Das Buch stellt das aktuelle nationale Tierversuchsrecht ausfuhrlich dar. Berucksichtigt werden dabei vor allem die Umsetzung der Richtlinie 2010/63/EU in das deutsche Tierschutzgesetz und die Neuerungen, die das nationale Tierversuchsrecht hierdurch erfahren hat. Aufgezeigt werden neben der Beurteilung vormals bestehender rechtlicher Streitpunkte, beispielsweise des Umfangs der Prufungskompetenz der Genehmigungsbehoerden, auch Falle der unzureichenden sowie der mangelnden Umsetzung der Vorgaben der Richtlinie 2010/63/EU. Insofern werden sowohl die richtlinienkonforme Auslegung nationaler Regelungen, als auch eine unmittelbare Wirkung einzelner Richtlinienvorschriften untersucht. Schliesslich wird die Verfassungsmassigkeit bestimmter nationaler Regelungen analysiert, dies betrifft insbesondere das relative Verbot schwerst belastender Tierversuche sowie Verwendungsverbote- und beschrankungen in Bezug auf Primaten und Menschenaffen.

Die Untersuchung zum Rechtsmissbrauch und seinen konkreten Erscheinungen beruht auf ca. 800 Gerichtsentscheidungen, vornehmlich des Bundesverfassungsgerichts, Bundesverwaltungsgerichts und des Bundessozialgerichts, sowie auf ca. 750 Literaturquellen.

Due to the global influence of the shareholder-centered model of the US, both China and the EU have taken more measures to protect minority shareholders. In this respect, the representation of minority shareholders on the board, in particular the system of cumulative voting which was originally designed by the US to protect minority shareholders, has become a frequently-discussed issue in China and the EU. This study of comparative law is based upon the comparison of the attitudes among the US, China and the EU towards cumulative voting. By analyzing some empirical investigations and massive literatures of American academics as the theoretical foundation, it tries to demonstrate whether the convergence of corporate governance towards the shareholder-centered model is inevitable.

This book gathers Polish and foreign scholars to consider diverse aspects of Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). It examines key general areas such as the improvement of the position of the negotiating parties in the world economy, in politics and in international organisations. The contributors analyze possible acceleration of non-discriminatory liberalisation negotiations, creation of new international standards or reducing regulatory differences, such as "Investor-state dispute settlement" (ISDS), public health, geographical indications. The contributions focus also on specific issues, such as the impact of TTIP on Polish and EU economy, on merchandise and services trade, energy supply, research and development, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), or on the third parties.

Learning Sales provides comprehensive treatment of UCC Article 2 while employing strategies designed to help students both learn the course material and develop the skill of reading and understanding statutes. The book also includes coverage of Article 2A and the CISG, which may be taught as separate units or in comparative fashion. The subject matter is presented in 27 assignments, each with targeted "reading the code" questions to help students master the statutory text, examples of how courts apply the Code, and numerous problems for students to test their understanding and skill. Learning Sales is both a new volume in the Learning series and an extensive update and revision of the popular Chomsky & Kunz, Sale of Goods: Reading and Applying the Code (2d ed.). As in the previous volume, the book invites students to learn the UCC by actively reading and analyzing the language of Article 2 themselves, rather than relying more passively on what others (judges and commentators) have said about the Code. Judicial opinions appear only where they are most pedagogically appropriate and are edited to target salient points. Each opinion excerpt is preceded by questions about the case to help students be more focused in their reading and class preparation. Students enjoy the focus on problem-solving and can see their skill at reading and interpreting the Code improve as they engage with the examples and problems. Consistent with the rest of the Learning series, the book draws further upon current learning theory and practice by articulating key concepts for each section and specific learning outcomes for each assignment. The authors of the original book (Carol Chomsky and Christina Kunz) have been joined by Jennifer Martin, who writes the annual survey of sales cases in the Business Lawyer, and Elizabeth Schiltz, an experienced teacher of Sales, Contracts, and Payment Systems. The Teachers' Manual includes answers to all questions and problems posed in the book and includes additional information to help instructors use the book most effectively.

Stephan Sadtler untersucht neben den datenschutzrechtlichen Voraussetzungen des Umgangs mit Identitatsdaten im Cloud Computing insbesondere die Anforderungen an den Einsatz des neuen Personalausweises, die sich aus dem Personalausweisrecht ergeben, sowie damit verbundene Beweisfragen. Technische Grundlage der Untersuchung bildet die Referenzarchitektur des Trusted-Cloud Forschungsprojektes SkIDentity, die eine Brucke zwischen unterschiedlichen Identitats-Diensten einerseits und unterschiedlichen Cloud-Diensten andererseits schlagt. Der Autor geht durchgangig auf die europarechtlichen Vorgaben im allgemeinen Datenschutzrecht und im Recht bezuglich elektronischer Ausweise ein.
