The latest development concerning the metaphorical use of the fairy tale is the legal perspective. The law had and has recourse to fairy tales in order to speak of the nomos and its subversion, of the politically correct and of the various means that have been used to enforce the law. Fairy tales are a fundamental tool to examine legal procedures and structures in their many failings and errors. Therefore, we have privileged the term "fables" of the law just to stress the ethical perspective: they are moral parables that often speak of justice miscarried and justice sought. Law and jurists are creators of "fables" on the view that law is born out of the facts (ex facto ius oritur) so that there is a need for narrative coherence both on the level of the case and the level of legislation (or turned the other way around: what does it mean if no such coherence is found?). This is especially of interest given the influx of all kinds of new technologies that are "fabulous" in themselves and hard to incorporate in traditional doctrinal schemes and thus in the construction of a new reality.
While the role of comparative law in the courts was previously only an exception, foreign sources are now increasingly becoming a source of law in regular use in supreme and constitutional courts. There is considerable variation between the practices of courts and the role of comparative law, and methods remain controversial. In the US, the issue has been one of intense public debate and it is still one of the major dividing issues in the discussion about the role of the courts. Contributing to the existing discussion of the use of comparative law in the courts, this book provides an inclusive, coherent, and practical analysis of the relevant law and jurisprudence in comparative law in the c...

With cross-border successions becoming increasingly common in the context of the European Union, this timely book offers a systematic practical analysis of how cross-border successions should be treated, including examination of which courts may establish jurisdiction over succession disputes and which law governs such disputes. Studying cross-border successions in the context of estate planning and in the opening and liquidation of a succession, it examines the specificities of the European Certificate of Succession, contextualising it within its interface with the national laws and practice of EU Member States.
Vol. Quindicesimo – V Ediz. – Testimonianze per la memoria storica di Caivano raccolte da Ludovico Migliaccio e Collaboratori
A propriedade opera como o instituto magno do Direito privado e do próprio sistema jurídico em geral. Construída no Direito romano e burilada ao longo de dois milénios, a dogmática da propriedade, pública ou privada, projeta-se nos diversos campos do ordenamento, para além do Direito das coisas. A propriedade comporta, nos nossos dias, dados muito sensíveis da vida das pessoas: as relações de vizinhança, os concretos poderes do dono e a frente decisiva da defesa do Planeta, num cenário, cada vez mais próximo, de uma crise climática global. O domínio funciona, ainda, como um bastião incontornável da liberdade individual. Da propriedade decorrem direitos decisivos, como a prop...
