Il Regolamento Ce 593/2008 Sulla Legge Applicabile Alle Obbligazioni Contrattuali (“Roma I”) – Ovverosia Una Grande Occasione Perduta, Michael Joachim Bonell

Bocconi Legal Papers

Con l'approvazione del Regolamento 593/2008 nello stesso momento in cui, in Europa viene pubblicata la versione definitiva del DCFR, vera e propria codificazione del diritto europeo dei contratti e delle obbligazioni contrattuali ed extracontrattuali, e a livello mondiale UNCITRAL avalla formalmente i Principi UNIDROIT dei contratti commerciali internazionali; il legislatore comunitario è intervenuto con una presa di posizione di netta chiusura verso gli strumenti di soft law. Il Regolamento 593/2008 sulla legge applicabile alle obbligazioni contrattuali esclude infatti la facoltà delle parti di scegliere quale lex contractus principi e regole non statuali, compromettendo seriamente la diffusione di questi strumenti quanto …

L’Azione Di Riduzione Nei Confronti Del Donatario Che Non Sia Più In Possesso Del Bene, Federico Mottola Lucano

Bocconi Legal Papers

Nel vigente codice civile è possibile riscontrare la presenza di un impianto di norme imperative poste a tutela dei diritti successori dei legittimarii. A tali soggetti l’ordinamento riconosce il diritto, sussistendone i presupposti, di agire nei confronti dei beneficiari delle disposizioni lesive della quota ideale di patrimonio ereditario loro spettante per veder restituito nell’asse ereditario il bene la cui disposizione sia stata lesiva, ovvero l’imputazione del corrispondente valore.

Questa tutela, che viene genericamente definita "azione di riduzione", consta in realtà di tre autonome azioni: l’azione di riduzione in senso stretto, l’azione di restituzione nei confronti dei beneficiari delle disposizioni ridotte …

Labour Rights In A Globalised World: What Future? Higher Standards Or "Race To The Bottom"?, Francesco Montanaro, Luigi Testa

Bocconi Legal Papers

This paper tries to assess the impact of economic globalization on national labour law. The liberalization of movement of capitals, goods and services created a competition between developed and developing countries. Developed countries in order to not lose this new challenge started to modify their labour legislation, curtailing or erasing consolidated rights in the name of flexibility. Deregulation became the leit motiv of the last thirty years. In this scenario both the soft law and the conventions promoted and adopted by International Labour Organizations (ILO) seem to be ineffective, not enforceable. Nevertheless, a global governance and regulation of labour law …

The Criminalization Of Lying: Under What Circumstances, If Any, Should Lies Be Made Criminal?, Bryan H. Druzin

Bocconi Legal Papers

This paper argues that lying should be a crime. In doing so we propose the creation of a wholly new category of crime, which we term “egregious lying causing serious harm.” The paper has two broad objectives: the first is to make the case why such a crime should even exist, and the second is to flesh out how this crime might be constructed. The main contribution of the paper lies in the radical nature of its stated aim: the outright criminalization of certain kinds of lies. To our knowledge, such a proposal has not previously been made. The analysis …

Clarifying The View Of The Cathedral: The Four Dimensions Of The Framework And The Calabresi Theorem, Christopher M. Dunn

Bocconi Legal Papers

It is well-known that policymakers have two basic levers to influence behavior, the carrot and the stick, or incentives and penalties. What is not common knowledge, even among policymakers, is that there are two broader levers than incentives and penalties that can influence behavior. Guido Calabresi and Douglas Melamed, in their seminal framework of law, defined two distinct but interlocking levers, entitlements and rules, powerful tools for meeting objectives. An entitlement, as defined by the framework is broader than that used typically with relation to the partisan “entitlement programs” – it refers to any allocation. The rule is the protection …

World Law Vs Global Law: Legal Models For The World Economy. A Non-Western Approach To Law And Adr As A Resource For South-South, South-East Business Relations, Ignazio Castellucci

Bocconi Legal Papers

The following paper aims to foster the development and use of alternative legal models which can be employed in the modern world economy. The positive aspects, which indeed may prove very useful in transnational economic activities, of such alternative models will be revealed through the comparison of the globally widespread common law models with other legal models sprouting outside the western legal tradition.

The main focus of this paper is on those models which have developed from China?s relations with other developing countries, especially with African ones; however, many discourses made and issues mentioned might well be adaptable to other …
