Download or read book Foreign Judgments, Judicial Trailblazing and the Cost of Cross-Border Complexity written by Fenner L. Stewart and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This commentary examines the decision in Chevron Corp v Yaiguaje, which was released by the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) on 4 September 2015. In the case, the SCC considered whether a Canadian court had jurisdiction to recognise and enforce a US$9.51bn judgment against Chevron (and its wholly owned subsidiary), which was issued by an Ecuadorian court. The SCC held that it did. It reasoned that there was no requirement for a real and substantial connection between a foreign judgment debtor (or the dispute from which the judgment arose) and a Canadian court before such a court has jurisdiction to recognise and enforce a foreign judgment. As a result, it appears that Canadian courts may be applying the low domestic standard for recognising awards from another province to awards from foreign countries. The fallout from this case will prove to be divisive. Human rights advocates will celebrate this case, hoping that it signals that Canadian courts will be taking a more active role in holding extraction companies accountable for human rights violations and environmental damages abroad. Sceptics will fear this case, believing that Canada's new role as a judicial trailblazer will come at a cost, discouraging foreign investment and potentially undermining international relations.

Book Synopsis Innovation and the State by : Cristie Ford
Download or read book Innovation and the State written by Cristie Ford and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-07 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From social media to mortgage-backed securities, innovation carries both risk and opportunity. Groups of people win, and lose, when innovation changes the ground rules. Looking beyond formal politics, this new book by Cristie Ford argues that we need to recognize innovation, and financial innovation in particular, as a central challenge for regulation. Regulation is at the leading edge of politics and policy in ways that we have not yet fully grasped. Seemingly innocuous regulatory design choices have clear and profound practical ramifications for many of our most cherished social commitments. Innovation is a complex phenomenon that needs to be understood not only in technical terms, but also in human ones. Using financial regulation as her primary example, Ford argues for a fresh approach to regulation, which recognizes innovation for the regulatory challenge that it is, and which binds our cherished social values and our regulatory tools ever more tightly together.
Download or read book Tough Cases written by Russell Canan and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Tough Cases stands out as a genuine revelation. . . . Our most distinguished judges should follow the lead of this groundbreaking volume.” —Justin Driver, The Washington Post A rare and illuminating view of how judges decide dramatic legal cases—Law and Order from behind the bench—including the Elián González, Terri Schiavo, and Scooter Libby cases Prosecutors and defense attorneys have it easy—all they have to do is to present the evidence and make arguments. It's the judges who have the heavy lift: they are the ones who have to make the ultimate decisions, many of which have profound consequences on the lives of the people standing in front of them. In Tough Cases, judges from different kinds of courts in different parts of the country write about the case that proved most difficult for them to decide. Some of these cases received international attention: the Elián González case in which Judge Jennifer Bailey had to decide whether to return a seven-year-old boy to his father in Cuba after his mother drowned trying to bring the child to the United States, or the Terri Schiavo case in which Judge George Greer had to decide whether to withdraw life support from a woman in a vegetative state over the wishes of her parents, or the Scooter Libby case about appropriate consequences for revealing the name of a CIA agent. Others are less well-known but equally fascinating: a judge on a Native American court trying to balance U.S. law with tribal law, a young Korean American former defense attorney struggling to adapt to her new responsibilities on the other side of the bench, and the difficult decisions faced by a judge tasked with assessing the mental health of a woman who has killed her own children. Relatively few judges have publicly shared the thought processes behind their decision making. Tough Cases makes for fascinating reading for everyone from armchair attorneys and fans of Law and Order to those actively involved in the legal profession who want insight into the people judging their work.
Book Synopsis Institutional Challenges in the European Union by : Madeleine O. Hosli
Download or read book Institutional Challenges in the European Union written by Madeleine O. Hosli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union (EU) is a continuously evolving entity. Starting with six member states in the late 1950s, the EU currently encompasses fifteen states of Western Europe. It is expected to almost double in size in the near future, however, taking in a number of states located in Central and Eastern Europe, in addition to Cyprus and Malta. This dramatic increase has lead to an intensive debate on how the institutions of the EU should be adapted in order to cope with this growth. This book addresses the challenges that EU enlargement and institutional change imply for various policy fields, such as EU trade policy, agriculture and monetary policy in the framework of European economic and monetary union. It will be of interest to economists and political scientists seeking an up-to-date overview of institutional challenges facing the European Union

This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What role do the people play in defining and developing human rights? This volume explores the very topical issue of the lack of democratic legitimisation of national and international courts and the question of whether rendering the original process of defining human rights more democratic at the national and international level would improve the degree of protection they afford. The authors venture to raise the crucial question: When can a democratic society be considered to be mature enough so as to be trusted to provide its own definition of human rights obligations?
