Download or read book Die Class action im amerikanischen Recht und deutscher Ordre public written by Christoph Greiner and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1998 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gruppenklagen in den USA, sogenannte class actions, ermöglichen Repräsentanten einer «class» von in gleicher Weise durch rechtswidriges Handeln des Beklagten betroffenen Personen, ohne deren Zustimmung Klage für sie zu erheben - in die Schlagzeilen sind auf diese Weise jüngst Schweizer Großbanken geraten. Ein amerikanischer Anwalt verlangt von ihnen derzeit im Namen jüdischer Holocaust-Opfer im Wege einer class action 20 Milliarden Dollar Schadensersatz. Im Frühjahr 1997 reichten ebenfalls Holocaust-Opfer in New York eine class action für möglicherweise 10.000 Betroffene wegen nicht geleisteter Versicherungszahlungen unter anderen auch gegen Unternehmen der Allianzgruppe ein. Anerkennung und Vollstreckung solcher class action-Urteile auch in Deutschland erscheinen zwar mit Blick auf den deutschen ordre public fraglich, lassen sich aber nicht pauschal ausschließen.
Download or read book Collective Actions in Europe written by Csongor István Nagy and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book offers an analytical presentation of how Europe has created its own version of collective actions. In the last three decades, Europe has seen a remarkable proliferation of collective action legislation, making class actions the most successful export product of the American legal scholarship. While its spread has been surrounded by distrust and suspiciousness, today more than half of the EU Member States have introduced collective actions for damages and from those who did, more than half chose, to some extent, the opt-out system.This book demonstrates why collective actions have been felt needed from the perspective of access to justice and effectiveness of law, the European debate and the deep layers of the European reaction and resistance, revealing how the Copernican turn of class actions questions the fundamentals of the European thinking about market and public interest. Using a transsystemic presentation of the European national models, it analyzes the way collective actions were accommodated with the European regulatory environment, the novel and peculiar regulatory questions they had to address and how and why they work differently on this side of the Atlantic.

Download or read book International Antitrust Litigation written by Jurgen Basedow and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-02-03 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decentralisation of competition law enforcement and the stimulation of private damages actions in the European Union go hand in hand with the increasingly international character of antitrust proceedings. As a consequence, there is an ever-growing need for clear and workable rules to co-ordinate cross-border actions, whether they are of a judicial or administrative nature: rules on jurisdiction, applicable law and recognition as well as rules on sharing of evidence, the protection of business secrets and the interplay between administrative and judicial procedures. This book offers an in-depth analysis of these long neglected yet practically most important topics. It is the fruit of a research project funded by the European Commission, which brought together experts from academia, private practice and policy-making from across Europe and the United States. The 16 chapters cover the relevant provisions of the Brussels I and Rome I and II Regulations, the co-operation mechanisms provided for by Regulation 1/2003 and selected issues of US procedural law (such as discovery) that are highly relevant for transatlantic damages actions. Each contribution critically analyses the existing legislative framework and formulates specific proposals to consolidate and enhance cross-border antitrust litigation in Europe and beyond.
Download or read book Mass Justice written by Jenny Steele and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This insightful book considers phenomena such as mass torts, which affect numerous victims, and complex insolvency cases, which concern multiple and often competing interests. The editors identify and respond to the need for reflection on the notion of ?mass justice?. The assembled contributors show that while private law is usually debated in terms of individual rights and duties, the reality is that these are deeply influenced by collective issues. They address examples such as the operation of class actions; the availability of insurance funds; the logistics of negotiating with and compensating a wide range of individuals; as well as distribution of assets in insolvency proceedings. This unique and detailed book will appeal to academics and students of private law as well as those with an interest in law and society. Scholars from non-law disciplines with an interest in insurance and liability will also find this study thought-provoking, as will practitioners and policy-makers.

Download or read book Punitive Damages Common Law and Civil Law Perspectives written by Helmut Koziol and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the growing literature on the subject of punitive damages, the consensus is that it seems worthwhile and even necessary to discuss, thoroughly and on a comparative basis, the nature, role and suitability of such damages in tort law and private law in general. This book contains reports from selected jurisdictions that explicitly allow the award of punitive damages as well as from jurisdictions which purport (sometimes emphatically) to deny their existence (although a number covertly incorporate such damages into the framework of their tort systems). It benefits from an economic analysis of punitive damages, a report from a private international law perspective, one on their insurability and one on aggravated damages. The book’s comparative report and conclusion critically evaluates the material in the above reports and advances a thorough analysis of the nature of punitive damages, the cases for and against them, and their suitability in the field of tort law. Alternative remedies in private and criminal law are also considered. The publication will appeal to students, academics, practitioners, judges, policy makers and those in the insurance industry.
