Download or read book European Contract Law written by Hector L. MacQueen and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume sets out initially to test the claim that, as combinations of Civil and Common Law influences, the mixed systems of contract law in Scotland and South Africa have anticipated the content of the Principles of European Contract Law (PECL) concluded and published in 2003 by the unofficial Commission on European Contract Law. The studies go much further, however. Current official moves towards a European contract law within the European Union lend the critiques of PECL offered in this volume an especial urgency and significance. A European contract law is nearer to reality than ever before, and mere policy critiques of that possibility are no longer enough. Technical and substantive assessments of PECL are also essential. This book provides just such assessments from the perspective of Scots and South African contract lawyers, and is offered to the European debate without prejudice as to the deeper policy questions. At the same time it may help to inform Scots and South African lawyers about the substance of international developments in the field, and suggest ways in which their still vigorous and vital national laws may continue to be developed to remain in step with the needs of the present day.

Download or read book Review of Contract Law written by Scotland: Scottish Law Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-04-25 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, further to a Discussion Paper on Formation of Contract published in March 2012 (ISBN 9780108882630) undertaken as part of the Eighth Programme of Law Reform, looks at the specific difficulties of "execution in counterpart". The phrase describes the process by which parties to a formal document intended to have effect (e.g. as a contract) may be able to apply their respective signatures to it (execution) to make it binding without having to meet to do so or, indeed, having all to sign the same physical copy of the document. The main recommendations are: a document may be validly executed under Scots law by parties subscribing a counterpart of the document remotely from each other and then each delivering their subscribed counterpart to the other parties; delivery may be to a person nominated for the purpose rather than to the other parties; delivery of a traditional document may be effected by electronic means; a document takes effect either when each and every party has subscribed and delivered its counterpart, or at such later date as parties may agree; where all parties sign their counterpart in self-proving form, the document as a whole is self-proving; if desired, a "registration copy" of a document may be compiled by making up a single version which includes the signing pages from each of the counterparts; the reforms will not affect any document executed before they come into statutory force

This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Robert Rennie has been one of the most influential voices in Scots private law over the past thirty years. Highly respected as both an academic and a practitioner, his contribution to the development of property law and practice has been substantial and unique. This volume celebrates his retirement from the Chair of Conveyancing at the University of Glasgow in 2014 with a selection of essays written by his peers and colleagues from the judiciary, academia and legal practice. Each chapter covers a topic of particular interest to Professor Rennie during his career, from the historical development of property law rules through to the latest developments in conveyancing practice and the evolution of the rules of professional negligence. Although primarily Scottish in focus, the contributions will have much of interest to lawyers in any jurisdiction struggling with similar practical problems, particularly those with similar legal roots including the Netherlands and South Africa. As a whole, the collection is highly recommended to students, practitioners and academics.
