No two elements are more important to the establishment of a civilized and open society than society’s respect for individual human rights and respect for and submission to the rule of law. These two elements, however, are not always compatible. When society adopts laws that undermine the basic rights of a class of citizens, a tension is created between an individual’s responsibility to respect society’s laws, and that same individual’s right to be protected and treated equitably by his or her society. This scenario occurs when society adopts laws, which selectively provide under-protection to a class of citizens because of …

En este ensayo, escrito originalmente para un concurso convocado por la Dirección de Investigación de la PUCP (2001), se propone, a la luz de la codificación civil peruana, una revaloración del papel de la voluntad en la actividad negocial de los particulares; papel que, por décadas, ha sido cuestionado, relativizado y negado por las llamadas teorías "objetivas" (declaracionismo, normativismo, preceptivismo) importadas del derecho italiano y tan ampliamente cuanto inconscientemente difundidas en la bibliografía peruana.

Acquisition Of Living Things By Specification, Ernest Metzger

Ownership of the product of living things, such as human tissue or cultures developed from human cells, is difficult for the law to determine. Civilian jurisdictions, with their legal heritage grounded in Roman law, offer one solution. Civilian jurisdictions would resolve such cases under the rules of specification. A recent case from the Outer House of the Scottish Court of Session (Kinloch Damph Ltd v Nordvik Salmon Farms Ltd) addresses the problem. The case was properly decided, though the grounds of the decision could be improved. Specifically, on civil law principles, civilian courts ought to award ownership of a living …

Roman Judges, Case Law, And Principles Of Procedure, Ernest Metzger
Ernest Metzger
Roman law has been admired for a long time. Its admirers, in their enthusiasm, have sometimes borrowed ideas from their own time and attributed them to the Romans, thereby filling some gap or fixing some anomaly. Roman private law is a well known victim of this. Roman civil procedure has been a victim as well, and the way Roman judges are treated in the older literature provides an example. For a long time it has been accepted, and rightly so, that the decision of a Roman judge did not make law. But the related, empirical question, whether Roman judges ever …
