Social Obligations Of Land Rights On Chinese Collective-Owned Land, Zhe Huang
Social Obligations Of Land Rights On Chinese Collective-Owned Land, Zhe Huang
Journal of Civil Law Studies
This article critically examines social obligations on Chinese collective-owned land. Current social responsibilities on Chinese collective-owned land are inadequate, ineffective, and distorted. Rural property right holders do not owe sufficient social burdens to society. As rural land regulators, rural collectives should have the authority to regulate and manage agricultural land use. Because of the vague and weak identity of rural collectives, collectives have limited authority and resources in restricting and regulating rural land use rights. As rural landowners, collectives violate their social responsibilities by misusing agricultural land and harming society. This article argues that for agricultural land, where physical characteristics …

Notarial Acts As Written Evidence: Towards A Convergence Between Civil Law And Common Law Systems, Angelo Chianale
Notarial Acts As Written Evidence: Towards A Convergence Between Civil Law And Common Law Systems, Angelo Chianale
Journal of Civil Law Studies
This article studies the contrast between civil and common law systems regarding the significance of the notarial act. According to conventional scholarship, in the former, civil procedure requires written evidence and the notarial act is the strongest kind of evidence. In the latter, however, civil procedure requires oral evidence and the notarial act has no specific relevance. This article examines the extent of these two main principles: a) in civil law systems the notarial act is full evidence of the extrinsic and a document can be challenged only with an action for falsity; and b) in common law systems the …
The Reluctance Of Civil Law Systems In Adopting The Ucc Article 9 “Without Breach Of Peace” Standard—Evidence From National And International Legal Instruments Governing Secured Transactions, Asress Adimi Gikay, Cătălin Gabriel Stănescu
The Reluctance Of Civil Law Systems In Adopting The Ucc Article 9 “Without Breach Of Peace” Standard—Evidence From National And International Legal Instruments Governing Secured Transactions, Asress Adimi Gikay, Cătălin Gabriel Stănescu
Journal of Civil Law Studies
One of the defining features of the Uniform Commercial Code Article 9 is the secured creditor’s ability to take possession of the collateral upon the debtor’s default “without breach of peace.” This standard is meant to protect the debtor from abusive secured creditors, the meaning of which has been shaped by courts on a case-by-case basis.
In reforming their secured transactions laws to enhance access to credit, continental legal systems have shown great reception to Article 9 by adopting the unitary concept and functional approach to security interests, introducing private enforcement mechanisms, including various forms of self-help repossession. However, the …

What Medical Risks Should Physicians Disclose To Their Patients? Towards A Better Standard In American And French Medical Malpractice Law, Alina-Emilia Ciortea
Journal of Civil Law Studies
This essay discusses the historical and evolutionary back-ground of the doctrine of informed consent in medical malpractice cases in order to provide the reader with a detailed and a unique comparative perspective of the law in the United States and in France, along with some cross-references to other legal systems across the globe.
In order to achieve the desired goal, this paper conducts the analysis based on a hypothetical situation. Starting from these facts, the paper shows how and if the American and the French standards addressing the scope of the physician’s duty to disclose the risks intrinsic to the …

Les Termes Comme Miroir Et Loupe D’Une Société? L’Exemple Du Code Civil Italien, Enrica Bracchi
Les Termes Comme Miroir Et Loupe D’Une Société? L’Exemple Du Code Civil Italien, Enrica Bracchi
Journal of Civil Law Studies
La langue est souvent le vecteur de concepts et de visions propres à une société ou une partie de celle-ci ; c’est à travers la langue que se dévoilent les contradictions, le refus ou l’assentiment par rapport à de nouvelles réalités sociales et sociétales, qui peuvent être réglementées par le droit. Le droit, quant à lui, se sert de la langue pour nommer ces réalités et la terminologie juridique ou parajuridique devient d’une part un miroir qui reflète des tendances et des variations et d’autre part une loupe car elle amplifie les contrastes et les points de détail concernant certaines …

Translating The Charitable Affectation In Private Law, Anne-Sophie Hulin
Translating The Charitable Affectation In Private Law, Anne-Sophie Hulin
Journal of Civil Law Studies
Traduire sans trahir, voilà la difficulté du traducteur comme celle du comparatiste. Comment garantir que les notions, une fois passées au filtre juridique, ne subissent pas une certaine altération, et ne perdent par là un peu d’elles-mêmes? Cet article s’intéresse donc à un genre particulier de traduction où des concepts universels se voient convertis en notions juridiques. Dans le cas précis de la philanthropie, la traduction se révèle moins aisée en droit civil qu’en common law au point de s’interroger de la capacité de ce premier à accueillir les mécanismes philanthropiques. Il en ressort alors que les traditions juridiques n’ont …

Jersey: Vocabularies Of Coûtume And Code, Steven Pallot
Jersey: Vocabularies Of Coûtume And Code, Steven Pallot
Journal of Civil Law Studies
The Channel Islands were an integral part of the Duchy of Normandy until 1204 when King John lost Continental Normandy to the French King, Philip Augustus. Jersey and Guernsey did not submit to the jurisdiction of the French King but retained allegiance to the King in England as Duke of Normandy. The customary laws of the Islands retain their Norman root to this day in spite of strong legal and cultural influences from England in the 19thand 20Centuries. A rich legal vocabulary in both French and English has evolved in these mixed legal jurisdictions.
This article examines the …

Brazil: The Difficult Path Toward Democratization Of Civil Law, Lucas Abreu Barroso, Pablo Malheiros Da Cunha Frota, Brígida Roldi Passamani, Lúcio Moreira Andrade
Journal of Civil Law Studies
The Federal Constitution of 1988 reinstated the democratic rule of law in Brazil. Based on fundamental rights, the “Citizen’s Constitution” shaped the model of a welfare State, which objectives consist in the construction of a free, just and solidary society, the eradication of poverty and substandard living conditions and the promotion of the well-being of all, without prejudice as to origin, race, sex, color, age and any other forms of discrimination. From this context, the constitutional idealization of family democracy emerges, specifically represented in this paper by the recognition of civil union be-tween people of the same sex as family …
