This book was released on 2002 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays by his friends and colleagues honours Sir Peter North's remarkable career and outstanding contribution to private international law. It takes as its theme the reform and development of private international law, reflecting the three different levels at which the development and reform of private international law takes place. Robin Morse discusses the creeping codification of private international law. Trevor Hartley draws attention to an area of private international law, that relating to matrimonial property, which is entirely judge-made. Joost Blom shows how quickly the judges, in this case in the Supreme Court of Canada, can develop private international law once they set their mind to it. Sir Lawrence Collins discusses the concept of comity in modern private international law. Writers too have had their part to play in the development of private international law; this is the subject of the contribution by Ole Lando. Kurt Siehr looks at the impact of international instruments on national private international law and the problems that this throws up. A number of contributors discuss various aspects of the ever-growing Europeanization of private international law. Ian Fletcher focuses on the EC Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings and its impact upon established law and practice in England and Wales. Paul Beaumont examines questions of legal basis and external competence and the best way for the UK and Europe to be represented in issues of private international law globally as well as offering a technical analysis of the contract provision of the Brussels I Regulation. Hans Ulrich Jessurun d'Oliveira examines the uneasy relationship between the European Union and private international law and the movement towards eroding the latter. Peter Nygh compares declining jurisdiction under the Brussels I Regulation and the preliminary draft Hague Judgments Convention. Other contributors have concentrated on aspects of the reformof private international law on a world-wide basis. Jonathan Harris discusses the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Trusts and on their Recognition 1985 in his examination of the trust in private international law. Not surprisingly there is much discussion in this book of the ambitious project that has been absorbing the Hague Conference for nearly ten years, namely a Hague Convention on Jurisdiction and Foreign Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters. David McClean discusses the history of the project and, if it does fail, a possible way forward. Ron Brand suggests a more modest goal at the Hague Conference, namely a choice of court plus recognition convention. Whatever the fate of the Hague Judgments Convention, the work undertaken at the Hague can still be used in the future. It can inform the discussion of what we should do in intellectual property cases in private international law, which is the subject of James Fawcett's contribution.

Book Synopsis Principles of the Conflict of Laws by : Kurt Lipstein
Download or read book Principles of the Conflict of Laws written by Kurt Lipstein and published by Brill Archive. This book was released on 1981-09-16 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a revised updated version of the General Course of Lectures on Private International Law delivered at the Hague Academy of International Law in 1990. The overall purpose is to examine the development & reform of choice of law rules in a number of common law jurisdictions. Much has been written about the 'Revolution' in conflict of laws in the U.S.A.; rather less account, however, has been taken of the major changes elsewhere in the common law world. This work serves to provide a critical account of those developments over the past few decades. Some changes are more recent & of international origin, such as the European Community Rome Convention (1980) on the law applicable to contractual obligations or the Hague Conventions on Child Abduction (1980), on Marriage (1978) & on Succession (1988), & consideration is given to their impact on common law jurisdictions. The process of change is a continuous one & attention is also devoted to current proposals for reform in the fields, for example, of domicile & torts.

Book Synopsis Private International Law and Global Governance by : Horatia Muir Watt
Download or read book Private International Law and Global Governance written by Horatia Muir Watt and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary debates about the changing nature of law engage theories of legal pluralism, political economy, social systems, international relations (or regime theory), global constitutionalism, and public international law. Such debates reveal a variety of emerging responses to distributional issues which arise beyond the Western welfare state and new conceptions of private transnational authority. However, private international law tends to stand aloof, claiming process-based neutrality or the apolitical nature of private law technique and refusing to recognize frontiers beyond than those of the nation-state. As a result, the discipline is paradoxically ill-equipped to deal with the most significant cross-border legal difficulties - from immigration to private financial regulation - which might have been expected to fall within its remit. Contributing little to the governance of transnational non-state power, it is largely complicit in its unhampered expansion. This is all the more a paradox given that the new thinking from other fields which seek to fill the void - theories of legal pluralism, peer networks, transnational substantive rules, privatized dispute resolution, and regime collision - have long been part of the daily fare of the conflict of laws. The crucial issue now is whether private international law can, or indeed should, survive as a discipline. This volume lays the foundations for a critical approach to private international law in the global era. While the governance of global issues such as health, climate, and finance clearly implicates the law, and particularly international law, its private law dimension is generally invisible. This book develops the idea that the liberal divide between public and private international law has enabled the unregulated expansion of transnational private power in these various fields. It explores the potential of private international law to reassert a significant governance function in respect of new forms of authority beyond the state. To do so, it must shed a number of assumptions entrenched in the culture of the nation-state, but this will permit the discipline to expand its potential to confront major issues in global governance.
Book Synopsis Trends of Private International Law by : Pavel Kalenský
Download or read book Trends of Private International Law written by Pavel Kalenský and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: to Seeking the answer to the three basic questions of contempo rary private international law, I also deemed it essential to out line to the reader the historical development of the different concepts of this particular branch of law, for without the know ledge of this history it is impossible to understand the contempo rary problems. The fact that private international law oscillates between public international law and substantive municipal law as it is applied in individual countries creates considerable problems in both theory and practice. I have tried to deal with these problems in the third part of my study, concerning "universa lism" and "nationalism" in the doctrine of private international law, as well as in its fourth part, which is devoted to the object and nature of this law and its place in the overall system of law. The character of private international law, ensuing from the plurality of municipal laws - which also characterize the origin and existence of comparative jurisprudence - in spired me to produce the fifth part of this study, which prima rily tries to expJain the theoretical problems of comparative jurisprudence but does so - defining its objectives and possibili ties - in order to underline at the same time its role in private international law and in the law of international trade.

This book was released on 1996-06-03 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this course devoted to the American approach of the international process of progressive development of private international law, Peter Pfund, Assistant Legal Adviser at the US Department of State, hopes to demystify the international process of unification/harmonization of "private" law at the international level. This study is primarily focused on the process of harmonization as such. Peter Pfund starts his course by a general introduction to the international unification of private international law. He explains in what follows how the United States prepares for and participates in international meetings and conferences, ratifies conventions, and seeks to make the conventions concerning private international law work. Peter Pfund then looks at the role of the United States in intergovernmental negotiations and the success of conventions, at the model laws and rules that are its results, at the major current and future projects, and at the usefulness of the unification/harmonization of private international law. The author then presents the 1980 United Nations Convention on contracts for the international sale of goods as an example of the international and United States domestic processes. Lastly, he analyses the 1993 Hague Intercounty Adoption Convention: problems confronting the United States in its negotiation, and issues that need to be resolved in order to ratify the convention"--Publisher's description.

Book Synopsis Essays in Private International Law by : Peter Machin North
Download or read book Essays in Private International Law written by Peter Machin North and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nine essays collected here, some originally delivered as lectures, others written as law journal articles, have all appeared over the past fifteen years. They examine issues of topical importance in the three traditional areas of private international law: the jurisdiction of the courts, choice of the applicable law, and the recognition of foreign judgments. These areas are discussed with reference to a wide range of subject issues, in particular contract, tort, family law, and some aspects of property law. A major theme is reform and change, not only within the United Kingdom, but also as a consequence of developments within the European Community and in the light of proposals in the U.S. and worldwide.
Book Synopsis Civil Law Reforms in Post-Colonial Asia by : Yuka Kaneko
Download or read book Civil Law Reforms in Post-Colonial Asia written by Yuka Kaneko and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the legal systems of the late-developing countries of ASEAN (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam, often referred to as the CLMV countries). These nations are apt to be placed in an economically disadvantageous situation within the opportunity of communalization of legal systems being advanced by the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) launched in 2015, and the book clarifies the dynamics of the changes within these legal systems. Concurrently, there is an intention to analyze the “legal system development support” that has continued to be provided to these countries since the mid-1990s via international development support from international organizations and developed countries including Japan. In particular, the emphasis has been on the area of civil law, where the main subject of Japan’s support has been centered on the civil code and civil procedure code. The legal system of the recipient country is complicated by the crisscrossing of the remnants of previous eras, from the inherent laws that have existed since before colonization, the laws of the colonial powers that were introduced during the colonial era (French law in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam; English law in Myanmar), the influence of socialist law after independence from colonization, and the path of modern industrialization and development, such that one country's legal system is the combination of all of these influences. For the reader to understand the dynamics of these changing laws, each chapter of the book combines two methodological perspectives. The first is to ascertain the spatial range as to how far the civil law extends across social phenomena. The second is a historical perspective in which the trends in legal changes will be understood on a time axis.

This book was released on 2017-11-04 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book asserts that the Pacific Islands continue to struggle with the colonial legacy of plural legal systems, comprising laws and legal institutions from both the common law and the customary legal system. It also investigates the extent to which customary principles and values are accommodated in legislation. Focusing on Samoa, the author argues that South Pacific countries continue to adopt a Western approach to law reform without considering legal pluralism, which often results in laws which are unsuitable and irrelevant to Samoa. In the context of this system of law making, effective law reform in Samoa can only be achieved where the law reform process recognises the legitimacy of the two primary legal systems. The book goes on to present a law reform process that is more relevant and suitable for law making in the Pacific Islands or any post-colonial societies.
Book Synopsis Development Law and International Finance by : Rumu Sarkar
Download or read book Development Law and International Finance written by Rumu Sarkar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-06-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Development law has increasingly gained in importance for the international law practitioner in a world where unprecedented global interdependence has raised numerous legal and practice-oriented questions. Development Law and International Finance presents a comprehensive analytical framework for understanding development law issues from both a theoretical and practical viewpoint. The book analyzes this growing body of law in the context of the policy framework of 'Rule of Law' programs aimed at legal reform and structural legal change. The text also examines emerging constitutional and substantive principles of development law and the institutional framework in which it is unfolding. The author further discusses structural legal reform in the financial sector, and the extent to which private international transactions act as a catalyst for such legal reforms. In addition, the text critically reviews the changing role of capital markets. Finally, "Development Law and International Finance addresses the international human rights dimension of development and, in particular, the question of whether there is a human right to development. The book constitutes a valuable contribution to this emerging legal discipline and is essential reading for international legal practitioners, public international law experts, and policy makers involved in the development process. The author is the Assistant General Counsel for Administrative Affairs with the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and an Adjunct Law Professor at the Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C.
