Rules Against Rulification, Michael Coenen Dec 2014

Rules Against Rulification, Michael Coenen

Journal Articles

The Supreme Court often confronts the choice between bright-line rules and open-ended standards — a point well understood by commentators and the Court itself. Far less understood is a related choice that arises once the Court has opted for a standard over a rule: May lower courts develop subsidiary rules to facilitate their own application of the Supreme Court’s standard, or must they always apply that standard in its pure, un-“rulified” form? In several recent cases, spanning a range of legal contexts, the Court has endorsed the latter option, fortifying its first-order standards with second-order “rules against rulification.” Rules against …

Enlarged State Power To Declare Nullity: The Hidden State Interest In The Chinese Contract Law, Hao Jiang Oct 2014

Enlarged State Power To Declare Nullity: The Hidden State Interest In The Chinese Contract Law, Hao Jiang

Journal of Civil Law Studies

This article is on the hidden state interest that article 52(§1) of the Chinese Contract Law protects and the questionable applicability of freedom of contract to Chinese state-owned enterprises (hereafter “SOEs”). In common law, fraud and duress make a contract voidable. In Western civil law jurisdictions, including Louisiana, fraud and duress make a contract relatively null. Article 52(§1) of the Chinese Contract Law renders a contract induced by fraud and duress absolutely null (null and void if using common law terminology) when state interest is harmed. At the same time, according to article 54 of the Contract Law, fraud and …


Mixed Jurisdiction And The Scottish Legal Tradition: Reconsidering The Concept Of Mixture, Stephen Thomson Oct 2014

Mixed Jurisdiction And The Scottish Legal Tradition: Reconsidering The Concept Of Mixture, Stephen Thomson

Journal of Civil Law Studies

Scotland is typically regarded as a mixed jurisdiction based on an assessment of its combination of civilian and common law traditions. If this narrow definition of “mixture” is opened up, one will find several other traditions which are constituent parts of the Scottish legal tradition. Those range from the seemingly remote Celtic and udal law, through feudal and canon law, to the law of the European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights. An holistic approach to the question of mixture requires that each of these traditions is accounted for, especially because of the difficulties in assessing the legacy …


Civil Status And Civil Registry: Current Trends In Spanish Law, Sofia De Salas Murillo Oct 2014

Civil Status And Civil Registry: Current Trends In Spanish Law, Sofia De Salas Murillo

Journal of Civil Law Studies

Currently, in Spanish Law, civil status is a concept under discussion in regard to its definition, its content, the enumeration of possible civil statuses, and even its very subsistence as a category. The processing given to civil status in the corresponding Laws of the Civil Registry is especially important as precisely this Registry has the main, although not sole, objective to officially verify the “acts” or “facts concerning the civil status of persons,” although other legal facts, which are not classifiable as such, are also recorded. The interdependence of both concepts means that it is advisable to have combined …
