The American Law Institute and UNIDROIT (International Institute for the Unification of Private Law) are preeminent organizations working toward the clarification and advancement of the procedural rules of law. Recognizing the need for a 'universal' set of procedures that would transcend national jurisdictional rules and facilitate the resolution of disputes arising from transnational commercial transactions, Principles and Rules of Transnational Civil Procedure was launched to create a set of acceptable rules and principles that would be accepted globally. This work strives to reduce uncertainty for parties obliged to litigate in unfamiliar surroundings and promote fairness in judicial judgments. As recognized standards of civil justice, Principles and Rules of Transnational Civil Procedure can be used in pleadings, development, and presentation of evidence, legal argument, and tribunal judgments such as arbitration. The result is a work which significantly contributes to the promotion of a universal rule of law norm.
This book explores the coming into being in European Union (EU) law of the fundamental right to personal data protection. Approaching legal evolution through the lens of law as text, it unearths the steps that led to the emergence of this new right. It throws light on the right’s significance, and reveals the intricacies of its relationship with privacy. The right to personal data protection is now officially recognised as an EU fundamental right. As such, it is expected to play a critical role in the future European personal data protection legal landscape, seemingly displacing the right to privacy. This volume is based on the premise that an accurate understanding of the right’s emerge...
O princípio da proibição do excesso ou da proporcionalidade clássica é considerado por muitos o mais importante princípio do Direito Constitucional gerado pelas perspetivas pós-positivistas do direito e o centro da dogmática dos direitos fundamentais. A sua universalidade tem-se acentuado, sendo visto como um dos pilares do vocabulário comum de um constitucionalismo global. Em Portugal, a Constituição consagra-o, tendo sido, aliás, um dos primeiros textos constitucionais a referir-se-lhe expressamente. O Tribunal Constitucional aplica-o com regularidade. O presente estudo demonstra que o princípio da proibição do excesso tem conteúdo, estrutura e metódica aplicativa variáveis consoante seja encarado como norma de ação dirigida ao legislador ou como parâmetro de controlo ao dispor do juiz constitucional. É dado particular relevo à proibição do excesso como instrumento de mediação de operações de harmonização realizadas pelo legislador, porque é a situação menos - ou quase nada - estudada. Porém, esclarecem-se também as condições essenciais da sua aplicação pelo juiz constitucional.
Most histories of the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) have examined major leaders or well-established political and social groups to explore class, gender, and ideological struggles. The war in Spain was marked by momentous conflicts between democracy and dictatorship, Communism and fascism, anarchism and authoritarianism, and Catholicism and anticlericalism that still provoke our fascination. In Republic of Egos, Michael Seidman focuses instead on the personal and individual experiences of the common men and women who were actors in a struggle that defined a generation and helped to shape our world. By examining the roles of anonymous individuals, families, and small groups who fought for t...
This work traces the emergence of the jury in 19th-century Spain and its establishment and disappearances throughout 190 years of Spanish history. The text is interdisciplinary, placing the successive Spanish jury laws within a general political and social context. It includes material on the origins of the echevinat and addresses issues not confronted by Spanish or other jurists, and it questions received wisdom.
"En este libro se incluyen diversos estudios representativos de la labor investigadora que el autor ha venido desarrollando en el ámbito de la historia del Derecho Procesal. En algunos de estos trabajos se ha intentado reconstruir brevemente la trayectoria vital, académica y doctrinal de algún procesalista. En otros se analizan hechos concretos concernientes a la vida de un procesalista determinado, aunque siempre se trata de acontecimientos que han tenido una especial incidencia en el devenir del Derecho Procesal español y, en algunos casos, también en el Derecho Procesal latinoamericano. A su vez, varios de estos ensayos se refieren a trabajos procesales dotados de significación en el desenvolvimiento histórico de la doctrina procesal". (De la Presentación de la obra)
