The European Union’S Impact On The Albanian Time-Share Contracts Onimmovable Properties, Denard Veshi
Journal of Civil Law Studies
Tourism is among the most essential factors for the international, European, and national economies. Since 1994, the EU has established clear rules regarding timeshare contracts to promote legal harmonization, consumer protection, and tourism, which impacts the functioning of the internal market. Although Albania is not part of the EU, the Albanian Courts have used acquis communautaire to rule on certain legal decisions. After showing the importance of EU law on Albanian legislation, this paper will study the impact of EU law on timeshare contracts on immovable properties in Albania. In conclusion, the research will underline the need for complete alignment …

Covid-19 And The Italian Legal System, Laura Maria Franciosi
Journal of Civil Law Studies
COVID-19 hit Italy with particular violence. Then spreading around Europe and worldwide, the virus raised unprecedented issues requiring the implementation of urgent measures to prevent its propagation. This Article focuses on selected topics of the Italian civil law particularly affected by the rise of COVID-19 and tries to provide brief comparative remarks. Namely, after summarizing the most important events that occurred in Italy––originating from the discovery of the first Italian case of COVID-19 in Codogno––it outlines relevant social and legal scenarios. This Article also concentrates on commercial lease contracts, and subsequently addresses the legal implications of vaccination, with reference to …
Restating The Civil Law Of Quasi-Contract: Negotiorum Gestio And Unjust Enrichment, Nikolaos A. Davrados
Restating The Civil Law Of Quasi-Contract: Negotiorum Gestio And Unjust Enrichment, Nikolaos A. Davrados
Journal of Civil Law Studies
This Article restates the Louisiana civil law of negotiorum gestio and unjust enrichment, one decade after the common-law Third Restatement of Restitution and Unjust Enrichment. The Article first redefines and re-designates the term "quasi-contract" from a false source of obligations to a valid practical term describing the two separate institutions of negotiorum gestio and unjust enrichment. Based on this renewed understanding of quasi-contract, the Article proceeds to a detailed commentary on the revised Louisiana law of negotiorum gestio and unjust enrichment (which includes the special action for payment of a thing not due and the general action for enrichment without …
No Trespassing: The Legal Origins Of Louisiana’S Water Access Dispute, Karly Kyzar Dorr
No Trespassing: The Legal Origins Of Louisiana’S Water Access Dispute, Karly Kyzar Dorr
Journal of Civil Law Studies
Since the birth of the civil law tradition, the public’s right to access and use running waters has been recognized and protected through written legal sources, statutes, and codes. However, although the State of Louisiana is often lauded as the “Sportsman’s Paradise,” the current judicial interpretation of water access rights has restricted the public’s ability to use waterways, in particular running waters, for recreational pursuits such as fishing and hunting. The purpose of this essay is first to highlight the trajectory of the development of the law relative to the public’s right to access and use running waters. The analysis …

The 2020 Revision Of The Puerto Rican Civil Code: A Brief Explanation Of Major Changes, Luis Muñiz-Argüelles
Journal of Civil Law Studies
Puerto Rico is with Louisiana one of the two United States jurisdictions having kept the civil law tradition as the bedrock of its private law. One of the last Spanish colonies, Puerto Rico became a US Territory in 1899. The Spanish Civil Code was replaced by a Puerto Rican Civil Code in 1930. A revision process spanned over a period of 23 years, ending with the adoption of a new Civil Code in 2020. After a presentation of the revision process, this report presents and discusses the changes and innovations in family law, property, contractual obligations, torts, and successions, also …

Performatives In Argentine Supreme Court Dissents: A Jurilinguistic Proposal For Civilian Change Based On The American Common Law, Mariano Vitetta
Performatives In Argentine Supreme Court Dissents: A Jurilinguistic Proposal For Civilian Change Based On The American Common Law, Mariano Vitetta
Journal of Civil Law Studies
This article explores a linguistic defect in how Argentine Supreme Court dissents are written. The reader of these dissents has a hard time distinguishing between a majority opinion and a dissenting opinion, because dissents are written “as if” they were deciding the case. The confusion results from the use of performative language in dissents when adherence to reality and a plain-language approach require modal verbs reflecting the language of suggestion. This is actually the way dissents are expressed in the United States, the jurisdiction from which the Argentine Supreme Court copied its constitutional design. To make the case against the …

The Constitutional Reshaping Of South Africa's Succession Laws, François Du Toit
The Constitutional Reshaping Of South Africa's Succession Laws, François Du Toit
Journal of Civil Law Studies
The South African Constitution of 1996 has had a significant im-pact on all the branches of South African law, including its succes-sion laws. The Constitution has transformatively reshaped im-portant aspects of South Africa's succession laws over the past two-and-a-half decades. This Article surveys the reshaping of two such aspects critically, namely (i) the extension of spousal inheritance under the Intestate Succession Act of 1987 and the Wills Act of 1953 as well as the extension of parental inheritance under the former statute; and (ii) the limitation of testamentary freedom. The afore-mentioned developments occurred by and large at the hands of …

The Doctrine Of Veil-Piercing Liability In Poland And Selected Countries: A Comparative Law Study, Mariusz Fras
The Doctrine Of Veil-Piercing Liability In Poland And Selected Countries: A Comparative Law Study, Mariusz Fras
Journal of Civil Law Studies
The separation of a company from its members, based on legal personality, is recognized as one of the fundamental principles of corporate law. It expresses the legal distinction between the two entities. A consequence of the separateness principle is that members are not liable for the debts of their companies, and companies cannot be held liable for the debts of their members. However, such consequences of the principle of mutual autonomy of companies and their members are in sharp contrast with commercial reality, in which intertwined corporate groups operate as a single economic entity. In market transactions, a subsidiary often …
Penalty Default Rules In Quebec Contract Law, Zackary Goldford
Penalty Default Rules In Quebec Contract Law, Zackary Goldford
Journal of Civil Law Studies
Few would deny that contract law is filled with default rules, but there has been a great deal of scholarly debate about their purposes and functions. Some American scholars have argued that there are default rules that do not align with most parties’ expectations; indeed, they impose a burden on one or both parties if they are not departed from. Departing from these default rules typically requires one or both parties to share information that they might have otherwise kept to themselves. These have been called “penalty default rules.” While there is a significant amount of scholarship on penalty default …
