This book was released on 2016-04-24 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The distinguished international lawyer Michael Pryles, who launched a meteoric career as an arbitrator after many years of teaching and writing on conflicts of law and other topics, has made a mark on arbitral law and practice that is recognized worldwide. In this book, over forty prominent arbitrators and arbitration scholars offer insightful essays on the thorny matters of jurisdiction, admissibility and choice of law in arbitration – topics which have long interested Professor Pryles and are of wide interest. Among the specific issues and topics examined are the following: • res judicata; • investment arbitration; • free trade agreements; • party autonomy; • application of provisional measures; • issue estoppel; • evidentiary inferences; • interim measures; • emergency and default proceedings; • the intersection of financing and jurisdiction; • consolidation of cases; and • non-contractual claims. Remarkable for its roster of highly distinguished contributors, this book is the only in-depth treatment of its subject. By turns thought-provoking and practical, it is bound to appeal to and be put to use by arbitrators and other lawyers who handle international cases. It will also prove of great value to global law firms and companies doing transnational business.
Download or read book EU Law and Private International Law written by Jan-Jaap Kuipers and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2011-11-25 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rome I Regulation on the Law Applicable to Contractual Obligations has unified the conflict of laws rules of the Member States. The influence of the European Union upon Private International Law goes beyond positive harmonisation however. There is a certain tension between European law and PIL. European law is concerned with whether the imposition of a rule constitutes a restriction to the internal market whereas PIL does not seek to neutralise the disadvantages that result from differences between national laws but instead tries to locate the geographical centre of the legal relationship. The present book attempts to identify the methodological disharmony between the two legal disciplines in the regulation of cross border contracts and proposes suggestions to enhance their mutual understanding.
Download or read book Information Rights and Obligations written by André Janssen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information requirements have become a key element of consumer policy at the European level and are also gaining increasing importance in all other areas of private law. The law stipulates that information provided should not be misleading and also involves requirements regarding the fairness and objectivity of what has been provided. In addition to controlling the veracity of what is voluntarily offered by traders, the law increasingly requires disclosure of certain information. This volume focuses especially on the question of how these information requirements influence the party autonomy. International contributors explore in various contexts whether the legislative policy regarding the information requirements and their relationship to party autonomy has been properly thought through.
Download or read book Modern European and Chinese Contract Law written by Junwei Fu and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2011-04-20 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comparative study of European and Chinese contract law opens a clear and practical way to identify and understand the differences between the two legal regimes. The author offers a detailed doctrinal comparison of the two systems of contract, focusing on the following fundamental elements: • the importance of socio-economic valuation in Chinese contract law; • the role of judicial interpretation; • pre-contractual liability – penalties for bad faith, disclosure versus concealment; • validity – mistake, fraud, threats, unfair bargaining power; • adaptation and termination – effect of registration and approval rules; • mandatory rules – good faith and fair dealing, the public interest; and • direct application of constitutional law to contracts. The book’s special power lies in its extraordinarily thorough comparison of doctrines underlying specific provisions of such instruments as the Contract Law of the People’s Republic of China (CLC), the General Principles of the Civil Law of the People’s Republic of China (GPCL), the Principles of European Contract Law (PECL), and the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR), as well as analysis of judicial cases.
Download or read book The Choice of Law Contract written by Maria Hook and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-22 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a contractual framework for the regulation of party autonomy in choice of law. The party autonomy rule is the cornerstone of any modern system of choice of law; embodying as it does the freedom enjoyed by parties to a cross-border legal relationship to agree on the law applicable to it. However, as this study shows, the rule has a major shortcoming because it fails to give due regard to the contractual function of the choice of law agreement. The study examines the existing law on choice of law agreements, by reference to the law of both common and civil law jurisdictions and international instruments. Moreover, it suggests a new coherent approach to party autonomy that integrates both the law of contract and choice of law. This important new study should be read with interest by private international law scholars.
Download or read book Mandatory Rules and Other Party Autonomy Limitations in International Contractual Obligations written by Seyed Nasrollah Ebrahimi and published by Athena PressPub Company. This book was released on 2004-10 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern views of freedom of contract recognise that the principle of party autonomy has a number of restrictions, such as the doctrines of public policy [ordre public], of good faith [bona fides], evasion of law [fraude a la loi], and mandatory rules [with various interchangeable expressions such as lois de police, lois d'application immediate, lois d'application imperative, loi d'application necessaire, lois d'application directe]. The concept of mandatory rules is regarded as one of the key concepts in post-war private international law, existing in various legal systems, and also in some regional and international conventions, thus influencing the functioning of conflict of laws rules. It has become in recent years one of the most debated topics, particularly in continental private international law, with no agreed criteria which identify with any precision the rules which qualify for such categorisation. Dr Ebrahimi's new work is a comprehensive study of the concept, function and application of mandatory rules in international contracts and their relationship to other institutions restricting the party autonomy and a free choice of law, in the light particularly of the Rome Convention on the Law Applicable on Contractual Obligations, 1980. Dr Ebrahimi, the associate professor of international law, in Tehran Azad University and also director of Legal & Contractual affairs of PEDEC/NIOC, is aiming at the citizens of a shrinking world, where trans-national contracts are born in the blink of an eye. But in the eyes of whose law are they enforceable? Which set of mandatory rules must be totally excluded? Does the 'unruly horse' of public policy have a role to play? Is the very concept of 'mandatory rules' a moribund one? And what are the faults of article 7(1)- the 'difficult donkey' of the 1980 Rome Convention? The achievement of this detailed and scholarly work is to explain the conflicting/overlapping terminologies clearly, and use statutes, case law and academic sources to clarify points of difficulty arising from the articles of the Convention, without, of course, losing sight of its stated function, namely to unify the business world rather than fragment it. This scholarly work and valuable guide is a welcome addition to textbooks in the fields of private international law, conflict of laws, international commercial and trade law, consumer and employment protection laws; and a commentary to fully understand the regional and international conventions on private international law, particularly the Hague Conventions on the Law Applicable to contracts for International Sale of Goods 1955 and 1986, the Mexico City Convention, 1994, and the Rome Convention on the Law Applicable to Contractual Obligations, 1980, and also a useful pointer to shape international contracts to come.

Download or read book Rome Regulations written by Gralf-Peter Calliess and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2020-08-10 with total page 980 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The law applicable to contractual and non-contractual obligations in cross-border civil and commercial matters in the European Union (EU) is the remit of the so-called Rome I and II Regulations that entered into force in 2009, supplemented by the Rome III Regulation of 2012 dealing specifically with divorce and legal separation. This article-by-article commentary – now updated to its third edition – has become a cornerstone resource in handling European cases involving conflict of laws. The occasion for publishing a third edition is that several landmark judgments on the conflict of laws have been recently rendered both by the Court of Justice of the EU and by domestic courts. Moreover, with Brexit, one of the largest European states will enter into a new form of relationship with the EU, which will specifically impact the conflict of laws. The effects of these major developments are reflected throughout the new edition’s extensively revised article-by-article commentary. The commentary, authored by leading scholars of conflict of laws and drawing on a wide spectrum of case law and scholarship, highlights, among much else, such long-term implications of the Rome Regulations as the following: principles of interpretation; limiting the effects of forum shopping; limiting the trade-restricting effects of the fragmentation of national private laws; ensuring the free movement of persons; enhancement of legal certainty and predictability; and potential solutions for an agreement-based Brexit. It provides black letter law as represented by the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the EU and the Member State courts, as well as the latest academic opinion. In the current era of globalization, where communication, transaction, and migration across borders have transformed from exceptional to omnipresent phenomena, the pressing question is no longer if the state has to grant access to justice in international situations but how that right can be implemented effectively. To this end, renowned conflict of laws scholars analyse every provision of the Regulations in a systematic and thorough manner, making them accessible to a broad international legal audience. The result is an indispensable companion for academics, judges, lawyers, and legal professionals in their day-to-day work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contracts are relevant, frequently central, for a significant number of investment disputes. Yet, the way tribunals ascertain their content remains largely underexplored. How do tribunals interpret contracts in investment treaty arbitration? How should they interpret contracts? Does national law have any role to play? Contract Interpretation in Investment Treaty Arbitration: A Theory of the Incidental Issue addresses these questions. The monograph offers a valuable insight into the practice and theory of contract interpretation in investment treaty arbitration. By proposing a theoretical frame for seamless integration of contract interpretation into the overall structure of decision-making, the book contributes to predictability, coherence, sufficiency and correctness of the tribunals’ interpretative practices in investment treaty arbitration.
