Leaving Money On The Table: Contract Practice In A Low-Trust Environment, Ruben Kraiem Feb 2004

Leaving Money On The Table: Contract Practice In A Low-Trust Environment, Ruben Kraiem

ExpressO

Social capital – the level of trust inherent in a society – will affect the contracting practices that are considered standard, practical or fair. These practices in turn will help determine the parties’ positions as they approach their negotiation, how they will communicate, and what terms they will agree in any particular transaction. This is true not only for the small transaction, but also for large and complex deals. As a result, when operating in a low-trust environment, even sophisticated parties (who can bear the costs of tailoring an agreement to their particular case), will be prone to relinquish or …

Apuntes Sobre El Papel De La Voluntad En Los Negocios Jurídicos (Con Especial Referencia A Los Contratos), Leysser L. Leon

Leysser L. León

En este ensayo, escrito originalmente para un concurso convocado por la Dirección de Investigación de la PUCP (2001), se propone, a la luz de la codificación civil peruana, una revaloración del papel de la voluntad en la actividad negocial de los particulares; papel que, por décadas, ha sido cuestionado, relativizado y negado por las llamadas teorías "objetivas" (declaracionismo, normativismo, preceptivismo) importadas del derecho italiano y tan ampliamente cuanto inconscientemente difundidas en la bibliografía peruana.

Lessons For The Hague: Internet Jurisdiction In Contract And Tort Cases In The European Community And The United States, 23 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 1 (2004), Moritz Keller

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

With the increasing use of the Internet, all on-line users, web site owners, e-commerce companies and consumers alike, feel the need to be able to rely on clear standards for a potential contract or tort lawsuit following the Internet presence that could lead to multinational litigation. This goal could be achieved if the negotiations of the Hague Convention on international jurisdiction and enforcement of foreign judgments in civil and commercial matters succeed in harmonizing the rules of the different legal systems around the globe, or at least create a minimum standard for legal cases which would benefit greatly e-commerce and …

Treaties, Time Limits And Treasure Trove: The Legal Protection Of Cultural Objects In Singapore, Jack Tsen-Ta Lee Dec 2003

Treaties, Time Limits And Treasure Trove: The Legal Protection Of Cultural Objects In Singapore, Jack Tsen-Ta Lee

Jack Tsen-Ta LEE

This article considers the extent to which civil and criminal law in Singapore deters the unlawful removal of cultural objects from the possession of private owners, art galleries and museums, or from archaeological sites, and provides redress to victims. Given Singapore's position as the crossroads of Asia, the law must be able to cope with the flow of objects in and out of the country. The law is currently deficient as it is not tailored to deal with issues concerning cultural heritage, and needs to be reformed in several respects. There are sound reasons for a modern State like Singapore …
