Download or read book Conservation Covenants written by Great Britain. Law Commission and published by Stationery Office/Tso. This book was released on 2014 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report, the Law Commission make recommendations for the introduction of a new statutory scheme of conservation covenants in England and Wales. The recommendations to introduce such a scheme would create a new legal tool, enabling landowners to protect land in order to conserve and restore our natural and built environment. Conservation covenants would allow landowners voluntarily to create binding obligations on their own land to meet a conservation objective, such as preserving woodland, cultivating a particular species of plant or protecting a habitat for an animal, or farming land in a certain way. The proposed statutory scheme would give individual landowners the opportunity, using private agreements, to contribute to conservation efforts being made across England and Wales. The scheme will create a versatile, simple and cost-effective legal tool capable of: unlocking currently missed conservation opportunities by overcoming the legal difficulties faced when creating binding obligations; facilitating better ways to deliver existing conservation objectives; and providing assurance of long-term conservation benefits. The report includes a draft Conservation Covenants Bill, which would introduce the conservation covenant scheme into the law of England and Wales.

Download or read book Black Morocco written by Chouki El Hamel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Morocco: A History of Slavery, Race, and Islam chronicles the experiences, identity and achievements of enslaved black people in Morocco from the sixteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century. Chouki El Hamel argues that we cannot rely solely on Islamic ideology as the key to explain social relations and particularly the history of black slavery in the Muslim world, for this viewpoint yields an inaccurate historical record of the people, institutions and social practices of slavery in Northwest Africa. El Hamel focuses on black Moroccans' collective experience beginning with their enslavement to serve as the loyal army of the Sultan Isma'il. By the time the Sultan died in 1727, they had become a political force, making and unmaking rulers well into the nineteenth century. The emphasis on the political history of the black army is augmented by a close examination of the continuity of black Moroccan identity through the musical and cultural practices of the Gnawa.

Download or read book Critical Studies in Private Law written by Thomas Wilhelmsson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1992-03-31 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical Studies in Private Law discusses the prerequisites and possibilities for an alternative or critical legal dogmatics. The starting point of the analysis is the recognition of contradictions within the legal order. In this respect the theory may use the experience of both American Critical Legal Studies and the German attempts to formulate a legal theory for the social state. The key for understanding how the contradictory concrete legal material may produce varying results on the level of legal decisions is the systematization, the general principles of the law. The analysis does not, however, stop at this theoretical level. The methodology is tested through a discussion of some features of modern private law. Some key elements of contract law, including consumer law, of the Welfare State are singled out. The work focuses on the person-orientation of modern law as a challenge to the traditional abstract legal form. The aim is to explore the limits for a contract law radically oriented towards the personal social and economic needs of the parties. This endeavour involves the creation of new legal concepts such as social force majeure.

Download or read book Cases and Materials on EU Private International Law written by Stefania Bariatti and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04-13 with total page 1370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Amsterdam Treaty of 1997 empowered the EC to adopt rules in the field of conflicts of laws, legal instruments have been adopted that provide common rules on issues that touch upon the day-to-day life of European citizens. There are now instruments covering jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters, family matters and maintenance obligations, and the law applicable to contractual and non-contractual obligations, legal separations and divorces. There is also legislation establishing swift procedures for recovering claims abroad, ie the European Enforcement Order, the European Order for Payment Procedure and the European Small Claims Procedure, and legislation regulating cross-border insolvency proceedings and judicial assistance in the field of service of documents, taking of evidence and access to justice. This long list of EU legislation is not exhaustive of EU conflicts of laws rules: numerous further provisions are scattered among other EU legislation, eg directives on consumer, labour and insurance contracts; company law; IP rights; securities; privacy; and so on. Besides this the European Court of Justice has issued many judgments addressing relevant aspects of the conflict of laws found in the acquis communautaire in this field. This book, which assembles all the relevant EU legislation and ECJ decisions in one place, provides a guide to the maze of legal instruments now in place, supplemented by brief commentaries identifying the leading principles and anticipating future developments. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's International Arbitration online service.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gounod was the leading opera composer in France in the mid-nineteenth century, and his best-known operas, including Faust and Romeo and Juliette, date from that time. Despite the overwhelming success of Faust and Gounod's immense influence on all French composers of the later nineteenth century, he has been virtually ignored by scholars until now. Huebner here charts the composer's career and deals with each of the major operas, discussing not only the music but also the critical reception and source material. He considers aspects of the composer's musical style and outlines his influence on subsequent generations of composers.

Download or read book La faute de gestion en droit des soci t s written by Serge Hadji-Artinian and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En apparence, la faute de gestion du dirigeant de société recouvre une mosaïque de comportements et de situations sans liens véritables. Elle est une faute d'aventurisme, de négligence, et de violation de dispositions légales. Mais, en réalité, cette faute singulière se fédère au regard de l'intérêt social. Ce critère unifie la notion de faute de gestion. Il révèle des actes et des attitudes de gestion de l'organe de direction qui ne lui sont pas conformes. La faute de gestion subit un double traitement juridique : • D'une part, pour l'anticiper, une prévention intervient indirectement en amont du processus décisionnel. Ainsi, des instruments internes aux organes d'administration instaurent un test d'homologation a priori des actes de gestion au regard de l'intérêt social. Les obligations de comportements à la charge des dirigeants sociaux participent également à cette recherche, tout comme le rééquilibrage des pouvoirs au sein des entreprises, et l'application de contre-pouvoirs effectifs ou nouveaux. Les mécanismes de prévention externe se fondent sur l'encadrement contractuel du processus décisionnel des managers, le contrôle des associés, et de professionnels indépendants. • D'autre part, la faute de gestion consommée est directement sanctionnée. Dans les sociétés viables, le dirigeant responsable a l'obligation de réparer le dommage pécuniairement notamment sur le fondement des articles L. 223-22 et L. 225-2 51 du nouveau Code de commerce (anciens articles 52 et 244 de loi du 24 juillet 1966 sur les sociétés commerciales). Dans les personnes morales soumises à une procédure collective, le régime de la sanction pécuniaire de l'action en comblement de passif, s'accompagne pour les fautes de gestion les plus graves, de sanctions personnelles comme la procédure d'extension en redressement judiciaire au dirigeant, ou la faillite personnelle et les interdictions diverses dont les régimes juridiques sont principalement disposés aux articles L. 624-3 et L. 624-5 et suivants du nouveau Code de commerce (anciens articles 180 et 182 et suivants de la loi du 25 janvier 1985 sur le redressement et la liquidation judiciaires).

Download or read book Actualit s en droit des soci t s written by Pierre Nicaise and published by Éditions Larcier. This book was released on 2007-05-24 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le droit des sociétés a connu de nombreuses mutations ou modifications ces dernières années. Depuis l’adoption du Code des sociétés, se sont enchaînées la loi sur le Corporate Governance, les innombrables lois-programmes, la suppression des titres au porteur, et tout dernièrement la réforme de la liquidation des sociétés commerciales. Le notariat belge se positionne aux avant-postes de cette matière, de manière à conserver la plus-value qu’il y apporte, et à ne pas perdre, à l’instar de son cousin français, cette compétence. Sous l’impulsion du président de la Fédération Royale du Notariat Belge, par ailleurs président également du présent colloque, les notaires peuvent aujourd’hui offrir au public la constitution d’une société en trois jours au plus. Ce défi technique est rendu possible, d’une part grâce à la centralisation des numéros d’entreprises et la collaboration avec les guichets d’entreprises, et d’autre part grâce au dépôt électronique des statuts de sociétés pour publication au Moniteur belge. Le présent ouvrage contient les actes de l’après-midi d’étude consacrée à l’actualité en droit des sociétés, tenue à Louvain-la-Neuve, le 5 octobre 2006, à l’initiative de l’Association des Licenciés en Notariat. Chaque contribution, réalisée par un acteur direct et spécialiste de la matière abordée, se veut résolument axée sur la pratique notariale, et est fréquemment agrémentée de modèles d’actes.
