This book explores the performance of compensation law in
addressing the needs of the injured. Compensation procedure can be
dangerous to your health and may fail to compensate without
aggravation/creating other problems. This book takes a refreshing
and insightful approach to the law of compensation considering,
from an interdisciplinary perspective, the actual effect of
compensation law on people seeking compensation. Tort law, workers'
compensation, medical law, industrial injury law and other schemes
are examined and unintended consequences for injured people are
considered. These include ongoing physical and mental illness,
failure to rehabilitate, the impact on social security
entitlements, medical care as well as the impact on those who serve
- the lawyers, administrators, medical practitioners etc. All are
explored in this timely and fascinating book. The contributors
include lawyers, psychologists, and medical practitioners from
multiple jurisdictions including Australia, the Netherlands,
Canada, Italy and the UK.
Bulgarian private law has always been at crossroads: it has diverse
influences from both Western and Eastern Europe, and it has seen
many turning points because of Bulgaria's tumultuous past,
including a communist regime. This book examines its fascinating
and turbulent development from the end of the 19th century to the
present day and highlights its distinctive features from a
comparative perspective. Its main goal is to foster a better
understanding of the current messy state of Bulgarian private law
particularly the law of obligations and property law and an
appreciation for its rich heritage.The book begins by reflecting on
why the study of Bulgarian private law is worthwhile. Literature in
the English language on East European laws, especially on Bulgarian
law, is scarce. Beyond responding to a gap in knowledge, the author
argues that research into Bulgarian law may challenge the
traditional taxonomies of comparative law, enrich the understanding
of the common lawcivil law divide, showcase the importance of
context in legal development, and help address the difficulties of
harmonisation of law in the EU. Subsequently, the book provides an
overview of the scattered sources of Bulgarian private law, since
Bulgaria does not have a civil code. It also traces the turbulent
history of Bulgarian private law over the past century and a half
to shed light on how the unexpected vibrant patchwork observed
today came to be, and shatters myths about Bulgarian law spread due
to years of communist censorship. The author then explains the
complex fabric of Bulgarian contract law which emerges from
legislation, scholarly writing and case law, surveys the hazy
realms of tort and unjust enrichment, and examines the fascinating
transformations of the right to property which required the
re-invention of property law twice over the past 100 years. This is
followed by a discussion on whether a reform of Bulgarian private
law, including the enactment of a civil code, is necessary, as well
as an evaluation of Bulgarian private law's preparedness to help
tackle the challenges of the 21st century, such as the
digitalisation of trade, environmental problems, the protection of
human rights, and the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Finally, the book recommends and explains, in context, literature
for those willing to broaden their understanding of Bulgarian
private law. Bulgarian Private Law at Crossroads is written for
students, academics, and practitioners interested in comparative
law, as well as for any open-minded jurist wishing to discover more
about the Bulgarian legal culture.
As a Facebook moderator, Chris Gray made a living looking at
graphically violent images and reviewing some of the internet's
most toxic debates. Following a short training induction, he was
responsible for deciding what material could remain online and what
needed to be removed. Years later, the psychological trauma of the
things he had seen hit him like a ton of bricks. He was eventually
diagnosed with PTSD. In this eye-opening book, Chris recounts his
quest to hold the behemoth Facebook to account for his PTSD - a
journey that would ultimately lead him to take legal action against
one of the world's most powerful corporations. The Moderator is
both a story of the mental health fallout from this very new type
of job and an exploration of some of the most important questions
in the 21st century: when everybody has a direct communications
channel with everybody else in the world, what should people be
allowed to say, when is it okay to silence them - and who decides?

Die deutsche Wirtschaft wird traditionell von mittelstandischen
Unternehmen getragen. Viele dieser Unternehmen werden von
traditionsbewussten Familienunternehmern gefuhrt. Diese wollen auch
nach ihrem Ausstieg erreichen, dass "ihr" Unternehmen von der
nachsten Generation, insbesondere den eigenen Kindern, fortgefuhrt
wird. Der Generationenwechsel ist eine grosse Herausforderung, da
er in der Regel von zahlreichen gesellschaftsrechtlichen und
steuerrechtlichen Fragestellungen sowie familieninternen
Auseinandersetzungen begleitet wird. Der Autor untersucht, ob die
Unterbeteiligung als mittelbare Beteiligungsform dazu geeignet ist,
praktikable Antworten bezuglich des Generationenwechsels zu geben
und damit die Unternehmensnachfolge in mittelstandischen
Unternehmen zu optimieren.
