This collection of articles and essays by Herbert Kritzer draws on his extensive research related to lawyers and legal practice conducted over the last 35 years. That research has applied existing theoretical frameworks and developed innovative ways of thinking about how to understand what it is that lawyers do. The chapters reflect the wide range of both qualitative and quantitative research methods he has employed, and draw on his work on the Civil Litigation Research Project, a massive study funded by the U.S. Department of Justice under the Carter administration, and continues through subsequent studies of lawyer-client relationships in Canada, contingency fee legal practice, and insuran...
The Yearbook of Private International Law series, an annual publication now published by Sellier. European Law Publishers in cooperation with the Swiss Institute of Comparative Law, provides analysis and information on private international law (PIL) developments world-wide. This sixth volume looks rather "Euro-centric", due to the impressive and continuous rhythm at which the creation of a European system of PIL is progressing at the European Community level. Contributions include discussion of the proposal for a Rome II regulation on conflict of laws in torts, as well as an analysis of the Avello decision, which could create a new framework for the development of PIL in Europe. Additional articles focus on the national conflict systems of some European states. An important comparative study discusses the treatment of foreign tax laws and judgments in four major European countriesâ??United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Italy. The actual and controversial issue of registered partnership is discussed from the perspective of Spanish law. Additionally, an English translation of the latest national PIL codificationâ??the recent Belgian Codeâ??is included.
With articles by Jürgen Basedow, Jan von Hein, Dorothee Janzen, Hans-Jürgen Puttfarken, François Dessemontet, Tito Ballarino, Benedetta Ubertazzi, Willibald Posch, Roberto Baratta and Luigi Fumagalli, national reports from Spain, Poland and Israel, news from The Hague as well as texts, materials and recent developments.
This book contains the first major comparative study of litigation costs and methods of funding litigation in more than 30 jurisdictions. It was linked with the most comprehensive review of costs ever carried out in England and Wales by Lord Justice Jackson in 2009 and benefited from the assistance of leading practitioners around the globe. The study analyses the principles and rules that relate to paying courts, witnesses and lawyers, and the rules on cost shifting, if any. It also notes the major ways in which litigation can be funded, identifying the global trend on contraction of legal aid, the so far limited spread of contingency fees, and the growing new phenomenon of private third par...
El presente volumen colectivo tiene como objetivo cooperar a la renovación del Derecho agrario, y presentar algunas propuestas legislativas que sirvan a la rentabilidad del sector. Fundamentalmente, están relacionadas con los desafíos más próximos y actuales en los que se ve inmerso este sector, en su vertiente agroalimentaria y agroambiental, teniendo en cuenta la nueva PAC y los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible 2030. Así, el tema central no podría ser otro que lo relativo a los retos tecnológicos y a la innovación, siendo la principal apuesta por el futuro, pues como está previsto en la próxima PAC 2020-2027 el sector agrario, ganadero y forestal debe avanzar inexorablemente p...
Una de las principales preocupaciones de todo sistema hipotecario ha sido siempre la correcta identificación de las fincas. Si no se sabe cómo es la finca y dónde se encuentra ubicada, difícilmente se podrá garantizar la propiedad, la prosperidad pública, el crédito territorial, la circulación de la riqueza, la adquisición de bienes inmuebles o la debida seguridad a quienes se sirven de aquélla. Desde la promulgación de la Ley Hipotecaria de 1861 la sociedad ha evolucionado y con ella, necesariamente, también lo ha hecho el mercado inmobiliario, tanto en su extensión como en su complejidad. La indicada evolución ha venido acompañada en los últimos años, de un desarrollo tecn...
