Aviation Law Cause of Action Exclusivity in the Warsaw and Montreal Conventions (Hardcover): David Cluxton Aviation Law Cause of Action Exclusivity in the Warsaw and Montreal Conventions (Hardcover)
David Cluxton
R2,379 Discovery Miles 23 790 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This incisive book tackles a controversy that has plagued the Warsaw Convention 1929 and the Montreal Convention 1999 for decades: whether the conventions provide an independent cause of action upon which a plaintiff can rely directly when pleading their action, and, if so, whether that cause of action provides the exclusive remedy. This book resolves this controversy by presenting a new conceptual framework for understanding aviation law cause of action in the conventions. Written in a scholarly yet engaging style, this insightful book reveals foundational concepts for the conventions' regimes, from the legal relationships they govern, to the manner of their implementation in national law. Employing legal history and comparative law to support his arguments, David Cluxton enriches the doctrinal analysis with an in-depth academic study of the legal background to, and drafting history of, the Warsaw Convention, the subsequent development of the relevant issues, and the case law and commentary thereon. Aviation Law Cause of Action Exclusivity in the Warsaw and Montreal Conventions will be a valuable resource for scholars and students of private air law, private international law and dispute resolution, while also being of great interest to aviation law practitioners and aviation insurers and policy-makers.

Intellectual Property in the Conflict of Laws - The Hidden Conflict-of-law Rule in the Principle of National Treatment... Intellectual Property in the Conflict of Laws - The Hidden Conflict-of-law Rule in the Principle of National Treatment (Hardcover)
Sierd J. Schaafsma
R5,761 Discovery Miles 57 610 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The world of intellectual property (patents, trade marks, copyrights, et cetera) is becoming increasingly international. More and more frequently, disputes about intellectual property have an international character. This inevitably raises questions of private international law: which national court is competent to adjudicate an international dispute of this kind? And which national law should be applied to an international case of this kind? Since the 1990s, the first question in particular has attracted attention; in recent years, the focus has shifted to the second question: which national law is applicable? Opinions differ widely on this matter today. The controversy focuses on the question whether the Berne Convention and the Paris Convention, the two most important treaties on intellectual property, contain a rule that designates the applicable law. In other words: do these treaties contain a 'conflict-of-law rule' as it is called? This question, which concerns nearly all countries in the world, is nowadays considered to be 'heftig umstritten' (fiercely contested) and 'tres difficile' (very difficult). And that is where we come across something strange: today it may be fiercely contested whether these treaties contain a conflict-of-law rule, but in the past, for the nineteenth-century authors of these treaties, it was perfectly self-evident that these treaties contain a conflict-of-law rule, namely in the 'principle of national treatment' as it is called. How is that possible? These are the fundamental questions at the heart of this book: does the principle of national treatment in the Berne Convention and the Paris Convention contain a conflict-of-law rule? And if so, why do we no longer understand this conflict-of-law rule today? This book is an English translation of Sierd J. Schaafsma's groundbreaking book, which appeared in Dutch in 2009 (now updated with the most significant case law and legislation). Key features include: provides deep insight into the current state of affairs in international intellectual property law extensive and groundbreaking analysis of the principle of national treatment in the Berne Convention and the Paris Convention detailed and authoritative explanation of the intersection of the conflicts of law and intellectual property law.

Overriding Mandatory Rules in International Commercial Arbitration (Hardcover): Hossein Fazilatfar Overriding Mandatory Rules in International Commercial Arbitration (Hardcover)
Hossein Fazilatfar
R2,681 Discovery Miles 26 810 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Arbitrators, unlike judges, are appointed by parties to resolve their transactional disputes. Because of such contractual appointment, arbitrators gain their authority from the parties, and thus must apply the law chosen by the parties to the dispute before them. However, there are overriding mandatory laws of other jurisdictions, that due to their imperative character may claim application to the dispute. The arbitrator, as a private adjudicator, has a duty to resolve a potential conflict that may arise between the law chosen by the parties and another mandatory law(s) that claims application and is not chosen by the parties. Overriding Mandatory Rules in International Commercial Arbitration discusses the applicability of mandatory rules of law in international commercial arbitration and addresses the concerns of the arbitrators and judges at various stages of arbitration and the recognition and enforcement of the award respectively. Legal scholars researching the law applicable in international commercial arbitration will find the answers they require within these pages, as will students. It will also prove helpful to practitioners, including arbitrators, judges and attorneys, as they deal with mandatory rules in practice.

Christa Roodt
R3,832 Discovery Miles 38 320 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This timely book demonstrates how full account can be taken of the structure and method of private international law in its expanding relationship with cultural heritage law, identifying opportunities for keeping pace with the underpinning value judgments. Through a global lens, Roodt explores how value-rationality and mutuality can defeat the dogmatic underpinnings of conflicts and jurisdiction rules that frustrate the achievement of global solidarity in public policy decisions and the treatment of foreign public law. The satisfactory settlement of claims based on ownership and the restitution of art and cultural objects requires improvements in the approaches and methods of dispute resolution that prevail today. The author reveals hidden dimensions of private international law, which can help re-script these approaches and methods to better tailor them to the illicit trade in cultural objects, title laundering, the suppression of policy considerations and ethical concerns that support the restitution of Nazi spoliated art. International officials and policymakers will find this a unique and ethically comprehensive resource, addressing matters that impact the artistic, cultural and historical record and the safeguarding of cultural and heritage objects within the contemporary art market. Adjudicators, law enforcement officials and legal scholars will appreciate its fresh and inclusive treatment of issues including restitution, material heritage and provenance.

This incisive book is an indispensable guide to the New York Convention's uniform regime on recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards. Framing the Convention as a uniform law instrument, the book analyses case law from major arbitration jurisdictions to explain its scope of application, the duty to recognize arbitral agreements and awards as well as their limitations, and the procedure and formal requirements for enforcing arbitral awards. Combining insight from arbitration practice with perspectives from private international law, the book underlines the importance of the Convention's foundation in a treaty of international law, arguing that this entails a requirement to interpret the key concepts it sets forth based on international law rules of interpretation. However, it also demonstrates where municipal laws are relevant and discusses the private international law principles through which these instances can be identified. Addressing one of the core treaties of international arbitration, this will be crucial reading for legal practitioners and judges working in the field. It will also prove valuable to scholars and students of commercial and private international law, particularly those focused on cross-border disputes and arbitration.
