Kaspar Krolop untersucht Covenants bei unbesicherten Darlehen, Genussrechten und weiteren Formen hybriden Kapitals. Diese unter dem Begriff "Risikokapital auf schuldrechtlicher Grundlage" zusammengefassten Vertragsgestaltungen sind ein Anwendungsbeispiel für transnationales Private Ordering durch komplexe Verträge mit Organisationselementen. Ein Fokus der Arbeit liegt auf der rechtlichen Einordnung dieses Phänomens mit Folgerungen für die Abgrenzung von Vertrag und Verband unter Berücksichtigung der Implikationen für die Corporate Governance der zu finanzierenden Gesellschaft. Dabei spannt er den Bogen von vertragsrechtlichen Grundlagen und Erkenntnissen der Institutionenökonomik über gesellschafts-, kollisions- und europarechtliche Fragen bei der Verzahnung von deutschem Verbandsrecht mit ausländischem Recht unterliegenden Verträgen bis hin zu den konkreten Haftungsfragen im Vertrags-, Gesellschafts- und Insolvenzrecht. Der Autor entwickelt dabei ein international und interdisziplinär anschlussfähiges Einordnungsraster für schuldrechtliche Verträge mit Organisationselementen im Grenzbereich zwischen Austauschvertrag und Verband. Darüber hinaus bietet die Arbeit der Kautelarpraxis Orientierung im Hinblick auf die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Gestaltungsfreiheit bei Finanzierungsinstrumenten auf schuldrechtlicher Grundlage sowie mit diesen einhergehenden Haftungsrisiken.

This volume constitutes the final study of EUFams II, a research project on European family and succession law funded by the European Commission. Its contributors present historical developments, discuss the status quo, and draw the lines along which European family and succession law may develop in the near future. The volume endeavors to inspire its readership and the scientific community at large to engage in further research along and across these lines.

Till Markus untersucht die Bedeutung der Rechtsvergleichung für das Völkerrecht, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Gestaltung, Bestimmung und Anwendung seiner drei primären Rechtsquellen. Aufbauend auf einer Rekonstruktion der Entscheidungspraxis verschiedener internationaler Gerichte sowie ausgewählter Arbeiten der Völkerrechtskommission entwickelt er den Grundriss einer Methodik der Rechtsvergleichung im Völkerrecht. Die Untersuchung basiert auf der Annahme, dass methodisch angeleitete Rechtsvergleiche einen Beitrag zur Effektuierung und Ordnung des Völkerrechts leisten, indem sie das Maß an Rationalität, dogmatischer Klarheit und Legitimität völkerrechtlicher Vertragsgestaltung und gerichtlicher Entscheidungsfindung steigern.

Das deutsche Umwelt- und Infrastrukturrecht ist in ein Mehrebenensystem eingebunden und daher auch weitreichenden Einflüssen des Unionsrechts ausgesetzt. Die Integrations- und Interventionskraft der Europäischen Union beschränkt sich aber nicht nur auf legislative Rechtsakte. Auch der EuGH vermag durch seine Judikate spürbar auf die nationale Rechtsordnung einzuwirken. Diesen Einflüssen geht der vorliegende Tagungsband nach. Er dokumentiert dabei die wissenschaftlichen Fachvorträge, die im Rahmen des vom Institut für Umweltrecht der Universität Augsburg veranstalteten 5. Deutschen Umwelt- und Infrastrukturrechtstags gehalten wurden. Die Erschließung des Themas erfolgt im Kern durch eine Arbeit an Referenzthemen, wie insbesondere dem Wasserrecht, dem Energierecht, dem Naturschutz- und dem Immissionsschutzrecht. Eingerahmt werden diese Rechtsgebiete durch allgemeine Ausarbeitungen zum Rechtsschutz und zu den Grundlagen der Rechtsauslegung und Rechtsfortbildung durch den EuGH. Das Zusammenspiel von europäischem und nationalem Recht wird dabei durch rechtsvergleichende Überlegungen abgerundet.

Contributions from members of the German Association for Comparative Law will be among the papers presented at this summer's twentieth International Congress of Comparative Law, to be held for the first time in Asia at Fukuoka, Japan, in July. In a strong range of topics, one focus during the six-day congress will be on questions of multiculturalism and language that concern both comparative law methodology and other legal fields such as family law. Further dealt with will be matters particularly relevant to consumer protection, ranging from choice of court agreements to price control in contracts, duty of information, the regulation of crowd-funding, as well as leisure and travel contracts. Another focus will be on digitalisation's far-reaching economic, societal and legal implications, with questions of data protection in the realm of comparative law accentuated by contributions on the right to be forgotten or current national legal orders. Overall, the volume will reflect the present state of discussions within German jurisprudence.

The legal framework is an essential instrument in modern rule-of-law societies for defining standards of societal life. Of course, ways of governance by law may vary between legal systems and cultures, but in the analysis of legal governance instruments, the interplay between substantive standards and their procedural enforcement is always of central importance. In the pursuit of certain political or social goals, a legal system is basically faced with two options: the exertion of influence on the behaviour of its citizens either by means of preventive or of reactive instruments. The relationship of these two regulatory tools is a key element for the analysis and understanding of a legal system. With contributions by:Alexander Bruns, Maximilian Haedicke, Shiho Kato, Sebastian Krebber, Julia Caroline Scherpe, Masabumi Suzuki, Stefan Thönissen, Alisher Umirdinov, Jan von Hein, Miyuki Watanabe, Roman Würtenberger, Dai Yokomizo, Tomohiro Yoshimasa

Björn P. Ebert analyses forum shopping in international investment law. He focuses on investment treaty and investment contract arbitration, and concludes that forum shopping is legal and legitimate as long as it is not subject to particular limitations derived from applicable law. He assumes that forum shopping is generally a legitimate procedural technique that both parties to the dispute may employ in order to maximise the protection offered to international investment by international law. To validate the underlying thesis, the author analyses and differentiates between different manifestations of forum shopping. The main manifestations are categorised in three categories: forum planning, forum enhancement, and facilitation of procedure. Each category contains different forum shopping techniques. Björn P. Ebert examines and defines limitations for each category, as well as the manifestations of forum shopping that are assigned to them. He thereby addresses several issues of international investment arbitration that are essential to the perceived problem of forum shopping.

This volume is based on presentations delivered at a symposium held in May 2015 at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law in Hamburg. It seeks to reinvigorate the scholarly exchange which can be traced back to the late 19th century between company law academics in Germany, China, Japan and South Korea. Contributions from all four jurisdictions include papers on directors' liability and capital maintenance as well as studies of the role of shareholders in public companies and the regulation of groups of companies. With contributions by:Andreas Cahn, Ruoying Chen, Moon-Hee Choi, Kyung-Hoon Chun, Holger Fleischer, Gen Goto, Hans Christoph Grigoleit, Hideki Kanda, Hiroyuki Kansaku, Kon Sik Kim, Katja Langenbucher, Junhai Liu, Jianbo Lu, Kenichi Osugi, Hyeok-Joon Rho, Gerald Spindler, Eiji Takahashi

By their very nature, Special Economic Zones encompass various elements studied in the academic disciplines of economics, political science and law. While their objectives are determined by economics, and their structures, implications and limits by law, their implementation requires a certain combination and cooperation of political forces, something which has been the subject of political science enquiries. A conference held at Kyushu University in Fukuoka convened scholars from all these disciplines to put Special Economic Zones into perspective. The papers presented highlighted functions and structures, historical aspects, the political dimension and foreign equivalents of deregulation, the interplay of such zones, and constitutional considerations. Freedom of contract and competition law, plus the effects that these economy-boosting tools may have on labour and innovation are also dealt with.

As lawyers we are normally interested in various substantive areas of law; and as comparative lawyers we are interested in finding out about the differences and similarities between national legal systems. But from time to time we should also reflect on how we think and operate, and look at basic questions of legal methodology - both for the sake of understanding better what we do as lawyers immersed in our own legal systems and as lawyers attempting to assess and comprehend how foreign legal systems work. The nine essays in this volume are devoted to the topics of law-making today (with a focus on Japan, Turkey and Russia), judicial decision-making today (with a focus on England and Wales, Switzerland and Argentina), and legal scholarship today (with a focus on the United States, France and South Africa); and they thus revolve around the three protagonists of legal development: legislators, judges and professors.

In vielen Staaten bezieht die öffentliche Hand zur Erfüllung von Aufgaben der Daseinsvorsorge auch private Unternehmen ein. Azar Aliyev untersucht den Konzessionsvertrag als ein Instrument solcher öffentlich-privater Partnerschaften im russischen und kasachischen Recht. Konzession ist in beiden Staaten gesetzlich als Vertrag über Errichtung, Modernisierung, Betrieb und Rückübereignung von öffentlichen Infrastrukturobjekten durch Private definiert. Ebenso wie in Deutschland spielen dabei Privatrecht und öffentliches Recht zusammen; allerdings liegt der Schwerpunkt der Diskussion in den untersuchten Staaten anders als in Deutschland nicht im Verwaltungs-, sondern im Privatrecht.Die Arbeit diskutiert die Konzession auch als Mittel, im Kontext eher labiler juristischer Infrastruktur "Inseln der Stabilität" für langfristige und komplexe Großprojekte zu schaffen. Dabei werden viele Grundsatzfragen des Zivilrechts sowie des Wirtschaftsprivat- und Wirtschaftsverwaltungsrechts aufgegriffen und analysiert.

After the Vietnamese War, civil relations with foreign elements have increased and, consequently, private international law has gained some importance in Vietnam. However, both the relevant legal provisions and the practice of the courts in Vietnam are insufficient. Trinh Nguyen studies Vietnamese private international law in light of European developments. She focuses in particular on the general issues, contracts and torts. She describes and assesses the currently effective provisions of Vietnamese law and the corresponding judicial practice of the courts. Together with the knowledge of European private international law, with the main emphasis on the Rome I and Rome II Regulation, she makes use of comparative law to propose future developments for Vietnam based on the critical evaluation of the western doctrine.

The volume traces back to a symposium held at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law in Hamburg and offers a broad comparative analysis of company and capital markets law in Germany and the Nordic states. It details the special elements of company law in Scandinavia that developed amid the twin forces of innovative experimentation and the drive for harmonization, contrasting them with the distinctive features of German company law. Further contributions deal with the newly created entrepreneur company in Germany and Denmark, as well as the role of shareholders and boards in public companies. It also contains detailed analyses of the law of company groups in Germany and the Nordic states. the volume is further rounded out with contributions on capital markets law and takeover law, including issues involving acting in concert, ownership disclosure and the interaction between the legislator and the takeover panel in Sweden.
