Gandhi’S Prophecy: Corporate Violence And A Mindful Law For Bhopal, Nehal A. Patel Dec 2015

Gandhi’S Prophecy: Corporate Violence And A Mindful Law For Bhopal, Nehal A. Patel

Nehal A. Patel

AbstractOver thirty years have passed since the Bhopal chemical disaster began,and in that time scholars of corporate social responsibility (CSR) havediscussed and debated several frameworks for improving corporate responseto social and environmental problems. However, CSR discourse rarelydelves into the fundamental architecture of legal thought that oftenbuttresses corporate dominance in the global economy. Moreover, CSRdiscourse does little to challenge the ontological and epistemologicalassumptions that form the foundation for modern economics and the role ofcorporations in the world.I explore methods of transforming CSR by employing the thought ofMohandas Gandhi. I pay particular attention to Gandhi’s critique ofindustrialization and principle of swadeshi (self-sufficiency) …


Right To Cure Under The Unidroit Principles Article 7.1.4: A Historical Analysis, Gakuro Himeno Oct 2015

Right To Cure Under The Unidroit Principles Article 7.1.4: A Historical Analysis, Gakuro Himeno

Gakuro HIMENO

Riht to cure under Unidroit 7.1.4 has three sources: a) Nachtrag, b) mise en demeure and Nachfrist and c) right to cure under Uniform Commercial Code 2-508. When the UCC Committee, Section of Business law, the ABA reviewed what will become the Unidroit Principles, they found a counterpart to their own right to cure in it: Nachfrist. Then drafting a new provision upon cure was commissioned to Richard Hyland, a US professor. While this provision, rare case where Unidroit and PECL disagrees (8. 104), has long been under criticism especially by the European drafters, met with a DCFR provision that …

Fort Ninamancco Cordova

Nota publicada en El Peruano, que contiene una breve síntesis de mi ponencia como Amicus curiae ante el VII Pleno Casatorio Civil. De igual forma, denuncio la falsedad que se ha venido difundiendo, según la cual el TC y la Corte CIDH tiene decisiones que favorecen la primacía de la propiedad no inscrita, cuando, en realidad, sucede todo lo contrario.

Trust And Good-Faith Taken To A New Level: An Analysis Of Inconsistent Behavior In The Brazilian Legal Order, Thiago Luis Sombra Jul 2015

Trust And Good-Faith Taken To A New Level: An Analysis Of Inconsistent Behavior In The Brazilian Legal Order, Thiago Luis Sombra

Thiago Luís Santos Sombra

With the changes in the paradigm of voluntarism developed under the protection of liberalism, the bases for legal acts have reached an objective dimension, resulting in the birth of a number of mechanisms of control of private autonomy. Among these mechanisms, we can point out the relevance of those reinforced by the Roman Law, whose high ethical value underlines one of its biggest virtues in the control of the exercise of subjective rights. The prohibition of inconsistent behavior, conceived in the brocard venire contra factum proprium, constitutes one of the concepts from the Roman Law renown for the protection …

An Approach To The Regulation Of Spanish Banking Foundations, Miguel Martínez Jun 2015

An Approach To The Regulation Of Spanish Banking Foundations, Miguel Martínez

Miguel Martínez

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the legal framework governing banking foundations as they have been regulated by Spanish Act 26/2013, of December 27th, on savings banks and banking foundations. Title 2 of this regulation addresses a construct that is groundbreaking for the Spanish legal system, still of paramount importance for the entire financial system insofar as these foundations become the leading players behind certain banking institutions given the high interest that foundations hold in the share capital of such institutions.

Contrato, Operación Económica Y Equilibrio Contractual, Carlos Tamani May 2015

Contrato, Operación Económica Y Equilibrio Contractual, Carlos Tamani

Carlos Tamani

n el presente trabajo se cuestiona el criterio del análisis económico del derecho que sostiene la inutilidad de la excesiva onerosidad de la prestación y de la lesión, en razón de que los contratos son en sí desequilibrados, por lo que no son necesarias figuras legales que apunten a remediar tal desequilibrio. En opinión del autor, debe comprenderse de forma correcta la noción del equilibrio contractual, entendiéndose, al efecto, al contrato como una operación económica. En tal sentido, el equilibrio contractual no se identificaría con una equivalencia de prestaciones sin que exista un intercambio de prestaciones querido por ambas partes; …

Stiffing The Arbitrators: The Problem Of Nonpayment In Commercial Arbitration, Brian Farkas, Neal M. Eiseman Jan 2015

Stiffing The Arbitrators: The Problem Of Nonpayment In Commercial Arbitration, Brian Farkas, Neal M. Eiseman

Brian Farkas

Commercial arbitration is a creature of contract; the parties are there because they choose to be, either including an arbitration clause in their written agreement or, after a dispute developed, electing to avoid litigation all together. Arbitration also comes with an up-front cost non-existent in litigation: the arbitrators. Taxpayers pay for their state and federal judges, but the parties themselves pay for their arbitrators. But what happens if one party refuses (or is otherwise unable) to pay the arbitrator? If the arbitrator then refuses to proceed, as is likely, should the dispute revert to court, in derogation of the prior …


Breves Reflexiones Sobre La Cientificidad Del Contrato, Julio Santiago Solis Gozar Jan 2015

Breves Reflexiones Sobre La Cientificidad Del Contrato, Julio Santiago Solis Gozar

Julio Santiago Solis Gozar

El objetivo principal de este trabajo es demostrar que el contrato —instrumento jurídico indispensable para nuestra existencia—, como institución del Derecho Civil, goza de todos los presupuestos para ser considerado un acto científico con base en las características que posee, su importancia en la sociedad, y la evolución sistemática y metódica que precede a numerosos estudios que llevan a determinar principios y teorías sustentadas objetivamente. Para demostrar la propuesta, se necesita el soporte de la epistemología, la filosofía, la historia, la antropología, la sociología y el Derecho comparado a fin de obtener una modesta construcción teórica de su cientificidad.

Artificial Insemination From Donor (Aid) – From Status To Contract And Back Again?, Yehezkel Margalit Jan 2015

Artificial Insemination From Donor (Aid) – From Status To Contract And Back Again?, Yehezkel Margalit

Hezi Margalit

The last few decades have witnessed dramatic changes in the institutions of family and parenthood and an abandonment of the historical emphasis on their bionormative structures. These changes are the result of societal shifts with respect to public openness and technological innovations that segregate marital relations from sexuality and fertility. The resultant parenthood structures, which depart from traditional spousal and parental models, intensify the ability and need to determine legal parenthood in numerous unprecedented contexts. Sir Henry Maine famously stated that mankind is pacing from status toward contract. This theme has had particular resonance during the past half century in …
