Die Autorin behandelt in dieser Arbeit die Lehre von der Geschaftsgrundlage, wie sie sich im 20. Jahrhundert entwickelt hat und durch das Schuldrechtsmodernisierungsgesetz kodifiziert worden ist. Auch die Vorlaufer der Geschaftsgrundlagenlehre, namlich die Lehre von der Voraussetzung von Windscheid und die sogenannte clausula rebus sic stantibus, kommen zur Sprache. Ferner wird die Auspragung durch Oertmann und die Rechtsprechung des Reichsgerichts zu verschiedenen Fallgruppen der Geschaftsgrundlagenproblematik behandelt: Wahrungsverfall, Zweckvereitelung und Irrtumsfalle. Die Rechtsprechung des Bundesgerichtshofs wird mit den einzelnen Urteilen eingehend vorgestellt und analysiert. Untersucht wird zudem das Schrifttum aus der Zweiten Halfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Abschliessend analysiert die Verfasserin das vom Schuldrechtsmodernisierungsgesetz geschaffene neue Recht. Dabei geht es vor allem um die Abgrenzung der sich uberschneidenden Regelungen der 275 und 313 BGB, des Unvermoegens bzw. der Unzumutbarkeit und der Geschaftsgrundlagenstoerung.

Der Autor befasst sich in seiner Arbeit mit Rechtmassigkeitsanforderungen an im Fussballbetrieb durch Vereine und Verbande ausgesprochene Sanktionen, wobei er nach Unterwerfungsart (z. B. mittelbare Mitglieder, Arbeitnehmer, Lizenzierte) unterschiedliche Eingriffsgrundlagen und Befugnisse aufzeichnet. Nach der Darstellung von Organisationsstrukturen und grundlegenden Straferfordernissen, bei denen anerkannte Verfahrensgrundsatze und Grundrechte in den Sport ubertragen werden, bespricht der Verfasser erst die Vereins-, dann die Verbandsstrafen. Dabei geht er insbesondere auf vereins- und arbeitsrechtliche Ermachtigungen, die Wirksamkeit dynamischer Verweisungen in Satzungen, Gefahrdungshaftung fur Fans, Stadionverbot, Regelanerkennungsvertrag, "ne bis in idem" im Verbandsverbund, Art. 12 GG fur Amateure und abschliessend auf Rechtsschutz ein.

Die Arbeit untersucht die rechtlichen Aspekte des Kunstkaufes durch Private. Zur Einordnung der Figur des "Kunstverbrauchers" werden zunachst die Grundlagen des Verbraucherschutzrechtes aufgezeigt. Dem folgen eine Darstellung der am Kunstmarkt beteiligten Akteure sowie die Betrachtung des Kunstwerks als Gegenstand des Rechts. Hierauf aufbauend werden detailliert die Mangelhaftung beim Kauf von Kunstgegenstanden und die sich dabei ergebenden Besonderheiten dargestellt. Daraus ergeben sich ein Katalog der denkbaren Mangel beim Kunstkauf sowie die Festlegung eines kunstmarktspezifischen Sorgfaltsmassstabes. Sodann widmet sich die Arbeit Haftungsausschlussen und denkbaren Unwirksamkeitsgrunden, insbesondere bei Verbrauchergeschaften. Die Untersuchung schliesst mit der Ermittlung der internationalen Zustandigkeit und des anwendbaren Rechts bei internationalen, grenzuberschreitenden Kunstkaufen.

Die Mitwirkung des Bauherrn ist gerade bei Bauvertragen essentiell wichtig. Ohne sie kann ein komplexes Bauprojekt oft nicht erfolgreich realisiert werden. Die Arbeit beschaftigt sich mit den rechtlichen Konsequenzen unterlassener Mitwirkung des Bauherrn (z.B. fehlende Plane, mangelhafte Vorleistung, verspatete Freigabe usw.). Ausgehend von der allgemeinen werkvertragsrechtlichen Einordnung der Mitwirkungshandlungen des Bestellers als blosse Obliegenheiten untersucht die Arbeit, ob dieses System im Bauvertragsrecht nach BGB und VOB aufrechtzuerhalten ist. Wahrend die Mehrheit der Literatur und Rechtsprechung die zur Erstellung des Bauwerks erforderlichen Mitwirkungshandlungen des Bauherrn weitestgehend zu echten Pflichten heraufstuft, kommt der Autor zu dem Ergebnis, dass am Obliegenheitsmodell des BGB in weiten Teilen festzuhalten ist. Begrundet wird dies mit einer dogmatischen Analyse des gesetzlichen Systems unter Berucksichtigung der besonderen Interessenlagen der am Bau beteiligten Parteien.

Promoting Equality and Diversity: A Practitioner's Guide explains the fundamental changes in the approach to achieving equality and diversity that are occuring as a result of recent UK legislation. The work takes a task-based approach to the subject, suggesting legal solutions to discrete practical problems, and providing clear, pragmatic guidance to enable practitioners to tackle the individual problems they might encounter.
This book provides a clear and practical explanation of both good practice and the legislation behind the new proactive approach that is being adopted. It covers areas that receive no treatment elsewhere and offers guidance to organizations that want to implement equality measures but are unsure of how to do so. This book not only explains the relevant legal concepts but also offers real practical advice on topics such as how to carry out impact statements; how to carry out equality pay audits; and the role of monitoring.
By adopting a task-based approach, focusing on what organizations have to deal with in practice, this work is able to offer a fully-integrated legal analysis of current discrimination law that will be of use to every practitioner working in this field. By combining a traditional legal approach with examples, checklists, and precedents the authors have produced a book that is both highly useful and extremely readable.

The European Court of Justice has profoundly influenced the development of the legal order of the European Community through the elaboration of unwritten general principles of law. The general principles derive from the fundamental values underlying the national legal systems. This fully revised and updated Second Edition of The General Principles of EU Law provides a detailed and systematic analysis of the general principles as applied by the European Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance, and as they are influenced by political and legislative developments. It assesses the impact of the EU Constitution on the European polity and the protection of Community rights in national courts. Tridimas highlights the various functions of the general principles, the diverse contexts in which they are employed, and the varying degrees of judicial scrutiny that they entail, focussing on principles including subsidiarity, equality, proportionality, fundamental rights, and the right to a hearing.

With the rejection of the Constitutional Treaty in French and Dutch referenda, the European Union received a severe blow. This precipitated a period of reflection and soul searching. How far should the fundamental principles that shape the Union be re-assessed in the light of the Constitutional debate? Can the Constitutional Treaty be rescued from failure? If not what other options for constitutional reform are available? Does the Treaty's rejection signal the failure of the Union's goal of democratic governance? The essays in this volume examine the impact of the debate surrounding the future of the European Constitution on the development of core areas of EU law and policy. Opening with a discussion of the shifting conceptions of European democracy, the volume proceeds to look at key areas of substantive law against the backdrop of the Constitutional Treaty, from Foreign Relations to Fundamental Rights, Social Policy to Justice and Home Affairs. The book concludes with an examination of potential solutions to the constitutional crisis, and models for future constitutional reform.

A unique investigation into how alliances form in highly polarized times among LGBTQ, immigrant, and labor rights activists, revealing the impacts within each rights movement. Queer Alliances investigates coalition formation among LGBTQ, immigrant, and labor rights activists in the United States, revealing how these new alliances impact political movement formation. In the early 2000s, the LGBTQ and immigrant rights movements operated separately from and, sometimes, in a hostile manner towards each other. Since 2008, by contrast, major alliances have formed at the national and state level across these communities. Yet, this new coalition formation came at a cost. Today, coalitions across these communities have been largely reluctant to address issues of police brutality, mass incarceration, economic inequality, and the ruthless immigrant regulatory complex. Queer Alliances examines the extent to which grassroots groups bridged historic divisions based on race, gender, class, and immigration status through the development of coalitions, looking specifically at coalition building around expanding LGBTQ rights in Washington State and immigrant and migrant rights in Arizona. Erin Mayo-Adam traces the evolution of political movement formation in each state, and shows that while the movements expanded, they simultaneously ossified around goals that matter to the most advantaged segments of their respective communities. Through a detailed, multi-method study that involves archival research and in-depth interviews with organization leaders and advocates, Queer Alliances centers local, coalition-based mobilization across and within multiple movements rather than national campaigns and court cases that often occur at the end of movement formation. Mayo-Adam argues that the construction of common political movement narratives and a shared core of opponents can help to explain the paradoxical effects of coalition formation. On the one hand, the development of shared political movement narratives and common opponents can expand movements in some contexts. On the other hand, the episodic nature of rights-based campaigns can simultaneously contain and undermine movement expansion, reinforcing movement divisions. Mayo-Adam reveals the extent to which inter- and intra-movement coalitions, formed to win rights or thwart rights losses, represent and serve intersectionally marginalized communities-who are often absent from contemporary accounts of social movement formation.

In this original reinterpretation of the legal status of foreigners in medieval England, Keechang Kim proposes a radically new understanding of the genesis of the modern legal regime and the important distinction between citizens and noncitizens. Making full use of medieval and early modern sources, the book examines how feudal legal arguments were transformed by the political theology of the Middle Ages to become the basis of the modern legal outlook. This innovative study will interest academics, lawyers, and students of legal history, immigration and minority issues.

Das erste Gesetz vom 14.6.1976 zur Reform des Ehe- und Familienrechts brachte vor dreissig Jahren eine voellige Abkehr vom Verschuldensprinzip und stellte nur noch auf das Scheitern der Ehe ab. Die Quellensammlung umfasst die Protokolle uber die schwierigen und langwierigen Beratungen in den Ausschussen des Bundesrates und des Bundestages (1973-1976) sowie im Vermittlungsausschuss zu den 1564-1586b BGB. Die im Anhang erstmals in deutscher UEbersetzung wiedergegebene Anglikanische Denkschrift von 1966 zur Scheidungsrechtsreform war von grosser Bedeutung fur die deutschen Reformarbeiten insbesondere fur die Familienrechtskommission der Evangelischen Kirche Deutschlands und fur die Eherechtskommission des Bundesministeriums der Justiz, deren Schlussberatungen von 1969 dokumentiert werden. Die Einleitung des Herausgebers erlautert die wichtigsten Stationen der Entstehung des Gesetzes von 1976 und enthalt Kurzbiographien der massgebend an der Reform beteiligten Personen.

This collection of essays addresses a topical subject of current importance, namely the impact of the EU on national welfare state systems. The volume aims to question the perception that matters of social welfare remain for Member States of the EU to decide, and that the EU's influence in this field is minor or incidental. The various essays trace the different ways in which the EU is having an impact on the laws and practices of the Member States in the area of welfare, looking at issues of social citizenship and the influence of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, as well as at the impact of EU economic freedoms - competition law and free movement law in particular - on both 'services of general economic interest' and on national health-care systems. The significance of the so-called Open Method of Coordination in developing a new compromise on 'social Europe' is discussed, as well as the tensions between market liberalization and social protection in the specific context of this transnational political system are examined. While the various authors clearly have different views on the likelihood of a robust form of European social solidarity developing, the book as a whole suggests the emergence of a distinctive, although partial and fragmented, European Union welfare dimension.

Despite recent constitutional arrangements, human rights remain an ambiguous and complex subject in the European Union. Human rights issues may have become increasingly relevant to the life of the EU over the past thirty years but there has been an institutional reluctance to mould a unified human rights policy worthy of the name. Nevertheless, the EU's practices have not been constructed randomly: they have evolved within discrete policy realms along coherent narrative lines. From the arguably mythical basis that the EU was founded upon a general principle of respect for human rights; policies and practices have developed along two distinct paths. Internally, within the EU, human rights are contingent. Scrutiny is erratic and even casual, and enforcement is left to the courts and independent agencies. Externally, in the EU's interactions with non-members, however, the story is very different: human rights are broad in concept. Collective notions of rights are accepted and promoted. Scrutiny can be intrusive and effective, and systems of enforcement, increasingly severe in scope and strength, have been applied. This bifurcation has direct implications for the EU's constitutional structure and its future human rights activities. It suggests that, through human rights language, conditions for conflict rather than integration have arisen, and that a system of double standards has been instituted. Williams therefore argues that the EU's claims to a credible human rights policy are suspect. This book examines the nature and scope of the bifurcation and explains its origins and development. In doing so it questions orthodox interpretations and provides a radical new reading of the EU's human rights law and practice. At its heart, the book claims that without a fundamental reappraisal of the basis upon which the EU responds to human rights, it will remain plagued by this ironical condition.

"This is narrative scholarship of the highest quality. "Justice at War" addresses a far-ranging set of topical social issues of our times, from affirmative action to hate speech to (in)justice toward noncitizens during times of war. Accessible, well-written, and deeply insightful, "Justice at War" represents the most creative and thoughtful, if not brilliant, installment of the "Rodrigo Chronicles" so far."
--Kevin Johnson, University of California at Davis

"Delgado raises important questions that most American studies scholarship ignores because of its narrow focus. Delgado's use of fiction and dialogue allows him to model a fairly broad, interdisciplinary conversation about contemporary issues that all too often is absent in much scholarly work."
--"American Studies"

"Delgado's analysis is fresh and thought provoking."
--"The Law and Politics Book Review"

"Worth reading. The author genuinely loves ideas and avidly seeks racial justice. Infected by his enthusiasm, the reader may well be tempted to learn more about the important issues Delgado raises-an outcome that he would surely welcome."
--"New York Law Journal"

The status of civil rights in the United States today is as volatile an issue as ever, with many Americans wondering if new laws, implemented after the events of September 11, restrict more people than they protect. How will efforts to eradicate racism, sexism, and xenophobia be affected by the measures our government takes in the name of protecting its citizens?

Richard Delgado, one of the founding figures in the Critical Race Theory movement, addresses these problems with his latest bookin the award-winning "Rodrigo Chronicles," Employing the narrative device he and other Critical Race theorists made famous, Delgado assembles a cast of characters to discuss such urgent and timely topics as race, terrorism, hate speech, interracial relationships, freedom of speech, and new theories on civil rights stemming from the most recent war.

In the course of this new narrative, Delgado provides analytical breakthroughs, offering new civil rights theories, new approaches to interracial romance and solidarity, and a fresh analysis of how whiteness and white privilege figure into the debate on affirmative action. The characters also discuss the black/white binary paradigm of race and show why it persists even at a time when the country's population is rapidly diversifying.

American identity has always been capacious as a concept but narrow in its application. Citizenship has mostly been about being here, either through birth or residence. The territorial premises for citizenship have worked to resolve the peculiar challenges of American identity. But globalization is detaching identity from location. What used to define American was rooted in American space. Now one can be anywhere and be an American, politically or culturally. Against that backdrop, it becomes difficult to draw the boundaries of human community in a meaningful way. Longstanding notions of democratic citizenship are becoming obsolete, even as we cling to them. Beyond Citizenship charts the trajectory of American citizenship and shows how American identity is unsustainable in the face of globalization.
Peter J. Spiro describes how citizenship law once reflected and shaped the American national character. Spiro explores the histories of birthright citizenship, naturalization, dual citizenship, and how those legal regimes helped reinforce an otherwise fragile national identity. But on a shifting global landscape, citizenship status has become increasingly divorced from any sense of actual community on the ground. As the bonds of citizenship dissipate, membership in the nation-state becomes less meaningful. The rights and obligations distinctive to citizenship are now trivial. Naturalization requirements have been relaxed, dual citizenship embraced, and territorial birthright citizenship entrenched--developments that are all irreversible. Loyalties, meanwhile, are moving to transnational communities defined in many different ways: by race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, and sexualorientation. These communities, Spiro boldly argues, are replacing bonds that once connected people to the nation-state, with profound implications for the future of governance.
Learned, incisive, and sweeping in scope, Beyond Citizenship offers a provocative look at how globalization is changing the very definition of who we are and where we belong.

The free movement of persons and services are key elements, alongside the free movement of goods and capital, in the fundamental freedoms which underpin the European internal market. In recent years two key themes have emerged from the case law of the European Court of Justice. The first is convergence in the case law on the free movement of goods, persons, and services in order to ensure the operation of the internal market through the prohibition of discrimination and the outlawing of unjustified obstacles to free movement. The second is the case law on the rights which flow from the introduction of citizenship of the European Union, which offer constitutional rights for individuals. The tensions between these two lines of authority can be explained through a fresh approach to the analysis and synthesis of the Treaty rules and secondary legislation of the European Community, and of the case law of the European Court of Justice on free movement of persons and services. This approach is based on distinguishing between those rules which relate mainly to the regulation of business activities in the internal market, and those which are mainly concerned with individual rights for citizens of the European Union. The result is a detailed overview of the law relating to workers, establishment, and services in the EU in this modern context.

Il lavoro si propone di analizzare il contratto autonomo di garanzia, uno degli istituti giuridici piu utilizzati nella prassi bancaria e nel commercio internazionale, avendo come punto di partenza gli ordinamenti italiano e tedesco. Attraverso un costante monitoraggio della dottrina formatasi sul tema e della giurisprudenza dei due Paesi coinvolti, l'autore si e posto l'obiettivo di individuare la disciplina piu confacente allo strumento contrattuale studiato, avanzando soluzioni rispettose del quadro sistematico, ma che tengano conto delle esigenza di elasticita e speditezza dei traffici commerciali. Il presente studio, corredato dalla prefazione di Giuseppe B. Portale, uno dei maggiori esperti sul tema, vuole essere una base per l'inquadramento a livello teorico del modello negoziale analizzato, e al tempo stesso un utile strumento per gli operatori nella prassi.

"Choice" Outstanding Academic Title 2003

.,."A thorough summary of the trajectory of current case law on the legal regulation of U.S. citizens' intimate lives. . . . A valuable introduction to increasingly important and salient legal questions about the constitutional limits on the state's ability to shape intimate lives in the United States."
--" Political Science Quarterly"

.,."A worthy assessment of the law of intimate association and personal decision-making. For those intrigued by the Court's human side, Ball provides a sufficient glimpse without raising the curtain on its realm of privacy that the justices have strived to protect.
-- "Trial"

"Despite the controversial content of many of the cases, Mr. Ball maintains an air of bemused detachment and does not openly take sides. This is not a polemic. With few exceptions, the prevailing tone is light and scholarly. The goal is to illuminate, not to persuade."
--"New York Law Journal"

"In this truly fascinating and spellbinding work, Ball tells many tales."

Personal rights, such as the right to procreate--or not--and the right to die generate endless debate. This book maps out the legal, political, and ethical issues swirling around personal rights. Howard Ball shows how the Supreme Court has grappled with the right to reproduce and to abort, and takes on the issue of auto-euthanasia and assisted suicide, from Karen Ann Quinlan through Kevorkian and just recently to the Florida case of the woman who was paralyzed by a gunshot from her mother and who had the plug pulled on herself.

For the last half of the twentieth century, the justices of the Supreme Court have had to wrestle with newand difficult life and death questions for them as well as for doctors and their patients, medical ethicists, sociologists, medical practitioners, clergy, philosophers, law makers, and judges. The Supreme Court in the Intimate Lives of Americans offers a look at these issues as they emerged and examines the manner in which the men and women of the U.S. Supreme Court addressed them.

This up-to-date analysis of the Supreme Court's landmark rulings on civil rights and liberties is a discussion of the facts, legal issues, and constitutional questions surrounding those rulings. Domino's book serves as either a core text in courses on civil liberties and civil rights, or as a supplementary text in courses on constitutional law and the judiciary. The book is written in the belief that the key to understanding constitutional law is not having the right answers but asking the right questions. It encourages students to be critical thinkers and provides a historical context so students can better understand competing social, legal, and political interests affecting the Supreme Court's decisions today. The text also includes numerous short excerpts from some of the more influential, eloquent, and controversial Supreme Court opinions to illustrate the handiwork of the powerful legal minds who have helped to shape our society. It reminds us that "the Court" is not an abstract legal mechanism, but rather a group of human beings with divergent opinions. New to the Fourth Edition Up-to-date discussion of recent rulings, from the standpoint of the Court as a Cultural Tribunal, including: freedom of expression, including hate speech and the historic Citizens United case on campaign finance freedom of religion, including prayer during public meetings and the controversial Hobby Lobby case on corporate religious belief social issues, including reproductive rights & abortion and the landmark Obergefell case on same-sex marriage New section on obscenity and the First Amendment, including discussion of Internet pornography Expanded discussion of the use of GPS and thermal scanning technology by law enforcement and issues surrounding mobile phone privacy The nomination and confirmation politics surrounding the death of Antonin Scalia, the failed nomination of Merrick Garland, and the confirmation of Trump appointee Neil Gorsuch Analysis and comparison of the Roberts Court to the Rehnquist, Burger, and Warren Courts, revisiting the question of counterrevolution that set the theme for previous editions

Enacted in 2000 and in operation in the UK since 2005, the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act has revealed information which has generated calls for constitutional reform. A massive 'information jurisprudence' has developed through the decisions of the Information Commissioner, the Information Tribunal and the courts. Governments' responses to the war on terror have involved increased resort to claims of national security and accompanying secrecy, but these developments have to exist alongside demands for FOI and transparency. FOI has to balance access to and protection of personal information, and major amendments have been made to the Data Protection Act in order to balance the competing demands of transparency and privacy. This detailed discussion of FOI laws and personal data laws examines the historical development of secrecy, national security and government, and their modern context.

Nach dem 2. Weltkrieg stellte sich sowohl den alliierten Besatzungsmachten als auch den deutschen Stellen die Frage nach dem Umgang mit den Bestimmungen des Reichserbhofrechts. Am Ende der sich hieraus ergebenden Reformarbeiten stand in dem Gebiet der damaligen britischen Besatzungszone der Erlass der Hoefeordnung vom 24. April 1947. Die Arbeit beschaftigt sich in diesem Zusammenhang mit den Reformuberlegungen und den Gesetzgebungsarbeiten aus deutscher wie britischer Sicht. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf der Darstellung der mit der Neuregelung des Anerbenrechts verfolgten Zielsetzung sowie der Einordnung der Hoefeordnung in die jungere Anerbenrechtsgeschichte.

Die regelmassige Verjahrung beginnt seit der Reform des Verjahrungsrechts mit Kenntnis bzw. bereits mit grob fahrlassiger Unkenntnis des Glaubigers vom Schuldner und den den Anspruch begrundenden Umstanden. Weder die Kenntnis an sich noch die grob fahrlassige Unkenntnis stellen aber dogmatisch klare und daher in der Praxis handhabbare Rechtsbegriffe dar. Angesichts des Zwecks der Verjahrung, namlich Rechtssicherheit herbeizufuhren, erscheint daher eine Klarung gerade dieser subjektiven Tatbestandsmerkmale des neuen Verjahrungsrechts besonders wichtig.
