In force in 70 countries around the world and covering more than two thirds of world trade, the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is considered to be the most successful convention promoting international trade. According to many commentators, this success is due, among others, to the fact that the Convention does not directly impact on the domestic law of the various legal systems, as it applies only to international - as opposed to purely domestic - contracts. The Convention, in other words, does not impose changes in the domestic law, which makes it easier for States to adopt the Convention. This does not mean, however, that the Convent...
This book is one of the first to link company law to the law of succession by concentrating on family businesses. It shows that, to understand the legal framework underlying the daily operations of family businesses, one needs legal analysis, empirical data, psychological and sociological knowledge. The book works on the premise that, since many businesses have been founded by families, practitioners need to develop an understanding of the legal background of such businesses and build up experience to be able to create contracts, trusts, foundations and other legal mechanisms to give shape to systems and procedures for the transfer of shares and control within the family. Comparing the national legal order, techniques, and mechanisms in a range of countries, the book examines parallel developments in these fields of law across the world. Finally, it demonstrates the room for companies, shareholders and the members of a family to develop individual solutions within the legal framework for transferring businesses and shares to the next generation.
This volume offers a unique, comprehensive view of the contents, context and potential of the Civil Code that in 2021 entered into force in the People’s Republic of China. The twenty-three essays herein collected, authored by distinguished Chinese and non-Chinese scholars, describe inner and outer perceptions about the Chinese Civil Code and analyze its likely impact within and outside the country. In so doing, they shed light not only on the comparative origins of current Chinese rules, but also on the potential influence that these rules may have in comparative terms in the future.

A obra propõe a análise comparativa entre o regime de resolução contratual vigente na Convenção de Viena (CISG) e aquele em vigor no direito comum brasileiro. Na parte dedicada ao estudo da CISG, o livro apresenta os resultados de pesquisa compreensiva de julgados internacionais, sistematizando-os através do método de grupo de casos. A partir de tal análise, a autora extrai critérios de aplicação da chamada fundamental breach of contract, com o propósito de conferir maior previsibilidade à solução de casos práticos. A extensa literatura internacional sobre o tema é também inventariada e analisada no trabalho. No que se refere ao que se chamou de direito comum brasileiro, cujo regime está estabelecido no Código Civil, o livro segue o mesmo itinerário, com o objetivo de traçar verdadeiro estudo comparativo entre as duas disciplinas hoje em vigor no país. O resultado aponta o estado da arte da questão proposta, bem assim as semelhanças e as diferenças com relação ao regime da CISG. Trata-se de contribuição relevante para a literatura jurídica nacional, tanto pela importância do tema objeto da obra, como pelo método comparativo empregado.
Arbitration is adjudication and, like any form of adjudication, it must ensure justice to parties. Justice requires that in settling disputes arbitrators constantly balance the opposing interests of the parties and the different legal systems relevant to the resolution of the dispute from time to time at hand. This book addresses such issues by looking at the different stages of arbitration: from the selection of the arbitral seat to the definition of jurisdictional limits, from the choice of applicable law to the revision of arbitral awards. The book collects essays by colleagues and friends of Piero Bernardini, a leading practitioner of international arbitration who was a champion in achieving balance in the administration of justice through arbitration.
