Download or read book The Carriage of Goods in Swiss Law written by Vesna Polić Foglar and published by Stämpfli Verlag. This book was released on 2022-08-19 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Swiss legal regime differs considerably from the regimes of its neighbouring countries. Swiss law on the carriage of goods is based on the provisions of the Code of Obligations from the early 20th century. Some other laws, various ordinances and international conventions that govern different modes of transportation also apply. All this makes this field of law complex – not only for non-Swiss professionals. This book gives a comprehensive overview of the contract of carriage and the carriers' and freight forwarders' liability, the insurance of goods and of liability, the jurisdiction of Swiss courts and the possibilities of recourse actions. The Carriage of Goods in Swiss Law provides valuable knowledge to properly handle transport business, claims and insurance. It offers reflections on the shortcomings and the development of Swiss laws and regulations. Written for practitioners and lawyers in the country and abroad, the book can serve to all those whose claims may be decided before a Swiss court. Vesna Polić Foglar is an of-counsel in Zurich with over 20 years of experience. She specialises in Swiss transport law, the international carriage of goods, transport insurance and in dealing with transport claims.

Download or read book Blockchain and Private International Law written by Andrea Bonomi and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-11-13 with total page 807 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The open access publication of this book has been published with the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation. Blockchain is the first global mechanism for the transfer and storage of value. Despite being conceived as an alternative to state and law, the technology and its use cases raise many legal questions, most notably, regarding jurisdiction and applicable law with respect to transactions and assets recorded on the blockchain. The issue is complex given the decentralised nature of the network. In this volume, academics and practitioners from various countries try to provide detailed answers to these questions as they relate to crypto-assets, cryptocurrencies, crypto derivatives, stablecoins, Central Bank Digital Currencies and Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs), as well as specific transactions and issues, such as property rights, secured transactions, smart contracts and bankruptcy. With specific chapters on national approaches (Germany, Japan, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, United States), the volume explores the need and possibility for legal harmonisation of these issues through global fora, such as the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) UNIDROIT.

Book excerpt: What makes the relationship between Switzerland and the EU so challenging? For both parties, mutual relations are of crucial importance, not least economically. As a result of the Swiss voters’ rejection of the European Economic Area 30 years ago, there is at present a large number of agreements that provide for Switzerland's partial participation in the EU's internal market as well as other matters. At the same time, there has now for more than a decade been an increasing degree of institutional and legal uncertainty. The present volume offers an inventory of different sides of this special relationship, which is interesting also in a comparative context.

Book excerpt: Industrial development is essential to improvement of the standard of living in all coun tries.

Download or read book Multimodal Transport Law written by Marian Hoeks and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We only have to look around us on the road while we travel to work or home, or to use our eyes at a railway station to know that the transport of goods takes up a lot of the room our modern day infrastructures provide. Sometimes perhaps a little too much; nowadays congestion seems to be the rule rather than the exception. This is an uncomfortable side effect of the explosive growth freight transport has experienced the last few decades1. Modern day transport offers a considerable array of possibilities; possibilities that are for the most part taken for granted by the general public that enjoys their benefits. The average European would not be surprised to learn that the fruit on offer in the local supermarket originates from another continent for instance. The idea that most of the things we use in our daily routine stem from a distant source, such as a cell phone from Japan, a trendy pair of designer jeans made in China or a glass of Australian wine, seems completely natural to us. Clearly the contemporary transport industry offers us a lot of benefits besides such discomforts as congestion and pollution. In earlier times, before machinery such as the steam engine had been invented it was hardly cost effective or even feasible when it came to perishables to carry goods halfway around the world if they were not at least valuable and extraordinary2. The limitations set on trade by the transport structures available did more however than simply curtail the range of affordable products on offer for the public. They also had a negative effect on the location of the industry, limited transport possibilities and forced production to take place near or in heavily populated areas to secure the necessary workforce and market possibilities. After all, industrial decentralisation is only feasible if there is an infrastructure capable of supporting a cost effective movement of goods and employees3 ...
