Book Synopsis Contractual Performance and COVID-19 by : Franz Schwarz
Download or read book Contractual Performance and COVID-19 written by Franz Schwarz and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2021-11-25 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to take its toll, contractual parties have frequently faced significant obstacles in performing their contractual obligations due to unexpected impediments arising from the pandemic and government measures taken in response. This indispensable book – the most comprehensive comparative examination of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on contractual performance – discusses the legal provisions and doctrines available to address these issues. The book examines under what circumstances COVID-19-related impediments may excuse contractual performance or lead to modification or termination of the affected contractual obligations in twelve representative civil and common law jurisdictions – the United States, England and Wales, Singapore, Brazil, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Hong Kong, Costa Rica, China, and Russia. For each country, the book examines the following aspects in depth: the relevant fundamental legal principles; the various legal emergency valves available to an obligor to respond to COVID-19-related events; any remedies available to the obligee; selected examples for specific government measures related to particular types of contracts (e.g., construction, employment, lease agreements); and how the legal framework applies in typical factual scenarios. As further legal and factual developments occur, and with further jurisdictions being added, this publication will continue to be updated both online and in print. The book provides a detailed explanation under what conditions the emergency valves specific to each jurisdiction may apply. It cuts through the seeming complexity of the various legal rules and doctrines in these jurisdictions and shows that they often produce similar results in practice. The book thus opens up a wealth of insights for businesses, practitioners, and academics around the globe by providing an easily accessible analytical framework across key jurisdictions and typical factual scenarios. ‘Definitely mandatory reading for practitioners and academics alike!’ –Klaus Peter Berger, University of Cologne ‘Everyone who has had or is likely to have a brush with a COVID-19-induced legal issue would be well advised to keep this book within arm’s reach.’ – Davinder Singh, Davinder Singh Chambers LLC, Singapore ‘The “holy book” for all those lawyers whose clients become ensnared in the rising attempts to fix legal liability midst the rampant COVID-19.’ – Charles Brower, Twenty Essex, London

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a comprehensive and comparative analysis of the legal approach to key areas of law within different legal systems, this book offers a blueprint for comparative legal study by evaluating the current epistemological debate on comparative law and comparative legal research methods. Substantive law, the law of obligations, commercial and corporate law within the major legal systems of the world are all examined and compared. While France and Germany are generally used as the archetypal civil law jurisdictions and English law as the main common law comparator, this third edition also examines the Russian Federation in the post-Soviet era and socialist legal influences as well as non-Western legal traditions. Fully updated and revised to include all recent developments, this edition also includes a broad historical introduction and outlines changes in EC Law. It assesses the possibility of Europeanization of national legal systems and certain legal topics, the impact of the globalization of legal institutions and the evolving 'new world order' in the early twenty-first century. Written in a clear, user-friendly style, Comparative Law in a Changing World is an accessible source for undergraduates and postgraduates wishing to trace the influence of common law and civil law legal traditions on jurisdictions across the world.

Book excerpt: To order a paperback version of this casebook, please click here. This innovative coursebook on Louisiana's law of obligations covers the law of contractual obligations in particular and the General Principles that govern the whole law of "Obligations." It features carefully edited excerpts from Louisiana judicial opinions and scholarly writings, as well as citations to pertinent articles of the Louisiana Civil Code. Additionally, this coursebook includes features that most others do not. Following each case is a series of questions, some designed to direct students to the significant points of the court's analysis, others designed to deepen students' understanding of civil law methodology. This book not only provides students (and lawyers) with a comprehensive introduction to Louisiana's law of Obligations, but also invites readers to draw comparisons between that law and the complimentary law of other legal systems. "Many will praise the authors for having adopted and applied all through this casebook an approach intentionally comparative as evidenced by the sub-title of the work... One will recognize all through this volume the well-known qualities and features that are customarily found in the scholarly world of the 'civilistes', the specialists of the civil law: a well-organized and structured thinking process unfolding according to a clear and logical plan and expressed in a precise and elegant language." -- Xavier Blanc-Jouvan, Professor emeritus University of Paris II; Treasurer, International Academy of Comparative La; former President, Société de Législation Comparée (translated from French)
Book Synopsis Reforming the French Law of Obligations by : John Cartwright
Download or read book Reforming the French Law of Obligations written by John Cartwright and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-04-17 with total page 950 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2005 Avant-projet de réforme du droit des obligations et de la prescription, also dubbed the Avant-projet Catala, suggests the most far-reaching reform of the French Civil code since it came into force in 1804. It reviews central aspects of contract law, the law of delict and the law of unjustified enrichment. There is currently a very lively debate in France as to the merits or the demerits of both the particular draft provisions and the general idea of recodification as such. This volume is the first publication to introduce the reform proposals to an English speaking audience. It contains the official English translation of the text, and distinguished private lawyers from both England and France analyse and assess particularly interesting aspects of the substantive draft provisions in a comparative perspective. Topics covered include negotiation and renegotiation of contracts, la cause, the enforcement of contractual obligations, termination of contract and its consequences, the effects of contracts on third parties, the definition of la faute, the quantification of damages, and the law of prescription. The volume also contains an overall assessment of the draft provisions by one of the most senior French judges who chaired the Working Party on the Avant-projet, established by the French Supreme Court, the Cour de cassation. The book is indispensable for comparative private lawyers and lawyers with a particular interest in French law. It is also of use to all private lawyers (both academics and practitioners) looking for information on recent international and European trends in contract and tort.
Book Synopsis Due Diligence Obligations in International Law by : Alice Ollino
Download or read book Due Diligence Obligations in International Law written by Alice Ollino and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-03 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due diligence obligations are typically described by scholars and practitioners as 'elusive', 'weak', and difficult to pin down in the abstract. Challenging these assumptions, this book offers a systematic reconstruction of the foundations of due diligence obligations of states and explores their nature, rationale, content and scope of operation in international law. Tackling due diligence from a general perspective, this book seeks to complement scholarly studies on public international law obligations and their theory. This book will be relevant for academics, practitioners, graduate students across international law and anyone seeking to better conceptualise due diligence under international law and understand how due diligence obligations are operationalised in practice.
Book Synopsis Enforcing Obligations Erga Omnes in International Law by : Christian J. Tams
Download or read book Enforcing Obligations Erga Omnes in International Law written by Christian J. Tams and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-12-01 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of obligations erga omnes - obligations to the international community as a whole - has fascinated international lawyers for decades, yet its precise implications remain unclear. This book assesses how this concept affects the enforcement of international law. It shows that all States are entitled to invoke obligations erga omnes in proceedings before the International Court of Justice, and to take countermeasures in response to serious erga omnes breaches. In addition, it suggests ways of identifying obligations that qualify as erga omnes. In order to sustain these results, the book conducts a thorough examination of international practice and jurisprudence as well as the recent work of the UN International Law Commission in the field of State responsibility. By so doing, it demonstrates that the erga omnes concept is solidly grounded in modern international law, and clarifies one of the central aspects of the international regime of law enforcement.

Book Synopsis Due Diligence Obligations in International Human Rights Law by : Maria Monnheimer
Download or read book Due Diligence Obligations in International Human Rights Law written by Maria Monnheimer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-18 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the importance of non-State actors ever increasing, the traditional State-centric approach of international law is being put to the test. In particular, significant accountability lacunae have emerged in the field of human rights protection. To address these challenges, this book makes a case for extraterritorial due diligence obligations of States in international human rights law. It traces back how due diligence obligations evolved on the international plane and develops a general analytical framework making the broad and vague notion of due diligence more approachable. The framework is applied to different fields of international law which provides guidance on how due diligence obligations can be better conceptualized. Drawing inspiration from these developments, the book analyses how extraterritorial human rights due diligence obligations could operate in practice and foster global human rights protection.
