La Voluntad En Los Contratos De Adhesión: Sociología Y Crítica Jurídica, Con Énfasis En El Análisis Económico Del Derecho / The Consent Theory Critique And Standard Form Contracts In Civil Law (With Special Reference To Law And Economics), Andres Palacios Lleras Dec 2011

La Voluntad En Los Contratos De Adhesión: Sociología Y Crítica Jurídica, Con Énfasis En El Análisis Económico Del Derecho / The Consent Theory Critique And Standard Form Contracts In Civil Law (With Special Reference To Law And Economics), Andres Palacios Lleras

Andrés Palacios Lleras

El presente artículo tiene como propósito sugerir los elementos básicos para (re)construir una doctrina diferente sobre la interpretación de los contratos de adhesión en Colombia, basada en las ideas de Josserand y en literatura contemporánea sobre análisis económico del derecho. La tesis que se argumenta sugiere que dichos contratos deben interpretarse teniendo en mente tanto las característias cognitivas de los adherentes, como el desequilirio de poder negocial que subyace su relación con los oferentes, y sugiere que las normas potestativas sólo puedan ser cambiadas a favor de la parte adherente.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the connections …


Electronic Contracts In Tanzania: An Appraisal Of The Legal Framework, Daudi Mwita Nyamaka Mr. Nov 2011

Electronic Contracts In Tanzania: An Appraisal Of The Legal Framework, Daudi Mwita Nyamaka Mr.

Daudi Mwita Nyamaka Mr.

The concern of our study was to examine the legal basis for electronic contracts in Tanzania. The major problems that were being examined are; the ascertainment of e-contract terms and the other party in the contract with the focus to consent i.e. consensus ad idem requirements and capacity to contract. With the first problem, e-commerce involves e-contracts and the business community in Tanzania enters into contractual arrangements with external world via websites or email in which case the electronic environment is not suitable in Tanzania in terms of the laws and the technology. Messages sent via internet may be garbled …

Innovating Financial Law In The Early Modern Netherlands And Europe: Transfers Of Commercial Paper And Recourse Liability In Legislation And Ius Commune (Sixteenth-Eighteenth Centuries), Dave De Ruysscher Oct 2011

Innovating Financial Law In The Early Modern Netherlands And Europe: Transfers Of Commercial Paper And Recourse Liability In Legislation And Ius Commune (Sixteenth-Eighteenth Centuries), Dave De Ruysscher

Dave De ruysscher

In this contribution it is demonstrated how in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Dutch rules concerning negotiable credit instruments (i.e., bills obligatory to bearer and bills of exchange) transformed financial law throughout the European continent. The Antwerp and Amsterdam authorities devised precepts of law on such issues that went against substantial principles of the academic ius commune. In the course of the seventeenth century, the former’s success brought about their insertion into financial legislation of German cities. This phenomenon came along with a new comparative approach of legislators in the whole of Europe, which was typical of that period. During …

Negotiating The India-Pakistan Conflict In Relation To Kashmir., Varun Vaish Sep 2011

Negotiating The India-Pakistan Conflict In Relation To Kashmir., Varun Vaish

Varun Vaish

Any academic discussion centered on a particular conflict is incomplete without first attempting to garner a better understanding of the genesis and subsequent alteration of the underlying factors that contribute to a dispute through an integrative approach. Such an approach has been termed as “Transformation Studies,” wherein an attempt is made to first study the experiences which lead to grievances and ultimately to disputes. In this approach the emergence and transformation of a dispute is analogous to studying a social process as it occurs.Only when a particular experience is perceived to be injurious, does one feel the need to attribute …


Ownership Unbundling In European Energy Market & Legal Problems Under Eu Law, Michael Diathesopoulos Sep 2011

Ownership Unbundling In European Energy Market & Legal Problems Under Eu Law, Michael Diathesopoulos

Michael Diathesopoulos

In this paper we will examine the issue of ownership unbundling and forced divestiture remedies imposed in a series of recent competition law cases of the energy market - examined in other papers - in relation to the possible existence of a series of legal obstacles. These energy market decisions belong to a group of antitrust cases in which a structural divestiture remedy has been imposed under the provisions of Article 9 of Regulation 1/2003. This divestiture refers to transmission networks and to generation capacity and is meant to lead to severe structural changes, which are compatible with the findings …

Copyright In Its Global Contextcanada's Approach To Bill C-32: India’S Lesson In 'What Not To Do'., Varun Vaish

Varun Vaish

Every once in a while, one has the luxury to benefit from the experience of another. When those experiences originate from a comparable state of affairs, one would be unwise not to learn from them. Such an opportunity presents itself before India as both Copyright Modernization Act, 2010 of Canada and the Copyright (Amendment) Bill, 2010 of India are tabled before their respective legislative houses. Through this note the author seeks to reflect upon Canada’s Bill C-32 vis-à-vis the other proposed or prevailing copyright laws of countries, in order to expediently inform the Indian position on Copyright law. The author …


Vinculação De Ações À Acordos De Acionistas, Luiz Rafael De Vargas Maluf Aug 2011

Vinculação De Ações À Acordos De Acionistas, Luiz Rafael De Vargas Maluf

Luiz Rafael de Vargas Maluf

O presente trabalho busca avaliar se as ações pertencentes à signatários de acordo de acionistas seriam vinculativas ao próprio acordo, o que significa que carregariam esse numa hipótese de alienação dessas ações para terceiros. Após uma análise quanto ao surgimento histórico, tipos de acordo, as formalidades de registro, bem como sobre a forma como são abordados na legislação de outros países, e os tipos de restrições aplicáveis, o trabalho conclui com um a abordagem prática analisando casos hipotéticos, com os benefícios e prejuízos em cada situação. Como resultado final, demonstra que tais vinculações dependem de uma série de quesitos, como …

De La Admiración A La Recepción Crítica: El Apagado Eco De La Codificación Del Derecho Privado Europeo En América Latina, Leysser L. Leon Jul 2011

De La Admiración A La Recepción Crítica: El Apagado Eco De La Codificación Del Derecho Privado Europeo En América Latina, Leysser L. Leon

Leysser L. León

En este artículo se esboza el nuevo posicionamiento de los ordenamientos jurídica de América Latina frente a los proyectos de armonización de las codificaciones civiles europeas. La tesis del Autor es que de una etapa dilatada de importación normativa masiva se ha pasado (y se necesita pasar) a una recepción crítica: con el auxilio de la comparación jurídica, se debe discriminar el material legislativo extranjero, conociéndolo en su origen e informándose sobre su problemática, a fin de evitar la migración de modelos inadecuados para fructificar fuera de su contexto de producción.


Análisis Económico De La Contratación Pública En Colombia: El Régimen De Contratación Estatal En Colombia Como Herramienta Para La Satisfacción Simultanea De Intereses Particulares Y Colectivos., Daniel Monroy Jul 2011

Análisis Económico De La Contratación Pública En Colombia: El Régimen De Contratación Estatal En Colombia Como Herramienta Para La Satisfacción Simultanea De Intereses Particulares Y Colectivos., Daniel Monroy

Daniel A Monroy C

El objetivo principal de este trabajo es evaluar si el actual estatuto de contratación pública en Colombia (Ley 80 de 1993), representa un marco regulatorio adecuado para lograr simultáneamente los fines estatales, así como para satisfacer los interés de los particulares que contratan con las diferentes entidades públicas. Se propone que la coexistencia entre los fines propios del Estado y aquellos estrechamente vinculados con el interés individual es viable, sin embargo, esta hipótesis difícilmente se puede sustentar desde la perspectiva de la economía neoclásica (la Escuela de Chicago), contrario a ello, un enfoque alternativo (v.g. el propio de la Nueva …

Social Contract Theory Of John Locke (1932-1704) In The Contemporary World, Daudi Mwita Nyamaka Mr. Jun 2011

Social Contract Theory Of John Locke (1932-1704) In The Contemporary World, Daudi Mwita Nyamaka Mr.

Daudi Mwita Nyamaka Mr.

The 17th century period was marked by an attempt to erect effective safeguard against violations of natural law by governments. Law in this period was conceptualized as an instrument for the prevention of autocracy and despotism. Absolutism in Europe that was associated with governmental encroachments necessitated a strong shield of individual liberty. In this period legal theory placed the main emphasis on liberty, thus the law was to render governments capable of functioning as a guarantor of individual rights. This paper aims at examining the social contract theory of the 17th-century English philosopher, John Locke, its parameters, limitations and its …

The Law Of Guarantees: The Rights & Liabilities Of The Guarantor, Maurya Vijay Chandra May 2011

The Law Of Guarantees: The Rights & Liabilities Of The Guarantor, Maurya Vijay Chandra

Maurya Vijay Chandra

A contract of guarantee requires meeting of minds of three players - the principal debtor, the surety and the creditor. The surety (usually a bank) undertakes an obligation at the request express or implied of the principal debtor (usually the bank's customer). It is an independent contract between the bank and the beneficiary. It is this very autonomy that makes a contract of guarantee an instrument for growth of business and economy.

Competition Law And Sector Regulation In The European Energy Market After The Third Energy Package: Hierarchy And Efficiency, Michael Diathesopoulos Apr 2011

Competition Law And Sector Regulation In The European Energy Market After The Third Energy Package: Hierarchy And Efficiency, Michael Diathesopoulos

Michael Diathesopoulos

The aim of this research is to provide the basic parameters for a model for the definition of the relation between the general competition and sector specific frameworks and rules regarding the regulation of the Internal Energy Market, especially after the Third Energy Package. The research considers the recent sector specific framework in relation to a series of recent competition law cases of the Energy Market where structural remedies were applied under the commitments procedure. Essential facilities doctrine and generally competition law tools do not seem to provide a suitable framework for effectively addressing the dynamic competition concept, treating the …

The Economics Of Horizontal Government Cooperation (Working Paper), Matthew R. Dalsanto Ph.D. Apr 2011

The Economics Of Horizontal Government Cooperation (Working Paper), Matthew R. Dalsanto Ph.D.

Matthew R. DalSanto, Ph.D.

This paper analyzes the ability of intrastate and interstate cooperative agreements to either minimize or capitalize on interjurisdictional externalities. These agreements are commonly referred to as compacts or joint powers agreements (intrastate compacts). The compact mechanism allows regional governments to enter into contractual agreements with one another to coordinate policy choices and to engage in cooperative endeavors. Given the inter-jurisdictional nature of the issues that affect horizontally situated governments, this mechanism is a powerful tool to achieve welfare-enhancing outcomes for citizens.

A review of the legal case law surrounding compacts is conducted to analyze the legal properties from an economic …

Innkeepers: A Unifying Theory Of The In-House Counsel Role, Omari S. Simmons Jan 2011

Innkeepers: A Unifying Theory Of The In-House Counsel Role, Omari S. Simmons

Omari Scott Simmons

The emergence of the in-house counsel role, or “innkeepers” in the terminology of this Article, is one of the most significant shifts in the legal profession over the past half century and this development inevitably has implications for legal scholars, policymakers, and practitioners. A concise, all encompassing, theory of the in-house counsel role has proven elusive for legal scholars, as well as a comprehensive analysis of in-house counsel impact on business enterprises. In order to fill this significant gap in the legal literature, this Article articulates a unifying theory of in-house counsel value creation positing that the strategic in-house counsel …
