ثوابت وتساؤلات فإمكانية حلول فيما خص إيفاء الديون المحررة بالعملة الأجنبية في ظل الأزمة المالية, ݒول الحاج شاهين

Proche-Orient, Études juridiques

The seminar entitled “Repayment of Debts Denominated in Foreign Currency Amid the Financial Crisis” addresses the severe financial turmoil Lebanon has been experiencing since the end of 2019, marked above all by the sharp depreciation of the Lebanese pound. This collapse created profound difficulties in repaying debts denominated in foreign currency, and in some cases made repayment impossible. The issue is closely tied to Lebanon’s reliance on foreign currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar. Anticipating such risks, many Lebanese citizens had safeguarded their savings by depositing them in banks in foreign currency, as protection against the recurring devaluation of the national …

قراءة تحليلية نقدية لمقتضيات المادة ٢٣٥ من قانون الإجراءات المدنية الملغاة ولمقتضيات المادة ٨٥ من اللائحة التنظيمية من قانون الإجراءات المدنية الاتحادي, خالد زاهر

Proche-Orient, Études juridiques

This paper addresses one of the conditions for the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgements in the United Arab Emirates, namely verifying the jurisdiction of the foreign court that issued the judgment. In this regard, the UAE Civil Transactions Code provides that the Emirati enforcement judge cannot order the enforcement of a foreign judgment before verifying that the Emirati courts do not enjoy exclusive jurisdiction over the dispute that had led to the issuance of the judgment or the order, and that the foreign court that issued the judgment or the order enjoys jurisdiction under the international jurisdiction rules laid …

القواعد الكلية في قانون المعاملات المدنية الاماراتي, خليل غصن

Proche-Orient, Études juridiques

The importance of the "qawaed kulliya" (Fundamental Rules) lies in the fact that they are recognized in the various laws due to the values they represent, arising from sound logic. They are called kulliya because they are the source from which legal provisions derive, and they help in understanding the causes and aims of rules allowing for deduction and analysis. The UAE being sensitive to the importance of the Fundamental Rules has dedicated a special chapter to them, titled "Certain Doctrinal Interpretative Rules", in the Civil Transactions Law promulgated by the Federal Law No. 5 of 1985. In …

Proche-Orient, Études juridiques

This study dealt, initially in 2018, with a long-running controversial issue in doctrine and case law, namely the determining criterion in civil liability of board members in a joint-stock company allowing to differentiate between the company’s claim that the shareholder can exercise alone (known as ut singuli claim) and the shareholder’s claim to request compensation for his "individual" damage. The new 2015 UAE law for commercial companies has confused, in the wording used in Article 166, between the damage suffered by the company and the "individual" damage suffered by the shareholder. This confusion has been corrected in the amending Law …

Proche-Orient, Études juridiques

This article examines how force majeure and hardship are approached in the UAE Civil Transactions Code by analyzing their constitutive elements and comparing their consequences on contract performance and liability.

The Analytical Routes Of Aiding And Abetting Under The Alien Tort Statute, Amelia Cochran

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This paper examines whether aiding and abetting liability for corporate involvement in human rights abuses is a cognizable claim under the Alien Tort Statute (ATS). Though the ATS has potential to serve as a powerful mechanism of civil redress for violations of international law, the Supreme Court has increasingly narrowed its scope in recent decades. As a result, critical questions remain unresolved regarding the cognizability of certain claims under the statute. This paper focuses primarily on Doe I et al. v. Cisco Systems, Inc. et al.,, a case emerging from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In January 2026, following …

Leeds V. Norfolk Southern Railway Company—In Undoing Late Removal, District Court Gives Guidance On Evaluating Whether Defendants Were Joined In “Bad Faith”, Geoffrey D. Kearney

SLU Law Journal Online

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1446, defendants typically have one year to remove to federal court a case filed in state court. The landscape for removal changed somewhat with a 2011 amendment to this statute, which extends that one-year deadline upon a showing “that the plaintiff has acted in bad faith in order to prevent a defendant from removing the action.”

But the question of what sort of conduct satisfies this provision persists. Since its passage, courts—primarily district courts—have grappled with just what it means for a plaintiff to act in bad faith to thwart removal. Leeds v. Norfolk Southern …

Order And Orthodox: The Influence Of Ecclesiastical Courts On The Federal Rules Of Civil Procedure And A Biblical Worldview, Rachel Auld

Senior Honors Theses

When analyzing the English history of American civil procedure, one could stop at the common law; however, England had two distinct courts at the time of the American Revolution: King’s courts and Ecclesiastical courts. At this time, the Ecclesiastical courts governed religious and moral issues including divorce, defamation, and probate. As a result, the Ecclesiastical courts had separate procedures from the common law King’s courts. America adopted the Ecclesiastical courts’ legal fields, and in turn, aspects of the Ecclesiastical court procedure. This thesis addresses the influence of the Ecclesiastical courts on the modern American Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by …
