Beyond Triple Identity: The Judicial Transformation Of The Doctrine Of Res Judicata In Egyptian Law, Fatma El Zahraa Ibrahim Khalil

Archived Theses and Dissertations

This thesis explores the judicial transformation of the doctrine of res judicata under Egyptian law through an analysis of sixty-four decisions of Court of Cassation decisions in the period between 1935 and 2007 in civil and commercial matters. The thesis demonstrates that the Egyptian judiciary has almost abandoned the statutory triple identity test that requires identity of parties, object and cause. The judiciary developed a test of issue-identity to determine the extent to which issues decided in a previous decision bind its parties in subsequent proceedings. The judiciary uses inconsistent wording in applying this test. There is little clear scholarly …

Reflexões Sobre A Natureza Jurídica Dos Embriões Excedentários Na Experiência Brasileira Contemporânea, Carolina Altoé Velasco

Carolina Altoé Velasco

O presente trabalho tem por finalidade examinar algumas das implicações trazidas pela biotecnologia para a sociedade contemporânea. São analisados os fatores geradores dos embriões excedentários, bem como a busca pela melhor forma de repensar os reflexos revelados pelo biodireito neste contexto. Constata-se como fundamental o equilíbrio entre tecnologia, direito e moral, a fim de compatibilizar o progresso científico – que não tem o objetivo ultrapassar os limites do próprio ser humano. São demonstradas, ainda, as divergências existentes sobre a natureza jurídica do embrião humano excedentário, bem como as questões éticas decorrentes. Os embriões excedentários devem, contudo, receber a tutela jurídica …

To Abstain Or Not To Abstain: A New Framework For Application Of The Abstention Doctrine In International Parallel Proceedings, Jocelyn H. Bush

American University Law Review

It is obvious to most that the ties between people and businesses in different countries have increased dramatically in recent years. One of the effects of this globalization of the world’s economies and societies is an increase in international or transnational litigation. As traveling and conducting business across international borders becomes easier and cheaper, and the number of international business transactions increases, so too have the number of lawsuits involving parties and transactions or occurrences from different countries. This development has led to a corresponding increase in the number of lawsuits before United States courts which are similar, or indeed …

Incentive Effect Of Liability Rules In The Presence Of Liability Insurance In The Maritime Law Context: An Economic Analysis, Muhammad Masum Billah

Dalhousie Law Journal

Incentive effect of liability law may be affected by the presence of liability insurance. Apparently when a party has liability insurance and does not have to pay directly from its own pocket, it will have less motivation to exercise proper care. This tendency of an insured is known as "moral hazard." There are many studies on the problem of "moral hazard" and on various mechanisms how to address it. Yet, there is a lack of academic discussion on comparative analysis between liability law and liability insurance in terms of their effect on creation of incentives; that is, whether liability law …

Michelle Obama: The "Darker Side" Of Presidential Spousal Involvement And Activism, Gregory S. Parks, Quinetta M. Roberson, Phd

Cornell Law Faculty Working Papers

Pundits and commentators have attempted to make sense of the role that race and gender have played in the 2008 presidential campaign. Whereas researchers are drawing on varying bodies of scholarship (legal, cognitive and social psychology, and political science) to illuminate the role that Senator Obama’s race and Senator Clinton’s gender has/had on their campaign, Michelle Obama has been left out of the discussion. As Senator Clinton once noted, elections are like hiring decisions. As such, new frontiers in employment discrimination law place Michelle Obama in context within the current presidential campaign. First, racism and sexism are both alive and …

Inflando Los Resarcimientos Con Automatismos. El Daño Al Proyecto De Vida Y Otros Espejismos De La Magistratura Peruana, Leysser L. Leon

Leysser L. León

Una sentencia de la Corte Superior de Lima (Perú) en la que se concede a un ex-magistrado destituido un resarcimiento exorbitante por "daño al proyecto de vida" (US$ 70,000), una categoría irresarcible conforme al ordenamiento peruano y nociva por los espejismos que crea en la magistratura, brinda la ocasión para proponer límites a la creación jurisprudencial de nuevas y artificiales especies de "daño".

Differentiating Church And State (Without Losing The Church), Patrick Mckinley Brennan

Working Paper Series

There is an ongoing debate about whether the U.S. Constitution includes -- or should be interpreted to include -- a principle of "church autonomy." Catholic doctrine and political theology, by contrast, clearly articulated a principle of "libertas ecclesiae," liberty of the church, when during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the Church differentiated herself from the state. This article explores the meaning and origin of the doctrine of the libertas ecclesiae and the proper relationship among churches, civil society, and government. In doing so, it highlights the points at which church and state should cooperate and the points at which …

Transacción Inválida E Inutilidad De La Doctrina De Los Actos Propios. A Propósito Del Primer Pleno Casatorio A Favor Del Abuso De La Libertad De Estipulación, Rómulo Morales

Rómulo Morales Hervias

En esta investigación se formulan críticas al Primer Pleno Casatorio de la Corte Suprema del Perú en materia civil donde se demuestra la ausencia de conocimiento del contrato con lesión enorme y de la transacción. Asimismo, esta jurisprudencia aplica la doctrina de los actos propios para desaparecer los derechos de los damnificados por daño a su salud y para proteger a los empresarios ubicados en una posición dominante.

Mapping Proportionality Review: Still A "Road To Nowhere", Rachel A. Van Cleave

Publications

This article examines how a majority of the Supreme Court went out of its way to vacate a punitive damages award in Philip Morris and further reinforced the inconsistency with which it applies the principle of proportionality. When it comes to punitive damages awards, a majority of Justices continue to convey distrust of juries and of trial and appellate court judges who review these awards. However, when it comes to terms of imprisonment, the Court has eschewed substantive review under the Eighth Amendment while insisting that the Sixth Amendment requires that all facts supporting an increase in a sentence be …

El Contrato Con Efectos Oponibles Erga Omnes: Su Incidencia En El Sistema De Transferencia De La Propiedad Inmueble Y En El Sistema De Oponibilidad De Derechos, Jimmy J. Ronquillo Pascual

Jimmy J. Ronquillo Pascual

En este artículo, el autor analiza el tema de la incidencia del contrato con efectos erga omnes en los sistemas de transferencia de la propiedad inmobiliaria y de oponibilidad de derechos. Concretamente, fija posición respecto de dos debates recurrentes en la doctrina civil peruana: el contrato con efectos reales y el sistema de transferencia de la propiedad inmueble al cual se adhiere nuestro ordenamiento. Finalmente, aborda el sistema de oponibilidad de derechos que recoge el Código Civil en su artículo 2022, poniendo especial énfasis en el segundo párrafo del citado artículo, referente al conflicto entre un derecho real y un …
