Download or read book Globalisation Human Rights and Labour Law in Pacific Asia written by Anthony Woodiwiss and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-04-30 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthony Woodiwiss's pathbreaking book was the first substantive contribution to a sociology of human rights. In it, he takes up the question of whether so-called Asian values are compatible with human rights discourse and argues against human rights issues being the major obstacle to East-West co-operation. Dr Woodiwiss's sociological and post-structuralist approach to the concept of rights, and his incorporation of the transnational dimension into sociological theory, enable him to demonstrate how the global human rights regime can accommodate Asian patriarchalism, while Pacific Asia is itself adapting by means of what he calls 'enforceable benevolence'. His studies of Hong Kong, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore highlight similarities between Pacific-Asian and Western societies and offer a positive view of the social forces obtaining in these territories.

Download or read book Hong Kong Legal Principles written by Stephen D. Mau and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there are publications on specific legal fields, no recent book includes several core legal subjects presented in a general manner. Resulting from this need for an updated work on the general principles of law in Hong Kong for use by non-law students and nonlegal professionals, the first edition of this book was published in 2006. After three printings, the latest in 2010, a new edition became necessary to reflect accurately the changes in the law since the first publication. Intended as a practical general guide to the more common legal principles as they relate to Hong Kong -- contract, tort, employment, and property -- the second edition should assist the reader in understanding and anticipating legal issues that might arise in commercial or daily personal situations. Therefore the second edition of this book has been updated to reflect recent court decisions and revisions to Hong Kong ordinances and has been reorganized to render the book more user friendly.
Download or read book Asia Pacific Trusts Law Volume 2 written by Ying Khai Liew and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together leading legal scholars and practitioners from across the Asia-Pacific region to probe the ways in which trusts law has been adapted by various jurisdictions, and to analyse their causes and effects. The contributions discuss how the trust structure, with its inherent malleability, has been adapted to meet a diverse set of local needs, including social, religious, economic, commercial, or even historical needs. But in most instances, those needs - and the ways in which trusts law has been adapted to meet them - are not unique to a single jurisdiction: they often (coincidentally or otherwise) find much in common with others. By making its readers aware of the commonality of needs in Asia- Pacific, this book also aims to encourage coordination and cooperation in utilising trusts law to address shared concerns across the region.

Town Planning in Hong Kong: A Review of Planning Appeals is a thorough analysis of 50 unreported cases of the Town Planning Appeal Board on appeals against the Town Planning Board decisions concerning planning applications and review.

It also provides a comparative study of all the cases from the perspective of town planning and economics. This book will be of great value to developers, planners, lawyers and professionals who work in the development and conservation of lands in Hong Kong.
Download or read book Brown Asian Economic and Legal D written by Robert Brown and published by Springer. This book was released on 1998-05-18 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An efficient legal system has a direct impact on economic development. A legal system that clearly establishes easily-ascertainable, evenly-applied rules reduces the uncertainty of doing business. This in turn reduces associated costs, enabling a greater number of transactions. Asian Economic and Legal Development: Uncertainty, Risk, and Legal Efficiency applies this theory to several Asian nations that have long been leaders in economic development; Japan, Korea, People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Thailand. The theoretical model effectively explains both their successful growth and their recent collapse. This book describes economic development from a variety of disciplines; history, jurisprudence, economics, anthropology, economic history, and economic development. The authors find unifying theme to development –the efficiency of the legal system and its ability to reduce business and political certainty as an influential factor. the authors have both writing and teaching experience as well as extensive backgrounds as practitioners in private firms and as counsel for corporations. Businesspeople, government leaders, academics, and students will find this book a unique and valuable mechanism for understanding economic growth in Asia and its current problems.
Download or read book Finding Freezing and Attaching Assets written by Jacob C. Jørgensen and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2016-03-21 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of the rise in cross-border disputes – and due to the ease with which assets can be moved around the world with the help of online banking and fiduciary service providers – parties are increasingly finding themselves suing or being sued outside their home jurisdictions. This book is about how to find out whether a defendant has any assets before initiating costly litigation, arbitration, or insolvency proceedings, and if so how to freeze such assets with the aim of eventually enforcing a judgment or award. Nineteen country chapters by lawyers with decades of hands-on experience in helping their clients find, freeze, and attach defendants’ assets provide practical guidance to legal professionals representing parties in cross-border commercial lawsuits, international arbitration proceedings, simple debt collection matters, enforcement proceedings, divorce proceedings, inheritance matters, and other legal matters where the assets in dispute are thought to be located abroad. Each contribution offers an overview of the pre-trial asset tracing techniques and rules regulating freezing orders and enforcement methods in the jurisdiction covered, describing not just what the law says but how the law actually works. The jurisdictions covered include several of the offshore havens that are frequently used to hide assets in. The authors attend to such issues and topics as the following: • investigating whether a potential counterparty owns vessels, aircrafts, motor vehicles, real estate, or intellectual property rights; • locating offshore trusts; • discovering assets transferred to a family member or corporate entity; • exposing sham investments designed to generate a (fictitious) loss of assets; and • invoking remedies available to a party facing asset shielding manoeuvres. This book will quickly become an indispensable tool for international litigators, arbitration lawyers, and lawyers involved in cross-border insolvency and debt recovery proceedings, as well as for academics and scholars involved in legal research projects or law reform programs. Renowned litigator Robert Shapiro says in his Foreword: 'The authors provide the reader with practical guidance into the complex area of cross-border asset tracing and do so in a very down-to-earth way, without the academic hyperbole that generally burdens modern legal textbooks.'
