The Emergence Of European Society Through Public Law : A Hegelian And Anti-Schmittian Approach - A Hegelian And Anti-Schmittian Approach

by Armin Von Bogdandy

~~0,01€~~ 0,01€ 10% OFF

 Many Europeans struggle to understand where EU-centred Europeanization has led them. The standard response - that their situation is sui generis, one of a kind - no longer holds. Brexit, conflicts over European financial transfers, immigration, or dubious judicial reforms in some Member States demand a more substantial answer. Against that background, The Emergence of European Society Through Public Law: A Hegelian and Anti-Schmittian Approach frames European integration by reconstructing European public law in light of Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU). According to Article 2, all Europeans today are part of one society. European integration may not have produced a European federal state, but it has helped create a European society. This society is intimately interwoven with European public law, as the Treaty characterizes it with 12 constitutional principles. The book interprets this statement as the manifesto, identity, and constitutional core of a democratic society. Thus, Europeans should understand that European integration has ushered in a European democratic society. Comprehensive and engaging, The Emergence of European Society Through Public Law examines the great debates of European public law and presents them in a new and forward-looking reconstruction. This new narrative of European legal integration will appeal to academics and students of EU law, constitutional and comparative law, sociology, political science, and legal history.The Emergence of European Society Through Public Law is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to download from OUP and selected open access locations.

Equine Regulatory Law

by Robert L. Heleringer

~~48,02€~~ 43,22€ 10% OFF

 Equine Regulatory Law, now in its second edition, examines the legal cases that have most significantly defined the equine industry. This comprehensive book introduces readers to the relationships among privately owned racetracks, state governments, and the state racing commissions that bridge them. Case studies serve as a foundation for explaining the legal regulatory processes involving racing commissions in the United States, such as disciplinary decisions, licensure, and rule claims. Among the cases discussed is Gary and Mary West v. The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, a pivotal decision that protected stewards' discretion to call fouls in horse races, even when the race in question is the Kentucky Derby.Author Robert L. Heleringer analyzes topics at every level of the modern equine industry, including the constitutionality of the "absolute insurer" rule. This regulation holds the trainer accountable for any substance found in a post-race drug screening and defines processes for both evaluating objections to the outcome of races declared "official" and assessing liabilities for injuries to equine and human participants.Expanded and updated to incorporate new cases, this second edition of Equine Regulatory Law remains the field's definitive text, standing as an indispensable resource for the industry, law professionals, and students.

More Than Play - How Law, Policy, And Politics Shape American Youth Sport

by Dionne Koller

~~28,76€~~ 25,88€ 10% OFF

 Tens of millions of children in the United States participate in youth sport, a pastime widely believed to be part of a good childhood. Yet most children who enter youth sport are driven to quit by the time they enter adolescence, and many more are sidelined by its high financial burdens. Until now, there has been little legal scholarly attention paid to youth sport or its reform. Dionne Koller sets the stage for a different approach by illuminating the law and policy assumptions supporting a model that puts children's bodies to work in an activity that generates significant surplus value. In doing so, she identifies the wide array of beneficiaries who have a stake in a system that is much more than just play—and the political choices that protect these parties' interests at children's expense.

Citizenship And Residence By Investment - An Analysis Of Eu And International Law In Investment Migration Programmes

by Daniel Braga Nascimento

~~65,26€~~ 58,73€ 10% OFF

 Citizenship by investment and residence by investment are forms of acquiring citizenship and residence due to an injection of money into a country. Born in the Caribbean, the practice of selling citizenship arrived in Europe and has sparked particular attention in the case of Malta. However, more than 20 Member States have residence by investment schemes in their legislation. In recent years, European institutions have argued against citizenship by investment, that these programs lack a genuine link, pose different risks, and should be phased out. This book seeks to answer the following question: To what extent do residency and citizenship by investment programs comply with European and international law? Using case studies, legislation, and principles of European law, analysis of case law and international courts, and national legislation from Malta and Portugal the book presents a historical overview of investment migration and an in-depth analysis of European and international Law on the subject.

Migrating Borders And Citizenship In Law - Scales, Locales, Themes And Practices

by Devyani Prabhat

~~38,40€~~ 34,56€ 10% OFF

 Borders not only demarcate nations and territories, but transform people into migrants. Hand-in-hand with law and law enforcement, borders create residents and foreigners. The law ascertains who crosses borders and who does not, and who remains foreign despite being within national borders.Migrating Borders and Citizenship in Law argues that law has multiple roles and mechanisms for breathing life into borders, operating at different locales and scales (from worldwide to the nation; from the family to the workplace), and through different practices, for example, preventing entry or withholding access to resources. It examines case law, legislation and press accounts relating to several key events in recent times that have changed the legal landscape on migration control, such as the Immigration and Nationality Acts in the UK, the end of empire, the arrival of Empire Windrush, Brexit, Covid and the case of Shamima Begum. Focusing on race and ethnicity, gender and class, as well as crime and control, the book contextualises the legal debates around these historical and political developments, the question of who belongs, the consequences of behaviour for immigration status and citizenship, and the links with conduct and national security.With its wide interdisciplinary framing of the law, drawing from sociology, politics, philosophy and history, this groundbreaking book will appeal to all readers with broad interests in migration studies.

Child Abduction During The Covid Pandemic

by Bertie Angammana

3,95€ + 10% CARD

 Written by a practising barrister of more than four decades, this book tells and analyses the stories in relation to the abduction of children during the Covid 19 Pandemic. The issues in the cases are based on real life stories of families and their disputes arising out of the breakdown of their relationships and abduction of children in certain circumstances. However, the names are fictitious, and I have protected the anonymity of the parties' identities, and their real-life stories with fictional situations rather than the actual stories. Any resemblance to the people either living or dead are purely unintentional. The countries involved could not be anonymized because the laws are applied and set out in the court orders based on the jurisdiction of the geographical areas of the country where the parties reside. This book outlines the procedure to deal with urgent applications where necessary in such cases. The stories and court orders predominantly deal with the cases during the pandemic. I have included certain scenarios and court orders pre-pandemic for the reader to understand the difference between the court orders pre-pandemic and post- pandemic. This book also deals with relevant family law statutes and family law Practice Directions to inform the reader that such cases could not be dealt with in isolation. I have also dealt with a brief historical introduction to the evolution of matrimonial legislation where necessary. I hope the readers will find the book interesting.

Judicial Establishment Of Customary Law And Its Manifestations From Anglophone Cameroon

by Akoted-Daniel Oben

~~15,58€~~ 14,02€ 10% OFF

 Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2023 in the subject Law, University of Buea, course: Customary Law, language: English, abstract: This paper unravels the concept of judicial establishment of customary law in Anglophone Cameroon, specifically analysing the role played by State courts in the ascertainment of, or judicial establishment of customary law. The paper draws inspiration from the other countries in sub-Saharan Africa, to strengthen the arguments made herein. The paper adopts the qualitative research methodology, based on the doctrinal and content analyses of primary and secondary sources of data. The paper argues that the concept of judicial establishment of customary law is a very vital concept, which has over the years been plagued with a multiplicity of conundrums regarding the issue. The paper further argues that the process ofjudicial establishment has a nexus with another process known as the judicial regulation of customary law, which requires that a custom passes the duality tests of repugnancy and incompatibility before being incorporated/institutionalised in the official legal system. Finally, the paper reveals that the absence of professionalization in the delivery of customary justice and the essentialist articulation of customary law are some of the factors which militate against the realistic existence and enforcement of customary law in Anglophone Cameroon.

 Master's Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Law - Miscellaneous, grade: 16, Saarland University (Europa Institut), course: Europaisches und Internationales Recht, language: English, abstract: The thesis aims at giving a country report of The Gambia, starting by presenting the country's historical, cultural and legal background. Then its social, political and economic situation will be touched upon and the country's FDI regime and investment law in general will be laid out. The areas in which FDI could be attracted, how this is done and could be improved will be discussed as well as the promotion and protection of investment, the expropriation and compensation and the dispute settlement of investment related matters. It will finally lay out the international and bilateral treaties the country has signed in the realm of investment, evaluate the different aspects and give recommendations for the future. In a globalized world international investment as well as investment treaties gain more importance. Investment laws have as their function investment promotion, sustainable development and legal certainty for domestic and foreign investors. Especially in less developed countries like The Gambia, which were held down mostly due to political reasons and mismanagement, it seems that a time to attract more Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and develop a more competitive economy has come. The Gambian people elected a new president in 2017 and the former Jammeh regime having lasted for 22 years came to an end. Thus, with the new government common practices like unlawful expropriation seized to exist and it even enacted a Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC) to respond to the needs of victims under the former regime and to promote healing and reconciliation. It also introduced a vision and strategic plan to enhance the Gambia s economy further, the National Development Plan (NDP). The NDP has been aiming at delivering good governance, social cohesion and a transformed economy for the wellbeing of all Gambians.

 Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Law - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, University of Bologna, language: English, abstract: This paper examines the question of whether and why distributed ledger token should be legally encompassed. To ensure a fundamental understanding, it first describes the basic features of the distributed ledger technology and the main characteristics of token. This is followed by a look at the function of law in general as well as with regard to property and technology in particular. From these considerations, the necessity of recognizing token as legal goods is derived, coming to the concluding section where it will be addressed whether property law can be used to encompass token. Though not evaluating any specific application of norms, the paper argues for a corresponding openness in legal interpretation, especially when it comes to disruptive technologies.

Reforming The Eu'S Credit Rating Regulations. Critical Evaluation Of The Effectiveness Of Cra3

by Ahmad Swaiss

~~1,31€~~ 1,18€ 10% OFF

 Essay from the year 2024 in the subject Law - Miscellaneous, grade: -, , language: English, abstract: The 2008 financial crisis exposed the detrimental impact of inaccurate credit ratings issued by Credit Rating Agencies (CRAs) (Brunnermeier & Oehmke, 2013). These ratings, often criticized for lacking transparency and overreliance on historical data, are alleged to have contributed to the mispricing of risk assets, ultimately culminating in the collapse of major financial institutions (Acharya et al., 2011). In response, the European Union (EU) enacted Council Regulation (EC) No 462/2013 (CRA3), aiming to bolster the integrity and reliability of credit ratings and mitigate overreliance on them within the European financial system (Council of the European Union, 2013). This article conducts a critical evaluation of CRA3. Employing a multifaceted approach that integrates legal reasoning, scholarly analysis, practical considerations, and real-world examples, the Article delves into the regulation's strengths, weaknesses, and potential areas for improvement. The analysis draws upon relevant legal concepts (e.g., civil liability, regulatory oversight), academic literature (e.g., case studies, empirical research), and practical considerations (e.g., challenges faced by market participants and regulators) to offer a holistic understanding of CRA3's effectiveness. The Article argues that while CRA3 introduces significant measures, including enhanced transparency, a civil liability regime, and conflict of interest mitigation, considerable legal, practical, and conceptual hurdles remain. These hurdles pertain to but are not limited to, the challenges in establishing causal links between inaccurate ratings and investor losses, the potential chilling effect of civil liability on responsible risk assessment, and the ongoing debate on the effectiveness of regulatory interventions in fostering market discipline within the complex and evolving realm of credit ratings. Therefore, the Article concludes by advocating for further dialogue and potential reform aimed at strengthening the EU's credit rating framework. This includes exploring alternative regulatory approaches, fostering market-based solutions, and enhancing international cooperation to create a more robust, reliable, and resilient credit rating system in Europe.

This Article embarks on a rigorous legal analysis, navigating the labyrinth of arguments and potential consequences associated with such a transformative undertaking. It dissects the alluring promise of clarity and consistency inherent in codification, while meticulously counterbalancing it against potential pitfalls of inflexibility, unforeseen ramifications, and disruption to the established legal framework.

Comparative case studies from the UK and Arab countries, such as Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar, are meticulously examined to glean valuable insights into the practical implications of codification.

Furthermore, it emphasizes the necessity for a profound appreciation of the UK's unique legal heritage and its dynamic commercial landscape.

By prioritizing a thorough and inclusive exploration of the possibilities and potential challenges, the UK can ensure that any decisions pertaining to codification are grounded in sound legal reasoning and ultimately serve the best interests of the nation's commercial landscape.

Beyond Salomon. Time To Rethink The Limited Liability Shield?

by Ahmad Swaiss

~~1,31€~~ 1,18€ 10% OFF

 Essay from the year 2024 in the subject Law - Miscellaneous, grade: -, , language: English, abstract: The Salomon v Salomon & Co Ltd [1897] decision established the principle of separate legal personality, granting duly incorporated companies distinct identities from their owners. This landmark judgement hailed as a cornerstone of modern business, empowered companies to attract investment and expand through limited liability protections for shareholders. This "corporate veil" fostered economic growth and entrepreneurial spirit. However, concerns emerged about potential abuse and limitations on accountability. Unlimited liability shielded individuals from responsibility for their actions, potentially enabling injustice and even fraud. Recognizing these concerns, courts have developed exceptions to pierce the veil in specific situations, such as injustice, unfairness, agency, group enterprise, tax evasion, and concealment 'facade or sham'. Legislations, such as the Companies Act and Insolvency Act offer additional frameworks regarding fraudulent trading and wrongful trading. This Article critically analyzes the principle, exploring its benefits and drawbacks. It proposes reforms to address emerging issues, such as human rights abuses, environmental damage, and algorithmic bias while striving for a balance between promoting responsible corporate conduct and fostering a dynamic economy. Ultimately, this Article advocates for ongoing dialogue and nuanced solutions to ensure the principle serves the interests of businesses, investors, and society at large.
