Obsolescence Bargaining In Transit Pipelines: What Options Exist For Securing Resource Supply, Humphrey Onyeukwu

Humphrey Onyeukwu

ABSTRACT:

Within the Oil and Gas value chain, transportation plays an important role in fusing the link between the producer and consumer nations. The supply of oil and gas are principally through pipelines routes which typically transcend across several borders and therefore requires the negotiation of transit terms with transit nations. This situation has therefore subjected resource supply, a very important factor input in the matrix of energy consumption to the vagaries of obsolescing bargain and its ancillary effect of potential disruptions to the consumer nation. This paper shall seek to examine the issues of obsolescing bargain in transit pipelines …

The “Institutional Turn” In Jurisprudence: Critique And Reconstruction., Andres Palacios Lleras

Andrés Palacios Lleras

This paper engages in a inquiry into the roles that courts play within the legal system, given that judges are interdependent interpreters of legal rules that are boundedly rational and, arguably, politically biased. Contemporary authors claim that, although these two conditions play an important role in interpretation, contemporary theories in jurisprudence have not addressed them properly. Their assessments raise legal issues that are very significant; given the fact that judges are boundedly rational and tend to display political biases, how should they interpret legal rules? Is it best for them to interpret these rules in a formalist fashion, without resorting …

The Indeterminate Side Of Constitutions As Precommitment Strategies, Andres Palacios Lleras

Andrés Palacios Lleras

This paper engages in a time-honored inquiry in American jurisprudence, an inquiry which continues to be invigorated by contemporary studies in Constitutional Law. It is an inquiry into the determinacy of the American Constitution as a legal text, taking into account that it was drafted and approved more than two hundred years ago with the purpose, arguably, to organize present and future political decision-making. Some contemporary authors claim that the discussion about the role of the Constitution is muddled, and that to acknowledge its authority does not necessarily entail a theory of constitutional interpretation. Furthermore, other authors have claimed that …

International Trade And Insolvency Law: Is The Uncitral Model Law On Cross-Border Insolvency An Answer For Brazil? (An Economic Analysis Of Its Benefits On International Trade), Locatelli, Fernando

Fernando Locatelli

THE promotion of free international trade and the development of global financial markets have resulted in significant changes to the structure and dynamics of commercial relations in the last three decades. International integration among economies has been a useful tool for achieving economic growth. Consequently, most economies are interdependent, and business has been made among traders located in different jurisdictions.

Investors and enterprises have moved toward new boundaries seeking new markets. Companies have radically changed their structures as a means of maximizing profits. Nowadays multinational companies are a common feature, owning assets and assuming obligations in various countries. As a …

The Law Of Remedies In A Mixed Jurisdiction: The Israeli Experience, Dr. Yehuda Adar, Prof. Gabriela Shalev

Yehuda Adar Dr.

Remedies for Breach of an Obligation - this is the title of the section on remedies in the Israeli Draft Civil Code. Its objective is to create a unified and comprehensive statutory scheme for awarding remedies in all branches of private law (civil and commercial).

This development is no doubt of significant interest to the Israeli lawyer. However, for a number of reasons, acquaintance with this law reform should be of value to legal comparatists in many other jurisdictions. First, from a comparative perspective the present state of the law of remedies in Israel, as well as the forthcoming reform …

An Investment To Die For, Kelly J. Bozanic

Kelly J. Bozanic

Profiting from death may strike one as morally offensive, but the life settlement industry has created just such an opportunity. A life settlement is a transaction wherein an insured assigns the ownership interest (contract rights to the death benefit) of a life insurance policy to an investor for cash consideration. In other words, it is the sale of an economic interest in the death of the insured. As such, the industry has created a secondary market for what was once thought to be an illiquid asset: life insurance. While current market volatility makes an investment in death attractive, the life …

Anti-Social Contracts: The Contractual Governance Of Virtual Worlds, Joshua A.T. Fairfield

Scholarly Articles

Virtual worlds have seized the imaginations of millions of people who now live, work, and play together in these new environments. But all is not well. These online communities are ruled nearly exclusively by contract law, through end-user licence agreements, terms of service, and codes of conduct. Contracts are a critical means of helping two (or a few) people negotiate their preferences. But online communities are made up of enormous and shifting populations that have no time or ability to negotiate agreements with every other community member. Relying on contracts alone thus threatens the investments and creativity that go into …

Coordinating In The Shadow Of The Law: Two Contextualized Tests Of The Focal Point Theory Of Legal Compliance, Richard H. Mcadams, Janice Nadler

Faculty Working Papers

In situations where people have an incentive to coordinate their behavior, law can provide a framework for understanding and predicting what others are likely to do. According to the focal point theory of expressive law, the law's articulation of a behavior can sometimes create self-fulfilling expectations that it will occur. Existing theories of legal compliance emphasize the effect of sanctions or legitimacy; we argue that, in addition to sanctions and legitimacy, law can also influence compliance simply by making one outcome salient. We tested this claim in two experiments where sanctions and legitimacy were held constant. Experiment 1 demonstrated that …

What If Seeds Were Not Patentable?, Elizabeth I. Winston

Scholarly Articles

In 2001, the United States Supreme Court held that seeds were patentable subject matter - a decision, I assert, of much discussion and little impact. Protection of agricultural intellectual property through private ordering, used both to expand the protection available through public ordering and to circumvent the restrictions public ordering places on owners of intellectual property, has provided the incentives necessary to promote investment and innovation in seeds. It has not been the patentability of seeds that has led to agricultural advances, but rather the profitability of licensing agricultural intellectual property. What if seeds were not patentable? So what if …
