Contract Law: Trends And Shifts In 2010, Dr. Yehuda Adar
Contract Law: Trends And Shifts In 2010, Dr. Yehuda Adar
Yehuda Adar Dr.
-This Article is in Hebrew- This paper presents an overview of some of the main developments in the general body of contract law in Israel during the 2009-2010 law-year and examines their possible impact on the rights of contracting parties. The author claims that these developments reflect a general pattern that characterized Israeli contract law in recent decades: On the one hand, a continuous, step-by-step progress is observed in numerous cases in which the Supreme Court introduced minor changes into existing rules or made an effort to clarify and improve the existing doctrine. Such developments are seen, for example, in …

Restitution, Compensation, Accumulation Of Remedies And Freedom Of Contract (An Analysis Of Supreme Court Civil Appeal No. 4630/04, Rendered 13.12.2006), Dr. Yehuda Adar, Dr. Moshe Gelbard
Yehuda Adar Dr.
- This article is in Hebrew- This article examines focal issues in the law of remedies, in light of the Supreme Court judgment in the case of Kanyonin Nechasim uVinyan Ltd. v. Beney Ya'acov (2006). The case involved a contract for the sale of land. The contract empowered the seller, in case of termination following a fundamental breach by the buyer, to keep certain amounts of money paid under the contract and, in addition, to demand liquidated damages for the same breach. The main issue concerned the right of the seller, who terminated the contract and regained possession of the …

From Energy Sector Inquiry To Recent Antitrust Decisions In European Energy Markets: Competition Law As A Means To Implement Energy Sector Regulation In Eu, Michael Diathesopoulos
From Energy Sector Inquiry To Recent Antitrust Decisions In European Energy Markets: Competition Law As A Means To Implement Energy Sector Regulation In Eu, Michael Diathesopoulos
Michael Diathesopoulos
This paper presents the conceptual path followed by European Union, European Commission and European Competition Network, after the Energy Sector Inquiry (2007) towards the realisation of the objective of an Energy Internal Market, fully functional and open to competition. Firstly, we examine the findings of Sector Inquiry and then we describe how the Third Energy Package - that followed - tried to address the issues highlighted by the Inquiry and how Third Energy Package introduces a promising but complex system, in order to develop sector rules. Following the above, we proceed to a brief but close examination of 10 recent …
Relational Contract Theory And Management Contracts: A Paradigm For The Application Of The Theory Of The Norms, Michael Diathesopoulos
Relational Contract Theory And Management Contracts: A Paradigm For The Application Of The Theory Of The Norms, Michael Diathesopoulos
Michael Diathesopoulos
This paper examines management contracts as a paradigm for the application of relational contracts theory and especially of the theory of contractual and relational norms. This theory, deriving from Macauley's implications, but structured and analysed by I.R. MacNeil gives us a framework for the explanation and understanding of contractual obligations and business relations' rules and practice. After presenting the key literature about the norms theory and especially defining the content of MacNeil's norms, we define management contracts as relations, characterised by a high relational element and we explain why, investigating all their features, which make them a suitable object for …
False Imprisonment As A Tort In India, Hari Priya
False Imprisonment As A Tort In India, Hari Priya
Hari Priya
The tort of false imprisonment is one of the most severe forms of human rights violation, and this paper aims to define and to understand the concept of false imprisonment as a tort in India. It also seeks to know about the evolution of the notion of false imprisonment as a tort, with reference to Indian and foreign cases, and understand who and when can one be held liable for the tort of false imprisonment. It further deals with the remedies available for the said tort.

Failed Synallagmatic Contracts : Appraisal Of The Maxim "The Party Who Has Control And Can Insure Against The Loss Should Shoulder The Risk", Aimite Jorge
Aimite Jorge
The current position in South African law on enrichment situations arising from "failed agreements" is that "if you have received a performance in terms of a contract which subsequently fails for whatever reason, you give it back if you still have it; if you cannot give it back, you are absolved, unless you were culpable in relation to the loss". Daniel Visser, however, challenges this approach and proposes a new one in his recently published book, Unjustified Enrichment (2008). This article evaluates both this position and the newly suggested approach and it argues that in cases of failed synallagmatic contracts …
Contributory Negligence And Mitigation: Shall The Two Walk Together?, Dr. Yehuda Adar
Contributory Negligence And Mitigation: Shall The Two Walk Together?, Dr. Yehuda Adar
Yehuda Adar Dr.
-This Article is in Hebrew-
This paper discusses and critically examines the close interrelations of two of the main defences to liability in damages for torts and breach of contract. After a careful analysis of the various similarities between the doctrines of contributory (or comparative) negligence and mitigation of damages, and the basic difference between the two, the article reaches the conclusion that there is no justification for the ongoing existence of the mitigation doctrine. It should be abolished, and the doctrine of comparative negligence should be adopted across the board in both tort law and contract law.
Legal Engineering In Israeli Law: Codification And Unification Of The Law Of Remedies, Dr. Yehuda Adar
Legal Engineering In Israeli Law: Codification And Unification Of The Law Of Remedies, Dr. Yehuda Adar
Yehuda Adar Dr.
Legal engineering is the process of designing, constructing and finally implementing means to influence the development of a legal system. In Israel, a relatively young legal system, the concepts of legal engineering and comparative law are deeply interconnected. This interconnection is best reflected in the area of private law. The development of this area of the law, almost since the very inception of the State of Israel, has been characterized by a careful and attentive examination of foreign legal regimes, national and supra-national alike. This was done with the explicit intention of benefiting from the wisdom and experience of older, …

New Governance In The Teeth Of Human Frailty: Lessons From Financial Regulation, Cristie L. Ford
New Governance In The Teeth Of Human Frailty: Lessons From Financial Regulation, Cristie L. Ford
Cristie L. Ford
New Governance scholarship has made important theoretical and practical contributions to a broad range of regulatory arenas, including securities and financial markets regulation. In the wake of the global financial crisis, question about the scope of possibilities for this scholarship are more pressing than ever. Is new governance a full-blown alternative to existing legal structures, or is it a useful complement? Are there essential preconditions to making it work, or can a new governance strategy improve any decision making structure? If there are essential preconditions, what are they? Is new governance “modular” – that is, does it still confer benefits …
No Bueno, Buono: An Essay On Salazar V. Buono And Establishment Clause Remedies, David B. Owens
No Bueno, Buono: An Essay On Salazar V. Buono And Establishment Clause Remedies, David B. Owens
David B. Owens
Atop Sunrise Rock in the Mojave Desert sat a Latin Cross. The only problem, for some, was that this land happened to be owned by the federal government. After contentious litigation, the cross was deemed a violation of the Establishment Clause, and the district court issued an injunction forbidding the cross to remain. That judgment became final and unreviewable, but the district court’s subsequent remedial action—declaring invalid Congress’ attempt to sell only a small “donut” of land around the cross—was not. Congress’ interesting end-around spawned further litigation and an order by the district court modifying the injunction despite the fact …
Green Building Contracts: Considering The Roles Of Consequential Damages & Limitation Of Liability Provisions, Darren Prum, Stephen Del Percio
Green Building Contracts: Considering The Roles Of Consequential Damages & Limitation Of Liability Provisions, Darren Prum, Stephen Del Percio
Darren A. Prum
The green building market continues to grow, but so do the corresponding legal risks which are only now being explored by scholars and practitioners. Lurking in the shadows behind any green building risk management strategy is how consequential damages - damages which may flow from a party's breach of a design, construction, or consulting contract - should be allocated among project stakeholders. This allocation is particularly critical on green building projects, whose unique and novel nature can create an increased potential for consequential damages. For example, green building tax credits, premium rents, and even energy savings might fall within the …
Tribal Land Laws In Andhra Pradesh, Hari Priya
Section 4 Of The Hindu Succession Act Of 1956, Hari Priya
Section 4 Of The Hindu Succession Act Of 1956, Hari Priya
Hari Priya
A brief write up in the form of a comprehensive article aiming to critically evaluate the Section 4 of the Hindu Succession Act of 1956. The law, as it stands amended, has not only brought about changes in the succession laws of Hindus, but has also paved the way for some positive modifications in the law of partition, alienation of property, inheritance and adoption, and the paper is an effort to evaluate this provision of the law.

The Legal And Practical Aspects Of Atm's In Tanzania, Daudi Mwita Nyamaka Mr.
The Legal And Practical Aspects Of Atm's In Tanzania, Daudi Mwita Nyamaka Mr.
Daudi Mwita Nyamaka Mr.
The concern of our study was to examine the legal and practical aspects of ATMs in Tanzania. The major problems that were being examined are; the 24 hours operation on ATMs vis-à-vis system failure or error and the system of one bank allowing cardholders of another bank to use its ATMs. With the first problem, all banks in Tanzania with ATMs have attractive advertisements to customers that affirm sufficient services in any time of the day but in reality, the machines usually fail to respond the instructions of the cardholder regardless the fact that the cardholder inserts the card and …
Recent Private International Law Developments Before The Supreme Court Of Canada, Antonin I. Pribetic
Recent Private International Law Developments Before The Supreme Court Of Canada, Antonin I. Pribetic
Antonin I. Pribetic
A trilogy of interesting cases involving private international law recently wended their way to the Supreme Court of Canada: (1) King v. Drabinsky (an Ontario case addressing the applicability of the Charter in respect of the enforcement of a foreign judgment); (2) Teck Cominco Metals Ltd. v. Lloyd's Underwriters (a British Columbia case involving declaratory relief in the context of parallel proceedings and forum non conveniens); and (3) Yugraneft v. Rexx Management Corporation (an Alberta case which affirmed that the two-year limitation period under s.3 of Alberta's Limitations Act, governs when a party seeks the recognition and enforcement in Alberta …
不当利得に関するヨーロッパ法?共通参照枠草案における原状快復法の批判的考察, Jan M. Smits
不当利得に関するヨーロッパ法?共通参照枠草案における原状快復法の批判的考察, Jan M. Smits
Jan M Smits
This contribution discusses the European principles on unjustified enrichment as recently published in the Draft Common Frame of Reference (2008). These principles (or rather: model rules) were drafted with a view to the improvement and elaboration of the present European acquis in the field of private law. This contribution considers not so much the substantive details of the new model rules, but more the need for and the function of drafting principles in this area of the law. This is a legitimate approach as the law of restitution is traditionally not a core area of European legislative intervention. It is …

Federalism At The Cathedral: Property Rules, Liability Rules, And Inalienability Rules In Tenth Amendment Infrastructure, Erin Ryan
Erin Ryan
As climate change, war in the Middle East, and the price of oil focus American determination to move beyond fossil fuels, nuclear power has resurfaced as a possible alternative. But energy reform efforts may be stalled by an unlikely policy deadlock stemming from a structural technicality in an aging Supreme Court decision: New York v. United States, which set forth the Tenth Amendment anti-commandeering rule and ushered in the New Federalism era in 1992. This dry technicality also poses ongoing regulatory obstacles in such critical interjurisdictional contexts as stormwater management, climate regulation, and disaster response. Such is the enormous power …
The Tort Of Betrayal Of Trust, Caroline Forell, Anna Sortun
The Tort Of Betrayal Of Trust, Caroline Forell, Anna Sortun
Caroline A Forell
Fiduciary betrayal is a serious harm. When the fiduciary is a doctor or a lawyer, and the entrustor is a patient or client, this harm frequently goes unremedied. Betrayals arise out of disloyalty and conflicts of interest where the lawyer or doctor puts his or her interest above that of his or her client or patient. It causes dignitary harm that is different from the harm flowing from negligent malpractice. Nevertheless, courts, concerned with overdeterrence, have for the most part refused to allow a separate claim for betrayal. In this Article, we suggest that betrayal deserves a remedy and propose …
Alternative State Remedies In Constitutional Torts, John F. Preis
Alternative State Remedies In Constitutional Torts, John F. Preis
John F. Preis
In recent years, a subtle shift in constitutional tort doctrine has quietly begun to take root. In Bivens actions, the Supreme Court has recently implied that constitutional tort plaintiffs must seek relief under state law when it is available, rather than invoke their federal constitutional rights. This marks a dramatic change from past practices. For much of the twentieth century, a central premise in the constitutional tort field has been that the federal remedy is “supplementary” to the state remedy; constitutional tort plaintiffs have therefore been permitted to seek a remedy under federal law without regard to the availability of …
The Law Of Remedies In A Mixed Jurisdiction: The Israeli Experience, Dr. Yehuda Adar, Prof. Gabriela Shalev
The Law Of Remedies In A Mixed Jurisdiction: The Israeli Experience, Dr. Yehuda Adar, Prof. Gabriela Shalev
Yehuda Adar Dr.
Remedies for Breach of an Obligation - this is the title of the section on remedies in the Israeli Draft Civil Code. Its objective is to create a unified and comprehensive statutory scheme for awarding remedies in all branches of private law (civil and commercial).
This development is no doubt of significant interest to the Israeli lawyer. However, for a number of reasons, acquaintance with this law reform should be of value to legal comparatists in many other jurisdictions. First, from a comparative perspective the present state of the law of remedies in Israel, as well as the forthcoming reform …

¡30,000 Dólares Por Daños Morales En Un Divorcio! De Cómo El "Daño Al Proyecto De Vida" Continúa Inflando Peligrosamente Los Resarcimientos, Leysser L. Leon
Leysser L. León
De un tiempo a esta parte, los tribunales civiles de Lima vienen concediendo resarcimientos a ciegas, sobre la base del artículo 345-A del Código Civil peruano, en el cual se obliga al magistrado, a "velar por la estabilidad del cónyuge perjudicado" en los casos de separación de hecho, ya señalando una "indemnización", ya ordenando la "adjudicación preferente de bienes de la sociedad conyugal".
En este comentario de jurisprudencia se explica por qué es equivocado asociar la "indemnización" referida en dicha norma con la responsabilidad civil, y se brindan elementos para su correcto enfoque como importante manifestación de la solidaridad familiar.

Why Unify Contract And Tort Remedies? A Reply To Professor Dagan, Dr. Yehuda Adar
Why Unify Contract And Tort Remedies? A Reply To Professor Dagan, Dr. Yehuda Adar
Yehuda Adar Dr.
-This Article is in Hebrew-
The remedies section in the Israeli draft civil code attempts to create a unified law of remedies for the breach of any civil obligation, including originating in tort law and contract law. In his article, "The Risks of Codification: On Over-Coherence and Multiplicity of Remedies", Professor Dagan forcefully criticizes this attempt. The present article demonstrates that the two main criticisms raised by Dagan - against the unification of remedies and against the attempt to fortify the remedial response to breach of civil obligations - are unconvincing, from both a theoretical and a pragmatic point of …
