Was sind Traditionspapiere und was die historischen Grundlagen der dinglichen Traditionswirkung?

In den letzten Jahren sind immer mehr Private an der Erbringung der oeffentlichen Dienstleistungen beteiligt. Allerdings ergibt sich in der Praxis daraus, dass die Daseinsvorsorge nicht blind auf einen reinen Wettbewerb vertrauen kann. Der oeffentliche Personennahverkehr kann als ein gutes Beispiel dienen. Es stellt sich die Frage, wie die Erbringung der oeffentlichen Dienstleistungen so organisiert werden kann, dass einerseits ein fairer Wettbewerb zwischen Unternehmen entstehen kann, andererseits die sozial- und arbeitsmarktpolitischen Belange berucksichtigt werden koennen. Um diese Frage zu beantworten, analysiert der Autor nicht nur staatsrechtliche und europarechtliche Entwicklung, sondern fuhrt die Regulierung als ein Handlungskonzept der Verwaltung im Recht des OEPNV ein.

Praised as well-written and extremely accessible, Messent and Glass offer a level of expert detail and referencing that cannot be found elsewhere. This work is an invaluable reference tool that can be used by the busy legal practitioner, and by other road haulage industry professionals, in any contracting state, to solve the issues that confront them in daily practice. It is also an indispensable guide for academics and students of the international carriage of goods by road.

What are the potentially negative consequences of an undeniably good public policy? Under the Influence examines how the Elks, one of the oldest lodge-based voluntary associations in America, may have been impacted by government policies such as DUI laws. To examine this empirically, author John C. Mero conducted interviews with fifty-five California and Florida Elk Exalted Rulers. What emerges from the interviews is a voluntary association in transition: having been affected by stricter DUI laws and other government policies over the past few decades, the Elks are reevaluating their approach to associational life. They have demonstrated a willingness to change with the times since their founding as the Jolly Corks in 1884, and-in response to the unintended consequences of more recent government policies-the Elks are seeking new opportunities to contribute to American civil society.

Default and distress scenarios have assumed major proportions in both the experiences and the anxieties of aircraft owners, financiers and operators. The current state of the aviation market is leading to an increase in defaults, workouts and repossessions. In addition, a default event may occur for many other reasons than the obvious non-payment of lease rentals or lapses in insurance, licences, authorizations or registrations. A third party may claim an unexpected lien; unanticipated navigation charges may suddenly appear; a plane may become inadvertently involved in a fleet detention; interpretations of documentation may differ among jurisdictions-the possibilities are literally endless. No contract or repossession insurance policy can list all the contingencies. Designed as a detailed practical guide to the management of aircraft during default periods and their repossession, this very useful book is also of great value as a preventive guide in the drafting of aircraft lease and financing contracts. Local aviation law experts from 32 jurisdictions worldwide provide in-depth responses, country by country, to an extremely detailed questionnaire that includes eighty 'real-life' questions covering such categories as the following: - self-help procedures - court proceedings - arbitration and other non-court proceedings - money claims - bankruptcy - non-consensual liens - rights and security interests in aircraft - deregistration powers of attorney - export permit issues Fees, time periods, costs of all kinds, remedies, immunities, required documentation, recognition of foreign judgments, interim measures-all these and many other crucial considerations are fully explained for each jurisdiction. Loaded with precise, up-to-date information and expert practical guidance, this book will be of enormous value to aviation lawyers, counsel for aircraft owners and operators, receivers, export credit agencies, banks, lessors and investors with interest in the aviation industry.

"The laytime and demurrage clause appears in practically all carriage contracts, so this guide to this litigious area of law is indispensable."
