The European Union and its Court of Justice (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition): Anthony Arnull The European Union and its Court of Justice (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)
Anthony Arnull
R1,986 Discovery Miles 19 860 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The European Court of Justice has played a major role in the development of what is now the European Union, but the way the Court has used its powers have been highly controversial. The new edition of this book examines the contribution of the Court in shaping the legal framework within which the EU operates. It considers the Court's place among the Union's institutions; its organization and working methods; what its powers are; how it has used those powers to resolve important questions of both constitutional and substantive law; and certain general questions relating to its overall approach. Throughout, the implications of the Union's Constitutional Treaty, signed by the Member States in Rome in October 2004 are taken fully into account.

Rethinking Evidence - Exploratory Essays (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition): William Twining Rethinking Evidence - Exploratory Essays (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)
William Twining
R1,861 Discovery Miles 18 610 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The Law of Evidence has traditionally been perceived as a dry, highly technical, and mysterious subject. This book argues that problems of evidence in law are closely related to the handling of evidence in other kinds of practical decision-making and other academic disciplines, that it is closely related to common sense and that it is an interesting, lively and accessible subject. These essays develop a readable, coherent historical and theoretical perspective about problems of proof, evidence, and inferential reasoning in law. Although each essay is self-standing, they are woven together to present a sustained argument for a broad inter-disciplinary approach to evidence in litigation, in which the rules of evidence play a subordinate, though significant, role. This revised and enlarged edition includes a revised introduction, the best-known essays in the first edition, and new chapters on narrative and argumentation, teaching evidence, and evidence as a multi-disciplinary subject.

"Arzthaftung - Rechtspraxis und Perspektiven" versammelt Beitrage zu den Veranderungen des Arzthaftungsprozesses. Als roter Faden durchzieht sie das Problem der materiellen Gerechtigkeit.

Kritisch beleuchtet werden Veranderungen, wie die Beschlussverwerfung durch das Berufungsgericht ohne Moglichkeit eines Rechtsbehelfs. Diskutiert wird die Ausweitung wechselseitiger Auskunftspflichten. Der "grobe Behandlungsfehler" steht haufig im Brennpunkt prozessualer Auseinandersetzungen. Diese Rechtsfigur ist jedoch bisher eher deskriptiv als rechtsdogmatisch erfasst. Die Qualitat eines Behandlungsfehlers als Beweisthema ist noch nicht ausreichend erkannt worden.

Der Beitrag uber neue Entwicklungen beim Sachverstandigenbeweis im Arzthaftungsrecht gibt Hinweise zur Sicherung der Qualitat der Begutachtung. Er berucksichtigt die durch das erste Justizmodernisierungsgesetz geschaffenen Veranderungen. Eine Analyse der Schmerzensgeldrechtsprechung in Deutschland ordnet diese rechtsdogmatisch ein und setzt sie in den europaischen Kontext."

Jochen Theurer erforscht in diesem essential eine interessante neue Handlungsoption fur die schnelle Einfuhrung effektiver Klimaschutzmassnahmen. Charmant, informativ und realistisch.

Courting Violence - Offences Against the Person Cases in Court (Hardcover): Nigel Fielding Courting Violence - Offences Against the Person Cases in Court (Hardcover)
Nigel Fielding

Courting violence analyses how the courts handle cases of physical violence. It examines how lawyers and judges go about questioning defendants, witnesses and victims, how testimony and physical evidence is used, what victims, witnesses and defendants think of the trial process, and the views of lay and professional participants about violent offences. The book is based on original fieldwork at criminal trials and interviews with those involved. It is known that courtroom language, and the handling of evidence, influences the outcome of cases, and that those unfamiliar with the courts may feel bewildered and intimidated by courtroom language and procedures. The book examines the workings of such processes in cases of physical violence, with careful attention to assumptions made by lawyers, judges and others as they relate to gender, social class, ethnicity, and people exhibiting patterns of behaviour, such as young men who drink heavily in groups. Key findings examine lay participants' understanding of courtroom procedure and language, satisfaction with their ability to participate competently, and willingness to assist the courts again. The book profiles the frustrations caused by the restricted role granted lay participants in trials, and reports problems concerning the experience of minority ethnic groups. Other themes include resource problems; the potential to improve proceedings by technological means; the role of the police, expert witnesses and interpreters; and variations in approaches to the judicial role. Understandings of violence are treated as contingent and legally-reified, and victimisation as a negotiated process. Using accessible and engaging data the book shows readers the contemporary practice of criminal trials in the crown courts, highlights some of the most contentious and sensitive problems in criminal justice, and suggests improvements. It functions both as an accessible overview of the work of the courts and an insight into how society deals with serious crime.

The Impact of Human Rights Law on Armed Forces (Paperback): Peter Rowe The Impact of Human Rights Law on Armed Forces (Paperback)
Peter Rowe
R1,134 Discovery Miles 11 340 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book considers those aspects of human rights law which may become relevant to the activities of armed forces whether they remain in barracks, undertake training or are deployed in military operations within their own state or outside it. The unique nature of military service and of military courts gives rise to human rights issues in respect both of civilians and soldiers, whether volunteers or conscripts, who find themselves before these courts. Rowe examines these issues as well as the application of international humanitarian law alongside the human rights obligations of the state when forces are training for and involved in armed conflict; where armed forces are deployed in situations of civil disorder; and where states contribute armed forces to multinational forces. An invaluable resource for scholars in human rights, international law and military studies, and anyone concerned with policy relevant to the armed forces.

Roel Van Leuken
R2,354 Discovery Miles 23 540 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Private law and private law relationships in Member States of the European Union are increasingly influenced by EU law. Sometimes, this influence is predictable, for instance because EU law provides expressly that violation of a rule shall produce a specific private law effect (Article 101(2) TFEU). Less predictable are the consequences where the Court of Justice interprets provisions of EU law ostensibly addressed to the Member States such as creating, modifying or extinguishing rights and obligations in legal relationships between individuals. Since 1974 the Court has given interpretations to such direct horizontal effect to some of the TFEU provisions on free movement.Private Law and the Internal Market seeks to establish the links between the relevant judgments and, by analysing them in the context of the various mechanisms used by EU law to influence national private law, considers whether the Court's approach to one free movement provision can be predictive of other free movement provisions and if so, to what extent.It also discusses the impact which accepting direct horizontal effect has on the grounds that must be available to individuals as a defence to alleged infringement of a free movement provision.

Unjust Enrichment (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition): Peter Birks Unjust Enrichment (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)
Peter Birks
R1,953 Discovery Miles 19 530 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This new edition of Unjust Enrichment by the editor of the Clarendon Law Series, is a fully updated, clear and concise account of the law of unjust enrichment. It attempts to move away from the use of obscure terminology inherited from the past. This text is the first book to insist on the switch from restitution to unjust enrichment, from response to event. It organises modern law around five simple questions: Was the defendant enriched? If so, was it at the claimant's expense? If so, was it unjust? The fourth question is then what kind of right the claimant has, and the fifth is whether the defendant has any defences. This second edition was revised and updated by Peter Birks before his death from cancer on 6 July 2004 at the age of 62. It represents the final thinking of the world's leading authority on the subject.

This book brings together the 2011 output of the American Law Institute (ALI) project on World Trade Organization law. Each chapter focuses on a different dispute from the adjudicating bodies of the WTO. Each case is jointly evaluated by well-known experts in trade law and international economics. ALI reporters critically review the jurisprudence of WTO adjudicating bodies and evaluate whether the ruling 'makes sense' from an economic as well as a legal point of view and, if not, whether the problem lies in the interpretation of the law or the law itself. The studies do not always cover all issues discussed in a case, but they seek to discuss both the procedural and the substantive issues that form, in the reporters' views, the 'core' of the dispute. This paperback will be an invaluable resource for students, lecturers and practitioners of international trade law.

R1,808 Discovery Miles 18 080 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Forschung am Patienten ist in den Kliniken tagliche Praxis, auch an Minderjahrigen, bei niedrigeren Heilungschancen. Forschende Arzte stehen vor dem Dilemma, dass Minderjahrige oft nicht in der Lage sind, selbstbestimmt in Versuche einzuwilligen. Zahlreiche Gesetze und Richtlinien bemuhen sich um eine Losung, insbesondere in der Beschrankung der Forschungsfreiheit.

Ob und in welchem Umfang Beschrankungen gerechtfertigt sind, muss auf dem verfassungsrechtlichen Wege geklart werden. Schranken der Forschungsfreiheit wie die Menschenwurde oder das Selbstbestimmungsrecht des Kindes mussen durch den Forschungsversuch zunachst beruhrt werden. Erst dann stellt sich die schwierige Frage einer interessengerechten Abgrenzung. Der Blick muss hierbei klar auf den Schutz des Minderjahrigen gerichtet sein, als schwachstem Glied unserer Gesellschaft."

Das Buch befasst sich mit der Weiterverwendung von Koerpersubstanzen. Insbesondere wird die Frage beantwortet, welche Bedeutung das Persoenlichkeitsrecht des Substanztragers fur die Weiterverwendung von Koerpersubstanzen durch die medizinische Industrie sowie durch die Forschung hat. Das Buch geht von einem besonderen Persoenlichkeitsrecht des Substanztragers an seinem biologischen Material aus (das sog. Recht auf bio-materielle Selbstbestimmung). Daruber hinaus wird auch die eigentumsrechtliche Position an biologischem Material beleuchtet. Im letzten Abschnitt wird untersucht, welche zivilrechtlichen Folgen aus einer unbefugten Nutzung biologischen Materials resultieren. Das Buch eroertert, welche Moeglichkeiten fur den Verwender von biologischem Material bestehen, Koerpersubstanzen zu nutzen, ohne sich zivilrechtlichen Anspruchen des Substanztragers ausgesetzt zu sehen. UEberdies wird auch die Frage einer moeglichen Lizenzierung der Nutzung von Koerpersubstanzen ausfuhrlich diskutiert.

Aufgrund der zunehmenden Internationalisierung des Rechtsverkehrs gewinnt das Internationale Privatrecht in der Praxis immer groessere Bedeutung. Gleichwohl existierte bislang kein einbandiger Kommentar, der sich allein mit dem Internationalen Privatrecht beschaftigt. Der Kommentar behandelt das gesamte deutsche Internationale Privatrecht. Im Vordergrund stehen die Vorschriften der Art. 3-46 EGBGB. Es werden aber auch die Rechtsquellen des IPR ausserhalb des EGBGB sowie die wichtigsten staatsvertraglichen Regelungen berucksichtigt. Ausserdem wird jeweils auf verfahrensrechtliche Fragen eingegangen. Das Werk richtet sich in erster Linie an Praktiker, ist jedoch auch fur Studierende und Referendare von Interesse.

Sterbehilfe ist ein Thema, das nicht nur national kontrovers diskutiert, sondern stets im Vergleich zu den Erfahrungen von anderen Landern gesehen wird. Die Arbeit systematisiert die verschiedenen Begriffe zur Sterbehilfe in zehn europaischen Landern, vergleicht sowohl die Rechtsprechung und die Gesetze zu Suizid, Beihilfe zum Suizid und Sterbehilfe als auch die jeweiligen standesethischen Vorschriften. Entscheidungen am Lebensende sind jedoch auch in einen historischen, religioesen und philosophischen Hintergrund eingebettet. Fallbeispiele aus dem klinischen Alltag mit den Moeglichkeiten und Grenzen von Technik vervollstandigen das Bild.

Wahrend eine Vielzahl spezieller, klar abgegrenzter Materien insbesondere des Wirtschaftsrechts aufgrund von Verordnungen oder aufgrund von in nationales Recht umgesetzter Richtlinien der Europaischen Gemeinschaft' eine weitgehende Angleichung erfahren hat, kann dies fiir das allgemeine Zivil- und Handelsrecht nicht in gleichem Masse festgestellt werden.

R4,610 Discovery Miles 46 100 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

While the law of evidence has dominated jurisprudential treatment of the subject, evidence is in truth a multi-disciplinary subject. This book is a collection of materials concerned not only with the law of evidence, but also with the logical and rhetorical aspects of proof; the epistemology of evidence as a basis for the proof of disputed facts; and scientific aspects of the subject. The editor raises issues such as the philosophical basis for the use of evidence; whether courtroom proof is essentially mathematical or non-mathematical; and the use of different theories of probability in legal reasoning.

In Praise of Litigation (Paperback): Alexandra Lahav In Praise of Litigation (Paperback)
Alexandra Lahav
R710 Discovery Miles 7 100 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

While the right to have one's day in court is a cherished feature of the American democratic system, alarms that the United States is hopelessly litigious and awash in frivolous claims have become ubiquitous. According to this view, litigation wastes precious resources, stifles innovation and productivity, and corrodes our social fabric and the national character. Calls for reform have sought, often successfully, to limit people's access to the court system. Alexandra Lahav's In Praise of Litigation provides a much needed corrective to this flawed perspective, reminding us of the irreplaceable role of litigation in a well-functioning democracy and debunking many of the myths that cloud our understanding of this role. Exploring cases involving freedom of speech, foodborne illness, defective cars, business competition, and more, the book shows that despite its inevitable limitations, litigation empowers citizens to challenge the most powerful public and private interests and hold them accountable for their actions. In Praise of Litigation shows how our court system protects our liberties and enables civil society to flourish, and serves as a powerful reminder of why we need to protect people's access to justice.
