Marine oil pollution is one of the most damaging environmental liabilities of our time, and is taken very seriously by governments. Although international conventions take the lead in the legal regime underpinning prevention and compensation of marine oil pollution damage, national legal systems differ considerably in how they interpret and apply their monitoring and enforcement responsibilities. This is the first book to present a comparative analysis of the law with respect to marine oil pollution, with expert contributions emphasising particular solutions in Europe, the US, and China. The authors draw on the full range of legal sources, from theory and legislation to procedure and actual ...
The topics addressed in this book have traditionally been covered in separate publications on civil and commercial law. This dualism of regimes has made it difficult for students and professionals alike to comprehend Spanish private law as a whole. In the past this has led to inefficient duplication of explanations, gaps in key areas and an altogether fragmented picture. Introduction to Spanish Private Law presents a consolidated, modern, and realistic image of today’s Spanish private legal system. It combines both civil and commercial law and integrates them in the same book, making the overall subject far more accessible to readers. This united approach results in a more logical and effi...
This book provides an overview of the current development status of remediation technologies involving electrochemical processes, which are used to clean up soils that are contaminated with different types of contaminants (organics, inorganics, metalloids and radioactive). Written by internationally recognized experts, it comprises 21 chapters describing the characteristics and theoretical foundations of various electrochemical applications of soil remediation. The book’s opening section discusses the fundamental properties and characteristics of the soil, which are essential to understand the processes that can most effectively remove organic and inorganic compounds. This part also focuse...
With the worldwide upsurge of lawsuits against classification societies, their liability towards third parties has become one of the most contentious issues in contemporary maritime law. Against this background, the authors analyze potential third-party claims and examine to what extent classification societies may limit their liability. The study highlights the development in Australian, English, French, New Zealand, U.S. and German law.
This book presents a complete and coherent view of the subject of Common European Sales Law from a range of European perspectives. The book offers a comparison of the CESL with the CISG, as well as pre-existing instruments, including the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR) and the Principles of European Contract Law (PECL). It analyses the process of enactment of CESL and its scope of application, covering areas such as the sale of goods, the supplying (licensing) of digital content, the supply of trade-related services, and consumer protection. It examines the design of the CESL bifurcating businesses into large and small-to-medium sized enterprises, and the providing of rules covering digital content and the supply of trade-related services. Lastly, it studies the field of application of the CESL combined with the already existing EU consumer protection laws, as well as nation-specific laws.
Esta obra colectiva realiza un balance de los últimos años de trabajo y del esfuerzo de todos los operadores jurídicos por disminuir las cifras de víctimas de la violencia de género, para dotarles de un mayor y mejor nivel de protección en todos los ámbitos.La tutela jurisdiccional, aunque abarque todos sus órdenes y vertientes funcionales, no es la panacea que va a venir a resolver -ni mucho menos a prevenir- todas las tragedias que padecen y que acechan a las víctimas de la violencia de género. Como se ha repetido una y otra vez desde los ámbitos de conocimiento más diversos, si la sociedad actual no alcanza mayores cotas de educación -en el respeto a la igualdad y en la forma...
La obra que el lector tiene entre manos recoge las aportaciones más relevantes del Congreso Unijes 2013, convocado por las Facultades de Derecho de las universidades de Deusto, Pontificia Comillas de Madrid y ESADE-URL, y que bajo el título ?Los medios de prevención de conflictos en contextos económicos inestables? tuvo por objetivo una reflexión jurídica sobre las vías de prevenir y anticipar los conflictos jurídicos y evitar, de esta manera, su judicialización. No cabe duda de que en el contexto de las sociedades de la Unión Europea, sacudidas por una fuerte crisis económica, la conflictividad ha experimentado un incremento considerable y con ello el incremento de reclamaciones ...
Os deveres de consideração neste estudo transcendem a seara contratual e abarcam a fase que antecede a celebração da avença, denominada pré-contratual, sistematizada por Ihering sob a nomenclatura culpa in contrahendo. Da mesma forma e com precisão, a autora faz esse mesmo exame na fase posterior à conclusão e extinção da relação obrigacional (responsabilidade civil pós-contratual), também conhecida como culpa post pactum finitum, instituto pouco estudado nos planos nacional e internacional..."

Nas atuais sociedades plurais (e multiculturais), a introdução intencional de OGM’s no ambiente – em particular o seu cultivo e comercialização – gera problemas jurídicos poliédricos, os quais atravessam o direito privado e o direito público. Avultam questões decorrentes dos complexos procedimentos administrativos nacionais com efeitos transnacionais, passando pelos procedimentos administrativos nacionais associados a sistemas de reconhecimento mútuo de cultivo e introdução no comércio destes OGM’s; qual “europeização” destes procedimentos versus a sua “renacionalização”. São também importantes os problemas decorrentes da responsabilidade civil (dos particul...
