Mediation
Mediation provides an attractive alternative to resolving disputes through court proceedings. Mediation promises just results in the interest of all parties concerned, a reduction of the court caseload, and cost savings for the parties involved as well as for the treasury. The European Directive on Mediation has given mediation in Europe new momentum by establishing a common framework for cross-border mediation. Beyond Europe, many states have tried in recent years to answer the question whether, and if so, how mediation should be regulated at a national and international level. The aim of this book is to promote the understanding and discussion of regulatory issues by presenting comparative...
The Changing Role of Law in Japan
How has Japan managed to become one of the most important economic actors in the world, without the corresponding legal infrastructure usually associated with complex economic activities? The Changing Role of Law in Japan offers a comparative perspecti
The Law Applicable to Security Interests in Intermediated Securities Under OHADA Law
In recent decades, the technical handling of custody business in the OHADA region has undergone a lasting change. There has been a shift from a direct to an indirect holding system, in which the interests of an investor in respect of the underlying securities are recorded in the books of an intermediary (such as a bank or a securities firm). Under the law of all states within the OHADA region, the traditional conflict of laws rule for determining the enforceability of a securities pledge that occurs in the indirect holding system is the lex rei sitae (or the lex cartae sitae or the lex situs) rule. However, the traditional lex rei sitae rule cannot be appropriately applied to a system where the dematerialised securities are held through multiple layers of intermediaries located in different jurisdictions. Yet, until the intermediated system and the collateralisation of intermediated securities in the OHADA region will continue to operate in somewhat legally murky waters, leading to more instability in the financial markets. Therefore, Justin Monsenepwoaims to find an appropriate and consistent approach that reflects the reality of the indirect holding system in the OHADA region.
Japanese and European Private International Law in Comparative Perspective
The idea of national codification is advancing on a global scale in conflict of laws. A large number of legislative projects dealing with codifying and modernizing private international law, both on the national and the supranational level, have been launched in the past few years. Among such recent initiatives, the advances taken by the European and the Japanese legislators are particularly reflecting these developments. On January 1, 2007, the new Japanese 'Act on General Rules for Application of Laws' entered into force replacing the outdated conflict of laws statute of 1898. This major reform finds its parallels in the current efforts of the European Union to create a modern private inte...
Internationales Gesellschaftsrecht in Japan
Das Internationale Gesellschaftsrecht steht im Fokus von Wissenschaft und Praxis in der EU. Auch der japanische Gesetzgeber hat sich mit der Kodifikation der herrschenden Grundungstheorie und mit der Neuregelung des Fremdenrechts zum Schutz vor Scheinauslandsgesellschaften befasst. Die Analyse der aktuellen japanischen Rechtslage ist insbesondere fur das deutsche Internationale Gesellschaftsrecht aufschlussreich, das derzeit (teilweise) von der Sitz- zur Grundungstheorie ubergeht. Der Rechtsvergleich mit Japan, das im Laufe seiner Geschichte verschiedenen Stromungen und auslandischen Einflussen ausgesetzt war, ist besonders vielschichtig. Eva Schwittek analysiert das Internationale Gesellschaftsrecht Japans aus rechtsvergleichender Perspektive und bezieht die historischen, rechtspolitischen und wirtschaftlichen Zusammenhange ein. Damit liegt erstmals eine umfassende Studie dieses Rechtsgebiets in einer westlichen Sprache vor.

Beilegung individualarbeitsrechtlicher Streitigkeiten in Japan
English summary: For a long period of time, conflicts in individual labor law have not been perceived as a meaningful type of conflict in Japan. For the first time, at the beginning of the new millennium, two systems were introduced, which provided for all of Japan, nationally unified regulations particularly for the settlement of conflicts within individual labor law. A joint-committee procedure through district labor bureaus was created in 2001, following the Act on Promotion of the Resolution of Individual Labor-related Disputes, and the procedures for labor tribunal committees at the district court level was instituted in 2006. Japan is considered to be a country, in which conflicts are ...
