Unter Berucksichtigung der europaischen Vorgaben erlautert dieses Buch die Auswirkungen des Honorar-Anlageberatungsgesetzes auf die aufsichtsrechtlichen und zivilrechtlichen Anforderungen an eine ordnungsgemasse Honorar-Anlageberatung. Die europaische Finanzmarktrichtlinie MiFID II verfolgt unter anderem die Starkung der unabhangigen Anlageberatung. Der deutsche Gesetzgeber hat bereits im Jahr 2014 darauf reagiert und das Honorar-Anlageberatungsgesetz verabschiedet, das zu einer Starkung und Etablierung der unabhangigen Anlageberatung dienen soll. Denn die provisionsbasierte Anlageberatung hat in der Vergangenheit oft zu Falschberatungen der Anleger gefuhrt. Vor diesem Hintergrund befasst sich das Buch ausfuhrlich mit den neuen aufsichtsrechtlichen Anforderungen an die Honorar-Anlageberatung. Zudem werden die vertraglichen Pflichten der Parteien des Honorar-Anlageberatungsvertrages umfassend untersucht und die Ausgestaltungsmoeglichkeiten des Honoraranspruches dargestellt.

Many workers in medicine, healthcare administration, science, and technology, no matter how strong their academic degrees or how distinguished their careers, find themselves baffled, frustrated, and even angered by their encounters with the law. Some of those occasions may lead to the need for a lawyer. But many of the bafflements and frustrations arise from ignorance about what the law is, including how it operates. Over more than a half century of inquiry into the relations between law and science, and through numerous conversations with physicians, scientists, and healthcare professionals whose work rests on technological development, the author realized that they often desire more knowledge about the operations of the law and the legal system. This book seeks to provide basic knowledge about the law in realms where these professionals often encounter it, primarily in areas where activities pose risks of personal injury. This book discusses two basic types of law: civil litigation and other remedies afforded to persons who ascribe injuries to the conduct or product of others, and direct regulation by the government of the levels of safety in those areas. Principal practical applications of this knowledge lie in ways to minimize risk, both in the primary sense and in efforts to avoid litigation over injuries, and in how to present arguments about policy to government officials who write laws and regulations.

Modern drug therapy remains one of the most successful interventions in individual patient treatment and the pharmacist, in contributing significant expertise in the delivery of that therapy, performs a fundamental role as a provider within the health care team. Pharmacy practice today is going through a period of exciting and innovative change and development. The adoption of new models of professional practice has distinct legal and ethical implications for the practising pharmacist. This new title describes, analyses and puts into context the legal reality of the practice of pharmacy by outlining the duties and obligations which surround the roles and functions of pharmacists. Such duties and obligations arise from the countless laws which apply to the organisation, administration and processes of the pharmacy profession. Blackstone's Pharmacy Law & Practice also gives specific coverage to the ethical issues which form part of the professional responsibility of pharmacists. It is essential that pharmacists have a thorough understanding of the concept of ethics, the place of ethics in the professional setting and the provision of a structured method for the resolution of ethical questions and dilemmas.

"Persuasive and brilliantly written, the book is especially timely given the rise of trillion-dollar tech companies."--Publishers Weekly

From the man who coined the term "net neutrality," author of The Master Switch and The Attention Merchants, comes a warning about the dangers of excessive corporate and industrial concentration for our economic and political future.

We live in an age of extreme corporate concentration, in which global industries are controlled by just a few giant firms -- big banks, big pharma, and big tech, just to name a few. But concern over what Louis Brandeis called the "curse of bigness" can no longer remain the province of specialist lawyers and economists, for it has spilled over into policy and politics, even threatening democracy itself. History suggests that tolerance of inequality and failing to control excessive corporate power may prompt the rise of populism, nationalism, extremist politicians, and fascist regimes. In short, as Wu warns, we are in grave danger of repeating the signature errors of the twentieth century.

In The Curse of Bigness, Columbia professor Tim Wu tells of how figures like Brandeis and Theodore Roosevelt first confronted the democratic threats posed by the great trusts of the Gilded Age--but the lessons of the Progressive Era were forgotten in the last 40 years. He calls for recovering the lost tenets of the trustbusting age as part of a broader revival of American progressive ideas as we confront the fallout of persistent and extreme economic inequality.

Als Vascularized Composite Allografts werden komplexe Gewebe wie Arme, Beine, Hande, das Gesicht, der Uterus oder die Bauchwand bezeichnet. Die Transplantation dieser Koerperteile entwickelte sich in den vergangenen beiden Jahrzehnten, gehoert aber nach wie vor der Neulandmedizin an. Weder die europaischen Richtlinien noch die nationalen Gesetze enthalten explizite Regelungen fur den Umgang mit komplexen Geweben. Es stellt sich deshalb die Frage nach einer sachgerechten rechtlichen Einordnung. Entscheidende Bedeutung kommt dabei der Frage zu, ob komplexe Gewebe Organe im Sinne des Transplantationsgesetzes darstellen und ob somit die Organvorschriften dieses Gesetzes anwendbar sind.

Dieses Buch setzt sich mit der rechtlichen Neuordnung des Handels von Finanzderivaten in Europa und speziell in Deutschland auseinander. Die auf den G-20 Beschlussen von Pittsburgh beruhende europarechtliche Regulierung des ausserboerslichen Derivatemarkts erfolgt in der EU durch die European Market Infrastructure Regulation, die auch als EMIR-Verordnung bezeichnet wird. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf den sich aus der Verordnung ergebenden zivilrechtlichen Vorgaben, die von den Marktteilnehmern bei Abschluss und Durchfuhrung von ausserboerslichen Finanztermingeschaften zu beachten sind. Im Rahmen des verpflichtenden Clearings stellt das Werk eine rechtssichere und wirtschaftlich gunstige Alternative zur regelmassig gewahlten Novation dar und bewertet und erganzt den deutschen Rahmenvertrag fur Finanzderivate in Bezug auf Besicherungs- und Meldepflichten. Im Rahmen der Darstellung und Analyse der Rechtsfolgen von Verstoessen der Marktteilnehmer gegen Verpflichtungen aus der EMIR-Verordnung setzt sich das Werk fur eine differenzierte, den Sekundaranspruchskatalog des BGB achtende enge Auslegung der Verordnung ein und stellt europaische Abwicklungsvorgaben dem deutschen Insolvenzrecht gegenuber.

Extensively updated and expanded to incorporate legislative and practical changes enacted since the publication of the previous edition, Law for the Expert Witness, Fourth Edition is designed for professionals and students requiring edification on the current processes and techniques of legal procedure. Drawn from revised versions of the readings assigned to graduate and continuing education courses taught by the author, as well as his own professional experience, the text is divided into four sections. Beginning with procedural issues that an expert witness will encounter in advance of the trial itself, the chapters cover legal paperwork, discovery, depositions and other discovery techniques, and consequences for failure to comply with discovery. The next section addresses evidentiary issues, exploring fundamental concepts such as burden of proof, presumptions, and admissibility. It defines who is an expert and when one can testify, and describes the proper form of questions to an expert. Next, the book discusses chain of custody issues, exhibits, hearsay, and the best evidence rule. The book includes suggestions and hints for the expert witness applicable to direct testimony as well as tips on withstanding cross-examination. The final section of the book contains excerpts from the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence as well as a table of illustrative cases. New topics in this Fourth Edition include: The non-discoverability of the expert's draft reports, as mandated by FRCP26 The issue of destruction of evidence as it effects discovery and tests, experiments, and chain of custody New and updated information on differing rules among states regarding who is an expert and whether that testimony will be admitted into evidence The reissuance of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure with new subsections Maintaining the same user-friendly style that made previous editions so popular, this volume enables expert witnesses and attorneys to present compelling evidence in court that will withstand objection from even the most challenging adversary.

Law relies on a conception of human agency, the idea that humans are capable of making their own choices and are morally responsible for the consequences. But what if that is not the case? Over the past half century, the story of the law has been one of increased acuity concerning the human condition, especially the workings of the brain. The law already considers select cognitive realities in evaluating questions of agency and responsibility, such as age, sanity, and emotional distress. As new neuroscientific research comprehensively calls into question the very idea of free will, how should the law respond to this revised understanding? Peter A. Alces considers where and how the law currently fails to appreciate the neuroscientific revelation that humans may in key ways lack normative free will and therefore moral responsibility. The most accessible setting in which to consider the potential impact of neuroscience is criminal law, as certain aspects of criminal law already reveal the naivete of most normative reasoning, such as the inconsistent treatment of people with equally disadvantageous cognitive deficits, whether congenital or acquired. But tort and contract law also assume a flawed conception of human agency and responsibility. Alces reveals the internal contradictions of extant legal doctrine and concludes by considering what would be involved in constructing novel legal regimes based on emerging neuroscientific insights.
