Stipulations In A Muslim Marriage Contract With Special Reference To Talq Al-Tafwid Provisions In Paksitan, Muhammad Munir Dr.
Stipulations In A Muslim Marriage Contract With Special Reference To Talq Al-Tafwid Provisions In Paksitan, Muhammad Munir Dr.
Dr. Muhammad Munir
This work elaborates the over-technical topic of stipulations in a Muslim marriage contract; explains the various types of stipulations benefiting women and men; explains how and to what extent classical Islamic law is incorporated into statutes of many Muslim states; describes case law of Indo-Pak subcontinent on stipulations based on the doctrine of stare decisis; surveys talaq al-tafwid in Pakistan to ascertain the extent of its practical application by the masses; and explore the role of nikah registrars, who are authorized by the government of Pakistan to solemnize nikah (marriage contract) throughout the country.
The Judicial System Of The East India Company: Precursor To The Present Pakistani Legal System, Muhammad Munir Dr.
The Judicial System Of The East India Company: Precursor To The Present Pakistani Legal System, Muhammad Munir Dr.
Dr. Muhammad Munir
The work discusses how the British East India Company came to the subcontinent for the purpose of trade in 1604 and how it slowly and gradually started interfering in the local justice system by acquiring revenue collection of 38 villages in 1717 near Calcutta. In 1765 the Company was granted revenue collection as well as customs of three provinces. The Company also acquired the administration of justice in the areas under its control and the role of Muslim qadis and judges was over. Company’s officials, who were traders rather than trained judges, were running the court system and the Privy …

Transgender Theory: Reprogramming Our Automated Settings, Marybeth Herald
Transgender Theory: Reprogramming Our Automated Settings, Marybeth Herald
Marybeth Herald
Over the course of the last few decades, both law and society have struggled to deprogram unhelpful and downright destructive gender stereotypes that are ubiquitous in our everyday existence. It has not been an easy task, nor entirely successful on either the legal or cultural front. Laws that prohibit gender discrimination, such as Title VII, have helped end overt discrimination. The next phase involves the challenging problem of unconscious bias, which often effectively keeps us treading the same mental paths while bypassing any roads not traveled.
It is not surprising then that when the validity of even the basic categories …

Australia: Revised Guidance Note On Lock-Up Devices, Mark Mcnamara, Danielle Ireland-Piper
Danielle Ireland-Piper
The Takeovers Panel in Australia has issued a final version of Guidance Note 7 on lock-up devices, says Baker & McKenzie. Essentially, GN7 states that while lock-up devices are not inappropriate per se, the panel is concerned to ensure that transactions take place in an efficient, competitive and informed market.

International Decisions: Occidental Exploration And Production Company V. The Republic Of Ecuador, Susan Franck
International Decisions: Occidental Exploration And Production Company V. The Republic Of Ecuador, Susan Franck
Susan D. Franck
Occidental v. Ecuador is the first claim under a bilateral investment treaty claim involving tax issues. This case comment analyzes the tribunal's award and offers a critique of both the analysis and the conclusion. This comment suggests that the tribunal may have gone further than necessary in its analysis of arbitrary measures impairing investment, failed to engage in a sector-by-sector analysis of national treatment, and compressed the analysis of separate rights into one broad test for evaluating fair and equitable treatment. The comment concludes that Occidental may best be understood as confined to its unique facts lest there be larger …

The Nature And Enforcement Of Investor Rights Under Investment Treaties: Do Investment Treaties Have A Bright Future?, Susan Franck
The Nature And Enforcement Of Investor Rights Under Investment Treaties: Do Investment Treaties Have A Bright Future?, Susan Franck
Susan D. Franck
The number of bilateral and multilateral investment treaties has surged in the past decade. Investors are actively using these treaties to bring claims against sovereign states, and many of these tribunals have come to conflicting - if not diametrically opposed - results on the meaning of substantive treaty rights. This article evaluates the positive and negative attributes of such inconsistencies and the impact upon the rule of law. The article recommends building safeguards into the current dispute resolution process to minimize the negative impact of inconsistency and maximize its positive attributes.
Regional Economic Arrangements And The Rule Of Law In The Americas: The Human Rights Face Of Free Trade Agreements, Stephen Powell
Regional Economic Arrangements And The Rule Of Law In The Americas: The Human Rights Face Of Free Trade Agreements, Stephen Powell
Stephen Joseph Powell
In past studies, we explored the more visible and controversial linkages between international trade law and non-trade issues that span a broad range of vital interests we may collectively describe as human rights law. We have addressed the widespread criticism that international trade rules are insensitive to basic human rights and that globalization has done little with its enormous power to preserve exhaustible natural resources and otherwise promote sustainable development, to alleviate the gap between rich and poor, to encourage states to grant their citizens basic human rights contained in U.N. treaties, to resolve the often conflicting policies underlying essential …

Rättsliga Ramar För Gränsöverskridande Samarbete. Förvaltningsmyndigheters Internationella Avtalsförhållanden. [Legal Frameworks For Cross-Border Co-Operation: International Agreements Between Administrative Authorities], Vilhelm Persson
Vilhelm Persson
When Swedish public bodies have reasons to contact and co-operate with foreign public bodies, this may give rise to legally complex situations. There are reasons to endeavour to seek solutions adapted to the needs of each individual case. This thesis investigates legal frameworks for such solutions. The investigation in particular deals with binding agreements concluded by Swedish public authorities and municipalities with corresponding types of foreign public bodies. By the conclusion of such agreements more than one legal system may be involved. This thesis deals with Swedish national law and public international law. A question of central concern for this …
