China: Fragmented Rights And Tragedy Of Anticommons:Evidence From China’S Coastal Waters, Bing Shui
China: Fragmented Rights And Tragedy Of Anticommons:Evidence From China’S Coastal Waters, Bing Shui
Journal of Civil Law Studies
The ownership of, and rights to, coastal waters are exhibited on a cumulative scale ranging from commons-like to private use. As an example of a natural resource with complex and interlinked ecosystems, coastal waters give rise to many kinds of legal norms and pol-icy instruments. As shown by my investigation of China’s coastal waters, people are willing to pay for legal rights which guarantee exclusive access, regardless of the relatively high cost. The statistical data further reveals that, when coastal waters are divided, there is a negative correlation between fragmentation of the seas and sea-based production. Therefore, based on the …

The Duty Of Good Faith Taken To A New Level:An Analysis Of Disloyal Behavior, Thiago Luís Sombra
The Duty Of Good Faith Taken To A New Level:An Analysis Of Disloyal Behavior, Thiago Luís Sombra
Journal of Civil Law Studies
By focusing on improving the role of certain mechanisms for controlling private autonomy under a crisis of liberal values, contract law has reached an objective and straight dimension. The prohibition of disloyal or inconsistent behavior, also known as venire contra factum proprium in Roman Law, constitutes one of the concepts that is renowned for protecting the trust relationship. The prohibition of disloyal behavior lies in avoiding contradictory behaviors regarding previous manifestations of will that are based on good faith and that can cause damages. This article aims to challenge the main reason why disloyal behavior should be limited by good …

International Trade V. Intellectual Property Lawyers:Globalization And The Brazilian Legal Profession, Vitor Martins Dias
International Trade V. Intellectual Property Lawyers:Globalization And The Brazilian Legal Profession, Vitor Martins Dias
Journal of Civil Law Studies
In the context of globalization, this work analyzes a distinctive characteristic of the Brazilian legal profession. Namely, intellectual property (IP) lawyers, who played important roles in opening the Brazilian economy and who were key players in cross-border transactions, are now losing ground to their peers with respect to expertise in international trade. The thesis of this article is that the manner in which Brazilian lawyers are being educated is problematic. Generally, Brazilian legal education has become degraded and provincial. Yet, Brazilian international trade lawyers, unlike Brazilian IP lawyers, have overcome their deficient legal training by seeking legal education abroad. By …

The Louisiana Civil Code In French:Translation And Retranslation, Olivier Moréteau
The Louisiana Civil Code In French:Translation And Retranslation, Olivier Moréteau
Journal of Civil Law Studies
The first codes of Louisiana (1808 and 1825) were written in French and translated into English. When the Civil Code was revised in 1870, it was written in English only. Recent revisions, all in English, aim at promoting a civilian vocabulary that differs from that of the common law. This article discusses the translation of the Louisiana Civil Code from English to French in the context of the steep decline and limited revival of the French language usage in Louisiana. It explores the purpose and the implementation process of the translation project, detailing every step, and identifying linguistic and legal …

Québec, Canada - Loyalty In Québec Private Law, Caroline Le Breton-Prévost
Québec, Canada - Loyalty In Québec Private Law, Caroline Le Breton-Prévost
Journal of Civil Law Studies
This paper provides an overview of the duty of loyalty in Québec private law. It dispels uncertainty regarding the duty’s nature and then analyzes the duty of loyalty in the Civil Code of Québec. In doing so, this paper takes into account the mixed origins of the duty by establishing certain parallels with the common law. Ultimately, this paper suggests that the duty of loyalty arises when a legal actor has the power to act within the legal sphere of another

“Against Interpretation”? On Global (Non-)Law, The Breaking-Up Of Homo Juridicus, And The Disappearance Of The Jurist, Luca Siliquini-Cinelli
“Against Interpretation”? On Global (Non-)Law, The Breaking-Up Of Homo Juridicus, And The Disappearance Of The Jurist, Luca Siliquini-Cinelli
Journal of Civil Law Studies
This paper investigates the nullification of homo juridicus and the vanishing of the jurist in relation to the liberal global-order project and the emergence and spread of soft-networked channels of post-national governance. By inquiring into the shift from the individual’s active will to the sterile behavioural schemes prompted by the universalisation of liberalism and economic analysis of social interactions, it will be argued that the jurist and the (rule of) law are no longer needed in a post-national system of rational and mechanic causations. Through an analysis of Susan Sontag’s and Josef Esser’s accounts for and against the interpretative task, …
