process. However, partly due to language problems it is not always easy to obtain information about all these jurisdictions, especially as far as new developments are concerned. Against this background, the European Centre of Tort and Insurance Law and the - stitute for European Tort Law decided to publish a Yearbook on European Tort Law containing reports on the most interesting new developments in the field of tort law in different European countries. The eighth Yearbook on European Tort Law includes reports on most EU Member States, including the new Member States Bulgaria and Romania. Contributions from Switzerland and Norway as well as an overview of the developments in the field of EC law are also included. Furthermore, the Ye- book includes a comparative overview and several essays on key issues of tort law, most of which focus on questions of burden of proof. These essays, as well as the most important results of the country reports and the compa- tive overview, were presented and discussed at the 8th Annual Conference on European Tort Law in Vienna from 16 to 18 April 2009. The 9th Annual Conference on European Tort Law will again take place in Vienna from 8 to 10 April 2010.

Book excerpt: 'European Health Law' is the result of a long-term collaboration project between academic health lawyers working at various European research institutions.

As such, this volume covers a wide range of topics focussing on patients' rights and duties, the role of health professionals, and health care financing and rationing, as well as public health and health related issues, such as occupational health and environmental health.
