Download or read book Principles of French Law written by John Bell and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-03-27 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Principles of French Law offers a comprehensive introduction to French law and the French legal system in terms which a common lawyer can understand. The authors give an explanation of the institutions, rules and techniques that characterize the major branches of French law. The chapters provide the reader with a clear sense of the questions that French lawyers see as important and how they would answer them. In the ten years since the publication of the first edition, French law has changed in significant ways. European Union law and the European Convention on Human Rights have had a significant impact, especially on procedural law and family law. There has been a new Commercial Code, major legislation on divorce, succession and criminal law, as well as significant developments in the Constitution. In addition, there have been considerable developments in the case-law and a much discussed proposal for reform of major areas of the law of obligations. The chapters present not only the rules of law, but, where appropriate, the principles and values underlying the system. Considerable use is made of juristic literature and of examples from French case law. The book is designed for students studying French law at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, and as preliminary reading for students about to study in France. It will also serve as an initial point of reference for scholars embarking on a study of French law.

Download or read book Civil Liability in Europe for Terrorism Related Risk written by Lucas Bergkamp and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-12 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today terrorism has become a world-wide phenomenon which does not stop at the European borders. Following the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Centre and terrorist attacks in Paris, Madrid and London, concerns have arisen in Europe about potential liability exposure for terrorism-related damage. This book tackles the problem of civil liability for damage caused by terrorist acts from several angles. The authors expertly deliver a comprehensive analysis of terrorism-related risk under international and EU law, and the national tort law systems of seven representative EU Member States. They also provide a comparison of the situation in Europe to the liability environment in the United States. Risk mitigation strategies are considered and critically assessed, as are alternative systems for redressing terrorism-related risks. The book concludes with a reflection on the analysis and presents possible strategies for future regulation by the European lawmakers.

Download or read book Fundamentals of European Civil Law written by M. Vranken and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book outlines the fundamentals of European civil law for readers more familiar with common law jurisdictions such as Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US.This fully revised and updated second edition retains the successful structure of the first. The four chapters in Part A provide the general framework, covering the concept and method of comparative law, historical foundations, the concept of a civil code and codification, and the role of legislature and the judiciary. More specific and practical material is provided in Part B, with chapters on the law of contract, the law of tort, labour law, commercial law and court procedure. Part C looks to the future, examining differences between civil law and common law and the impact of the European Union.The focus throughout is on private law, particularly the civil laws of France and Germany, except where European Community law has made inroads into the (private) civil law. Each chapter thus incorporates the relevant materials on European Community law.

This book was released on 1998-06-10 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liability law is expanding in many areas and many countries. This development is potentially worrisome. It may affect the availability of useful goods and services and has a negative impact on insurability. This calls for research into techniques to keep liability (law) within reasonable and sustainable limits. This book sheds light on the techniques used in the respective countries, highlighted on the basis of eight cases
Download or read book Essential Cases on Misconduct written by Benedict Winiger and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 1316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The various national European legal systems offer a broad range of responses to the question of what can be regarded as wrongful behaviour or fault. The present work systematically examines these two important prerequisites for tortious liability under the combined heading of ‘misconduct’. Unlike current textbooks, national casebooks and monographs, it builds on the experiences gathered in the national legal systems over the past decades and thereby fills a major gap which still exists today. It thus does what the previous volumes in the ‘Digest of European Tort Law’ series did for other key elements of tort law, namely natural causation and damage. Once again, the publication contains a selection of the most important cases from 28 states across Europe as well as cases handed down by European Union courts; it also highlights cases from earlier periods of legal history. For each case, the facts and the relevant court decision are presented and these are then accompanied by an analytical commentary. In addition, the editors provide comparative analyses of the cases reported and a special report is dedicated to how key decisions would be resolved under model European rules on tort law. The editors believe that the material gathered here may provide guidance for an organic convergence of the national legal systems in Europe. It constitutes the basis of an acquis commun that is infinitely richer (though also much more complex) than the rather bland and abstract concepts contained in national codifications, European legislation and modern model rules.
Download or read book Information requirements and formation of contract in the Acquis communautaire written by Reiner Schulze and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2003 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English summary: The essays collected here investigate the extent to which existing EC private law, the 'Acquis Communautaire', outlines general guidelines for the future development of European contract law. The work documents the results of new research carried out by the Acquis Group. The Acquis Communautaire is analyzed with the aim of revealing common principles as a basis for further harmonization of European contract law. Thus the essays give preliminary answers to the Action Plan of the European Commission, dating from February 2003, which calls for a 'more coherent European contract law'. German description: Dieser Band erhalt besondere Aktualitat durch den im Februar 2003 von der Europaischen Kommission vorgelegten Aktionsplan Ein koharenteres europaisches Vertragsrecht. Vor diesem Hintergrund gehen die Autoren der englischen und deutschen Beitrage der Frage nach, inwieweit aus dem bestehenden Gemeinschaftsrecht, dem sog. Acquis communautaire, verallgemeinerbare Leitlinien fur die kunftige Entwicklung des europaischen Privatrechts gewonnen werden konnen. Der Band beruht auf den Ergebnissen einer Tagung, die im Januar 2003 bei der Europaischen Rechtsakademie Trier in Kooperation mit der kurzlich gegrundeten Acquis-Group stattgefunden hat. Mit Beitragen von: Reiner Schulze, Dieter Kraus, Judith Rochfeld, Dimitri Houtcieff, Hans Schulte-Nolke, Thomas Pfeiffer, Silvia Ferreri, Peter Bydlinski, Paulo Mota Pinto, Martin Ebers, Sjef van Erp, Hans Christoph Grigoleit, Matthias E.

Download or read book Launching Space Objects Issues of Liability and Future Prospects written by Valérie Kayser and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-10-31 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Launch activities performed by private entities deal with a complex legal environment. The Space Treaties provide a general liability framework. Launch participants are subject to regulatory or institutional control, and to domestic liability laws. Specific contractual practice has developed due to insurance limitations, the inter-participants' waivers of liability and claims. This book synthesizes information on the norms of play, to allow the grasp of their relative weight and interactions in the assessment of liability risk for launch activities. It reveals a legal framework presently lacking sufficient predictability for an efficient liability risk management: the waivers of liability suffer weaknesses as do all such clauses, and lack uniformity and reliability; and the Space Treaties contain ambiguous terms preventing predictable determination of the States responsible for authorizing and supervising launch activities and for damage compensation, and do not reflect the liability of launch operators. This book offers suggestions of new approaches for: harmonizing waivers of liability to improve their consistency, validity and flow-down; and improving the Space Treaties for their implementation to non-governmental launch activities. In the launch community, the need for lawmaking is less compelling than in fields such as aviation. Nevertheless, adjustments to the present framework are proposed through model clauses and an international instrument, for further thinking and contribution by those sharing the opinion that creative lawmaking is needed now to prepare for tomorrow's endeavors.
