Download or read book Tort Law in Brazil written by Eugênio Battesini and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2024-06-17 with total page 181 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 Brazil. 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 in Brazil. 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 Class and Group Actions in Arbitration written by Bernard Hanotiau and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several decades ago, a typical arbitration would involve one claimant against one respondent. Over the years, more and more cases involve several claimants against several respondents. Today, one third of all international ICC arbitrations seem to involve multiparty cases, multi-contract cases involving multiple contracts, multiple parties. The evolution has continued and the debate today is whether it would be possible for a class of people in the same situation or a group of citizens having the same interest to start one single arbitration procedure as a group or as a class. This publication examines the complex issues involved in class or group arbitration on a comparative law basis. Is there a place for such proceedings within the framework of the arbitration process? Class action procedures, as developed in the United States court system and more recently in Canada, are almost nonexistent in Europe. The European Commission has advocated collective redress as an important means of access to justice but class actions have found little enthusiasm in the Members States. The book highlights the lessons which have been learned from the experience of cases in the US and in Europe. What does the future hold for class, collective and mass arbitrations? Are they a marginal phenomenon or has their potential yet to be realized? What are possible solutions to the issues that have been encountered? Can we expect to see more of such arbitrations in the future? Written by arbitrators, academics and practitioners, this Dossier will provide the answers to these questions and many more.

Download or read book Application of Foreign Law written by Carlos Esplugues Mota and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-03-30 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last decade Europe has undertaken an active and broad process of harmonisation of choice-of-law rules within the EU. However, this drastic movement towards a harmonised system has so far left aside a highly relevant issue: the application by judicial and non-judicial authorities of the foreign law. In full contrast to the little attention so far paid to it in the EU, this issue is said to be the crux of the conflict of laws. It violates legal certainty and contradicts the objective of ensuring full access to justice to all European citizens within the EU. This book provides a comparative study of the existing situation in all EU member states and drafts some basic principles for a future European instrument. It will become a highly useful tool for lawyers, judges, notaries, land registries, academics, prosecutors etc.

Download or read book 2007 written by Paul Volken and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009-04-27 with total page 639 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2007 was arguably the most extraordinary year in recent memory for the development of Private International Law. Reflecting the vitality and fluidity of a subject that is in constant motion, Volume IX of the Yearbook of Private International Law is again a very rich and multi-faceted book. An entire thematic section of this volume is devoted to the "Rome II" Regulation on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations, which was adopted by the EC institutions in July 2007. Being the first EC regulation on pure applicable law issues, this text opens up a new era in the process of creating a European PIL system. It deserved therefore a detailed commentary and analysis of its main provisions by experts from several EU States. Because of the interest that this European text presents for third party States, some distinguished scholars from non-European areas (the US, Japan, Latin America and Australia) were also asked to express their views on this important piece of Community legislation and the possible influence it may have on conflict developments in their respective countries and regions.
Download or read book Breaking chains building bridges cooperation in upholding the rights of workers rescued from conditions analogous to slavery in Tocantins written by Nathalia Canhedo and published by AYA Editora. This book was released on 2023-11-29 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is the result of a master’s dissertation, but especially of the author’s concern to understand how, in the 21st century, we are still discussing degrading forms of labour without ever having actually freed ourselves from the chains of slavery experienced in centuries past. The state of Tocantins, as one of the Brazilian states that most often supplies slave labour, as well as importing this form of labour, has repercussions both domestically and internationally, which is why the study was justified. The north of Brazil, where the state of Tocantins is located, is a vast region with low levels of education, where many people live below the poverty line and with little state action, making it a favourable environment for workers to be recruited in slavery-like conditions. However, modern slavery has much deeper roots than can be measured and was only formally extinguished by political and economic interests, which contributes to the fact that even today the issue is the subject of worldwide studies and criticism, since the marginalised class of yesteryear has become the modern slaves of today. Unfortunately, history proves that the abolition of slavery was due to British pressure on Brazil to establish a new society: the consumer society. In other words, the new type of society would require products to be commercialised, but above all people to consume them, which justified the end of slavery. However, the end of slavery did not really mean the end of the exploitation of human labour power, because the excluded class of former slaves formed the marginalised class of modern Brazilian society, as they were left at the mercy of a capitalist system that was not inclusive and had no real opportunities for social mobility. Thus, this class of workers defined the future of their generations in which the barriers of social injustice and non-belonging could never be overcome because labour for the former slaves was never an emancipating mechanism, marking secular social injustices that continue to this day. The truth is that freed slaves, especially black, poor and illiterate slaves, started to be chained in other ways, especially those that caused physical and emotional illness, because they had to be subjected to degrading work due to the lack of education, culture and opportunities, making the same slave society of ancient times persist, but in a new guise. The slave of precision, that is, the individual who faces the absence of opportunities to achieve basic survival, becomes the worker in conditions similar to slavery by accepting work in precarious and humiliating conditions for personal and family needs given the demands of the capitalist world, creating a favourable environment for the perpetuation of modern slavery. Therefore, it is against this backdrop that the study of labour in conditions analogous to slavery becomes fundamental so that one day we can actually put an end to this vicious cycle from the perspective of coordinated actions between the various bodies that are responsible at the domestic legal level for combating and eradicating neo-slavery once and for all.

Download or read book Rela es de Consumo no Brasil written by Amanda Celli Cascaes and published by Editora Singular. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trata-se de edição bilíngue que reúne 15 artigos de renomados advogados da área de defesa do consumidor que tratam de temas sensíveis como o regime de responsabilidades das plataformas de marketplace, a lei do Superendividamento e as relações de consumo no mercado digital. O trabalho foi elaborado pelo Comitê de Consumo do IBRAC que identificou a necessidade de tratar de decisões e temas contemporâneos de relações de consumo. Possivelmente agravada pela pandemia, identificou-se a situação em que operadores do Direito, por meio da iniciativa privada, órgãos de defesa do consumidor ou mesmo Poder Judiciário, precisaram se reinventar para trazer à sociedade respostas disruptivas, não mais encontradas exclusivamente em nosso Código de Defesa do Consumidor. Novas tecnologias trouxeram inovação às relações de consumo. Modelos disruptivos de negócios consumeristas foram surgindo e se tornaram realidade entre nós. Plataformas de intermediação, economia de compartilhamento, proteção de dados, aprimoramento do e-commerce, foram alguns dos temas que precisaram ser aprofundados e enfrentados pelos operadores do Direito, de modo a apresentar à sociedade de consumo diretrizes para o seu efetivo funcionamento. Do ponto de vista processual, novos temas também começaram a ocupar espaço no dia a dia. A sobrecarga do Poder Judiciário justificou o estudo aprofundado de on line dispute resolutions, como forma alternativa de soluções de conflitos. Os danos coletivos, em casos de violação a direitos individuais homogêneos, também passaram por reflexões perante o Superior Tribunal de Justiça. Assim, com o objetivo principal de agregar tecnicamente aos principais e atuais temas que circundam as relações de consumo em nosso país, nosso grupo entrega mais esse trabalho coletivo que, acima de qualquer coisa, é motivo de orgulho e satisfação.
