The law of Equity, a latecomer to the field of private law theory, raises fundamental questions about the relationships between law and morality, the nature of rights, and the extent to which we are willing to compromise on the rule of law ideal to achieve social goals. In this volume, leading scholars come together to address these and other questions about underlying principles of Equity and its relationship to the common law: What relationships, if any, are there between the legal, philosophical, and moral senses of 'equity'? Does Equity form a second-order constraint on law? If so, is its operation at odds with the rule of law? Do the various theories of Equity require some kind of separation of law and equity-and, if they do, what kind of separation? The volume further sheds light on some of the most topical questions of jurisprudence that are embedded in the debate around 'fusion'. A noteworthy addition to the Philosophical Foundations series, this volume is an important contribution to an ongoing debate, and will be of value to students and scholars across the discipline.
Gregor Schmieder befasst sich in seiner Arbeit zunachst umfassend mit den Grundstrukturen zivilrechtlicher Beseitigungshaftung und findet dabei Verbindendes. Er leitet drei dogmatische Determinanten fur den Anwendungsbereich des lauterkeitsrechtlichen Beseitigungsanspruchs in seinem spezifisch verbraucherschutzenden Wirkbereich her. Dieses Fundament bildet den Rahmen fur eine nahere Konkretisierung von Inhalt und Haftungsarchitektur des verbraucherschutzenden Beseitigungsanspruchs des Lauterkeitsrechts sowie seiner Verortung im System lauterkeitsrechtlicher Rechtsdurchsetzung zum einen, im System zivilrechtlicher Beseitigungshaftung zum anderen. Der Begriff des Folgenbeseitigungsanspruchs wird im Zuge dessen entmystifiziert. Destillat der Auseinandersetzung mit den dogmatischen Grundlagen verbraucherschutzender Beseitigungshaftung im Lauterkeitsrecht ist der Nachweis der Fortgeltung des Regulierungsansatzes des Informationsmodells auf der Ebene der Durchsetzung des Rechts. Das Informationsmodell auf der Durchsetzungsebene ist ein Regulierungsansatz, den es zu verfolgen lohnt. Bereits jetzt findet dieser Regulierungsansatz in den einzelnen Fallgruppen verbraucherschutzender Beseitigungshaftung einen Anwendungsbereich.
Das prozessrechtliche Institut des amicus curiae ("Freund des Gerichts") hat insbesondere seit den 1990er Jahren eine Internationalisierung erfahren und Eingang in das Voelkerverfahrensrecht gefunden. Dieses Buch legt eine umfassende empirische Bestandsaufnahme der amicus curiae-Praxis einer reprasentativen Auswahl internationaler Gerichte vor und greift die organisierte Zivilgesellschaft als pragende Akteurin heraus. Unter Berucksichtigung gerichtsspezifischer Besonderheiten umfasst die Bestandsaufnahme die Rechtsgrundlagen und Beweggrunde sowie die bisherige Zulassungs- und Berucksichtigungspraxis und soll den theoretisch-konzeptionellen Debatten eine praktische Perspektive gegenuberstellen. Die anschliessende gerichtsvergleichende Betrachtung veranschaulicht den vor internationalen Gerichten etablierten Verfahrensstandard, den Einfluss der Stellungnahmen zivilgesellschaftlicher Organisationen auf die Rechtsprechung der internationalen Gerichte sowie die Arten, Funktionen und Potentiale zivilgesellschaftlicher amici curiae in internationalen Gerichtsverfahren.
The insolvency of states is by no means a rare or new phenomenon. Despite this, it still seems to be widely felt that states do not go bankrupt. As of yet, there are no regulated insolvency proceedings for states. This book examines the current mechanisms for solving sovereign debt crises. It presents an analysis of their weaknesses and shows possibilities for dealing with such crises in the future. In this respect, the work focusses on crisis resolution measures at European level: the aid packages for Greece, the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism, the European Financial Stabilisation Facility and the European Stability Mechanism. These are examined for their appropriateness as well as whether they contain elements of insolvency law. Ultimately, it explores possible insolvency proceedings for states at EU level and their implementation options.

This book examines how international investment arbitral awards can be facilitated. It sets out to achieve a fuller conceptualisation and theorisation of awards through a discussion of relevant issues and themes, as well as demonstrating how they can be achieved through a comparative approach that has been conceived and developed with reference to existing deficiencies in the research literature. This contribution is particularly important given the worldwide emergence of investment arbitration as a powerful form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). The book ultimately seeks to explore and develop solutions that can be directed to an existing oversight and deficit within the international investment architecture. In considering the advantages and disadvantages of each 'solution', it will work towards an approach best-suited to upholding the interest of the victorious party at the enforcement stage. The enforcement of arbitral awards on a voluntary basis has proven to be insufficient, and this created a real and ongoing shortcoming that needs to be addressed. International Investment Dispute Awards: Facilitating Enforcement therefore seeks to directly influence existing practice on the part of international institutions, with the intention of helping to develop a more effective resolution. The readerships for this book will include arbitration practitioners, policy-makers (including treaty drafters), academics and postgraduate students interested in the enforcement of investment arbitral awards.

Das Wechselspiel aus einseitiger Leistungsanderung und entsprechender Mehrvergutung (Einheitspreisneuberechnung) ist ein zentrales, uber Jahrzehnte eingehend diskutiertes Element der VOB/B. Das Sujet gewann mit dem 01.01.2018 neue Aktualitat, als mit der Novelle des Bauvertragsrechts des BGB zahlreiche Regelungen der VOB/B zum Teil adaptiert, zum Teil abweichend in das Gesetz Einzug fanden. Konkret jenes fur das BGB neue Leistungsanderungsrecht in 650b BGB und die im Verbund zu lesende Vorschrift des 650c BGB wurden nach dem Vorbild der VOB/B geschaffen. Das ohnehin nicht triviale Verhaltnis der VOB/B zum BGB ist fur den Bereich der Nachtrage wegen Leistungsanderungen ein damit aktuelles wie praxisrelevantes Thema, zu dessen Diskussion die vorliegende Abhandlung einen Beitrag leisten soll - insbesondere mit Blick auf die AGB-Kontrolle der einschlagigen VOB/B-Klauseln und die analoge Anwendbarkeit der novellierten Paragrafen des BGB zur sog. 80-Prozent-Regelung und dem einstweiligen Rechtsschutz ( 650d BGB). Zudem wird eine eigene Methodik zur Einheitspreisneuberechnung (Konsensmethode) vorgestellt.
In April 1861, President Abraham Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus along the military line between Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia. This allowed army officers to arrest and indefinitely detain persons who were interfering with military operations in the area. When John Merryman, a wealthy Marylander suspected of burning bridges to prevent the passage of U.S. troops to Washington, was detained in Fort McHenry, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, Roger Taney, declared the suspension of habeas corpus unconstitutional and demanded Merryman's immediate release. Lincoln defied Taney s order, offering his own forceful counter-argument for the constitutionality of his actions. Thus the stage was set for one of the most dramatic personal and legal confrontations the country has ever witnessed. "The Body of John Merryman" is the first book-length examination of this much-misunderstood chapter in American history. Brian McGinty captures the tension and uncertainty that surrounded the early months of the Civil War, explaining how Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus was first and foremost a military action that only subsequently became a crucial constitutional battle. McGinty's narrative brings to life the personalities that drove this uneasy standoff and expands our understanding of the war as a legal and not just a military, political, and social conflict. "The Body of John Merryman" is an extraordinarily readable book that illuminates the contours of one of the most significant cases in American legal history a case that continues to resonate in our own time.

Construction disputes by their very nature are often complex, sometimes multi-party disputes, many of which are not suited to either adjudication or traditional form of litigation (which are often slow, expensive and divisive). The sheer complexity of construction creates a compelling case for the introduction of alternative approaches within this adversarial industry. This book traces the history, development, current status and future direction of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in the UK construction industry. It draws on the largest collection of Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors-funded surveys on Scottish and English disputants' perceptions and attitudes to ADR. It includes an examination of the key legislative and regulatory principles relating to ADR in the Construction sphere. The study also evaluates the role and functions of the Technology and Construction Court (TCC) in England and, with reference to case law, identifies its facilitative approach to ADR. The coherence of the TCC's approach to issues such as refusal to resort to ADR is also examined. It will be a valuable reference work for scholars and practitioners in construction and the built environment, in the UK and internationally.
This collection brings together international experts to present a comparative analysis of wrongful conviction and criminal procedure. The volume takes an interdisciplinary approach with authors drawn from a broad range of backgrounds including law, psychology, forensics and journalism. All are experts in their field with direct experience of the investigation of wrongful conviction in their own countries. Focusing on the main areas of concern in their own jurisdiction, each author discusses common themes including: the extent of the problem; the types of cases that feature in miscarriages of justice; the legal mechanism for the correction of a wrongful conviction; compensation for the wrongly convicted; public awareness and concern about the issue generally and in light of high-profile cases; and the extent to which wrongful conviction has driven criminal justice reform. The book will be essential reading for students, researchers and policy-makers interested in Comparative Law, Criminology and Psychology.
