In this classic work on criminal law, Wills explores the use of circumstantial evidence in criminal trials. Drawing on numerous case examples, he argues that circumstantial evidence can often be just as reliable as direct evidence in proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.

Der Schutz ¿wirtschaftlich-virtueller¿ Gesellschafter rückte wegen verschiedener Urteile, die im Zusammenhang mit der Dotierung gemäß § 340g HGB (Fonds für allgemeine Bankrisiken) ergangen sind, in den Fokus der Verfasserin. Zentrales Problem der Gläubiger der Gesellschaften war die Vereitelung ihrer erfolgsbezogenen Vergütungs- und Rückzahlungsansprüche durch missbräuchliches Ausschöpfen der von Gesetzes wegen eingeräumten Handlungsspielräume. Zur Abstrahierung dieser Problematik wird nicht nur der Sammelbegriff der ¿wirtschaftlich-virtuellen¿ Gesellschafter für die betroffenen Gläubiger eingeführt, sondern gleichsam eine Untersuchung verschiedener Umgehungsmöglichkeiten bei unterschiedlichen Gesellschaftsformen angestellt. Die Arbeit untersucht daher mögliche risikobehaftete Maßnahmen an der Schnittstelle von Schuld- und Gesellschaftsrecht, den bisher bestehenden vertraglichen sowie materiellrechtlichen Schutz und bietet Lösungen auf prozessualer Ebene an.

"Start building bridges instead of barriers! This essential guide offers a simple 4-part framework that will help you have honest and enlightening conversations despite deep and fundamental disagreements. Divisions are on the rise around the world, and 2024 may well be a peak year. We're losing the ability to disagree without demonizing. There is a deep need for this practical and accessible guide to having challenging conversations in any situation, from the workplace to the classroom to the dinner table. It's not about saying the right words at the right time but something vastly deeper. In this book, you'll discover the 4 pillars of respectfully disagreeing: Focus on learning not lecturing; Fill in the gaps with curiosity not conclusions; Find the grey, not the black and white; Formulate your plan to humanize and not harm. But this is not a weighty tome. Each chapter features a cartoon, and Justin Jones-Fosu tackles this serious subject with a playful and compassionate tone. For example, he writes "I have become more and more intentional in my desire to respectfully disagree with others (except those who think putting ketchup on eggs is wrong...there is no hope for respect there)." With a wide range of examples and exercises throughout, this is a timely and reader-friendly handbook to disagreeing with someone's ideology while passionately pursuing their humanity"--

Der ordre public-Vorbehalt im Schiedsverfahrensrecht ist eine abstrakte Materie, die erst durch eine Aufarbeitung der legislativen Vorbereitungen zu den entsprechenden Regelwerken auf internationaler und nationaler Ebene sowie durch die Analyse der Rechtsprechung an Konturen gewinnt. In diesem Werk werden die einzelnen Materien geschildert, in denen ordre public-Verstöße angenommen werden, aber auch die übergreifenden Zusammenhänge herausgearbeitet. Insofern verdient der Ansatz des Verfassers, ein abstraktes Anwendungsmuster zu finden, durchaus Zuspruch. Er ist für eine rechtsvergleichende Arbeit, die deutsches und russisches Recht vergleichend behandelt, ein wertvolles tertium comparationis.

Zunehmend komplexe Vertragsstrukturen führen dazu, dass mehrere Verträge umfassende Streitigkeiten auch auf Ebene der Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit an Relevanz gewinnen. Die Durchführung schiedsgerichtlicher Mehrvertragsverfahren bringt indes Herausforderungen mit sich, welche nicht zuletzt in der privatautonomen Natur der Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit wurzeln. Die Autorin greift dieses praxisrelevante Thema auf und bewertet die Chancen und Risiken derartiger Verfahren. Dies geschieht durch wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit den spezifischen Herausforderungen schiedsgerichtlicher Mehrvertragsverfahren (auch unter Beteiligung Mehrerer), der Erörterung erforderlicher Verfahrensanpassungen sowie vergleichender Analyse der nationalen sowie institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen und Bestimmungen hierzu.

How we understand what procedure is due as a fundamental or constitutional right can have a critical impact on designing a civil procedure. Drawing on comparative law and empirically oriented methodologies, in this book the author provides a thorough analysis of how procedural due process is understood both in national jurisdictions and in the field of international human rights law.The book offers a suitable due process theory for civil matters in general, assessing the different roles that this basic international human right plays in comparison with criminal justice. In this regard, it argues that the civil justice conception of due process has grown under the shadow of criminal justice for too long. Moreover, the theory answers the question of what the basic requirements are concerning the right to a fair trial on civil matters, i.e., the question of what we can and cannot sacrifice when designing a civil procedure that correctly distributes the risk of moral harm while remaining accessible to people with complex and simple legal needs, in order to reconcile the requirements of procedural fairness with social demands for justice.This book makes a valuable contribution to the field of civil justice, legal design, and access to justice by providing an empirically based normative theory regarding the right to a fair trial. As such, it will be of interest to a broad audience: policymakers, practitioners and judges, but also researchers and scholars interested in theoretical questions in jurisprudence, and those familiar with empirical legal studies, comparative law, and other socio-legal studies.

Recent legislative changes in England and Wales have eroded children's ability to exercise their article 12 UNCRC rights to information, consultation and representation when parents separate. However, children's voices may be heard through child-inclusive mediation (CIM). Considered from a children's rights perspective, this book provides a critical socio-legal account of CIM practice. It draws on in-depth interviews with relationship professionals, mediators, parents and children, to consider the experiences, risks and benefits of CIM. It investigates obstacles to greater uptake of CIM and its role in improving children's wellbeing and agency. Exploring the culture and practice changes necessary for a more routine application of CIM, the book demonstrates how reconceptualising CIM through a children's rights framework could help to address barriers and improve outcomes for children.

Commercial Litigation in Anglophone Africa details the broad framework of the private international law rules in operation in each of the sixteen Anglophone jurisdictions considered (Botswana, Gambia, Ghana, Eswatini, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe). The authors identify and provide a refined explanation of the law to be applied as it relates to: (i) civil jurisdiction over commercial disputes involving a foreign element; (ii) the enforcement of foreign judgments; and (iii) the availability and nature of the interim remedies, in each of the sixteen jurisdictions addressed. The authors have also provided comprehensive coverage of the potential availability of an anti-suit injunction (in common law jurisdictions) or anti-suit interdict (in Roman-Dutch law jurisdictions). ContentConsideration of the various ways in which a court can assume jurisdiction over a business dispute in common law jurisdictions (Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia) and Roman-Dutch law jurisdictions (Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe); Discussion of the potential benefits and difficulties which commercial litigants will experience in legal systems where jurisdiction is based entirely on service of process and in legal systems where jurisdiction is based on attachment of the defendant's person or property. In this respect, in particular, the second edition details the further entrenchment of the principle of forum non conveniens into the civil law of jurisdiction in the Republic of South Africa; An examination of the circumstances in which a court, once seised of jurisdiction over a business dispute, may, on the application of one of the parties, decline jurisdiction in deference to another jurisdiction; A detailed appraisal of the various mechanisms, both statutory and non-statutory, which are available to litigants seeking to enforce or prevent the enforcement of a foreign judgment in the jurisdictions covered; and Consideration of the various interim/interlocutory remedies available to commercial litigants in each of the jurisdictions addressed. Specifically, the work concentrates on the principles which govern, inter alia: asset freezing (and asset disclosure) orders; search and seize orders; third-party disclosure orders; anti-suit injunctions / interdicts, res litigiosa orders.

Die Rechtsbehelfe in der Zwangsvollstreckung sind immer wieder Gegenstand des juristischen Diskurses, innerhalb legislativer Reformbestrebungen führen sie aber ein Schattendasein. Trotz ihrer häufig kritisierten Komplexität bestehen die Normen über die vollstreckungsspezifischen Rechtsbehelfe seit dem Inkrafttreten der Zivilprozessordnung nahezu inhaltsgleich. Diese Dissertation zeigt die mit dem bestehenden Rechtsbehelfssystem in der Zwangsvollstreckung einhergehenden Probleme auf und beantwortet die Frage, inwieweit es zur Lösung aktueller Fragestellungen geeignet ist. Vorgestellt werden konkrete Vorschläge zur Reform der geltenden Vorschriften sowie zur Einführung bislang ungeschriebener Rechtsbehelfe.

This book offers a unique insight into the world of standard-setting organizations (SSOs)' IPR policies and the role they play in balancing the interests of innovators and implementers, vis-à-vis the development of standards. Since the beginning of the 21st century, there have been quite a few questions asked of the SSOs as to the legality of their IPR policies and the enforceability of disclosure and licensing obligations enshrined therein. That, coupled with disagreements over the appropriate royalty rate and royalty base, has resulted in extensive litigation between innovators and implementers, especially across the Atlantic. The Book, in keeping the USA and EU as the two primary jurisdictions, offers a comprehensive analysis of the disclosure and licensing obligations under SSO IPR policies, with strong theoretical foundations justifying their imposition. More specifically, it offers a bird's eye view of the various facets of disclosure and licensing, ranging from non-disclosure and transparency on one hand, to the determination of FRAND on the other. While much has been said about the benefits arising out of collaborative standard-setting, disputes involving SEP licensing have not been limited to the courts, and have attracted a significant amount of scrutiny by competition/antitrust agencies. The Book provides an elaborate account of the anti-competitive concerns surrounding standard-setting, and further documents the role of courts and competition agencies in ensuring good faith licensing negotiations between the SEP holders and implementers. Despite largely focusing on SEP licensing disputes in the USA and EU, the Book also offers a dedicated chapter on standard-setting in the Indian context. The readers are presented with an in-depth discussion on the contrasting approaches adopted by the courts and the Competition Commission of India (CCI), in addressing disputes involving SEPs. The said discussion is supplemented by a careful analysis of the SEP licensing guidelines to have emerged out of other implementer-oriented economies like China and Japan. By doing so, the Book offers readers the opportunity to study and compare the SEP licensing framework in developed, as well as developing economies. SSO IPR policies play an integral role in the development of standards, and with technologies such as the Internet of Things and 5G knocking on the doors, the Book makes for a valuable study on the nuances of standard-setting through the lens of SSOs, and will find takers among a wide reader base of students, researchers, academics, law practitioners, corporates, and policy makers.

This book provides a practical, user-friendly guide to help navigate the various intricacies and potential pitfalls involved in amending statements of case or changing the composition of the parties. There are few factors in civil litigation of more fundamental importance than who is bringing it, who is defending it, and how they frame their respective cases. Whether due to inadvertence, a miscalculation of strategy, or simply because of the evolving landscape of the proceedings, it is commonplace for the parties to wish to alter these factors during the course of a case and to make an adjustment to their course. 'A Practical Guide to Adding or Amending Parties or Causes of Action to a Claim in Civil Proceedings' sets out the procedural requirements and possible difficulties in doing so, as well as providing pragmatic tactical advice for those acting for and against the party in such a position. The book addresses issues such as late applications to amend, multi-party litigation, discontinuance, and the impact of limitation periods.ABOUT THE AUTHORRyan Hocking was called to the Bar in 2014 and practises from Gatehouse Chambers.

Das Verhältnis des bundesrechtlich geregelten Kartellrechts zu Teilbereichen der Rechtsordnung, die in die Zuständigkeit der Länder fallen, ist eine seit Jahrzehnten nur unvollständig aufbereitete Fragestellung. Die vorliegende Arbeit hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, die insoweit bestehende, mitunter diffuse, Gemengelage zu entwirren. Dabei werden anhand verschiedener Beispiele aus dem Bereich des Rundfunkrechts, des Glücksspielrechts sowie der kommunalen Daseinsvorsorge kompetenzrechtliche Erosionen offengelegt und sodann auf ihre Vereinbarkeit auf den grundgesetzlichen Kompetenzrahmen analysiert. Dabei wird auch eine unionsrechtliche Überlagerung des Kartellrechts untersucht. Anschließend wird geprüft, ob die hierbei offen zu Tage tretende Erosion der bundesstaatlichen Kompetenzordnung vor dem Hintergrund anderer Rechtsgrundsätze, etwa dem Grundsatz der Bundestreue, oder sogar einer grundsätzlich vorzugswürdigeren Passform des Kartellrechts zur Regelung der fraglichen Bereiche gerechtfertigt erscheint. Die sich aus der Untersuchung ergebenden Ergebnisse sind anschließend zusammengefasst.

Das Fundrecht in §§ 965 ff. BGB birgt vielfältige Schwierigkeiten. Die Autorin befasst sich mit der Frage, was für eine Rolle der Besitz für das Fundrecht spielt und was eigentlich für den Fund entscheidend ist. Sie überprüft, ob die berühmte Formel von Martin Wolff und der h. M. ¿verloren sind alle besitzlos, aber nicht herrenlos gewordenen Sachen" in Grenzfällen passt. Dabei ist sie darum bemüht, die verschiedenen möglichen Fallkonstellationen kontrastierend gegenüberzustellen. Darüber hinaus klärt die Autorin die Fundvoraussetzungen auf Seiten des Finders und behandelt das Problem, ob ein Besitzmittlungsverhältnis zum Empfangsberechtigten anzunehmen ist. Die Arbeit, die sich die Besitzproblematik mit den Fundvoraussetzungen verknüpft, ist durchaus innovativ.

The Parthenon marbles case is the most famous international cultural heritage dispute concerning repatriation of looted antiquities, the Parthenon marbles in the British Museum¿s ¿Elgin Collection¿. The case has polarised observers ever since Elgin had the marbles hacked out of the ancient temple at the turn of the 19th century in Ottoman-occupied Athens. In 1816, a debt-stricken Elgin sold the marbles to the British government, which subsequently entrusted them to the British Museum, where they have remained since then.Much ink has been spilled on the Parthenon marbles. The ethical and cultural merits of their repatriation have been fiercely debated for years. But what has generally not been considered are the legal merits of their return in light of contemporary international law. This book is the first in legal scholarship to provide an international law perspective of the cause célèbre of international cultural heritage disputes and, in doing so, toclarify the new customary international law on the return of cultural property unlawfully removed from its original context.The book, which includes a foreword by Andrew Wallace-Hadrill, is a unique reference work on the legal case for the return of the Parthenon marbles and the new normative framework for the protection of cultural heritage.

Intended for students, the core of this book is a synthesis of Joseph Chitty's Treatise on Pleading and Parties to Actions (1809), Henry John Stephen's Treatise on the Principles of Pleading in Civil Actions (1824), Albert Venn Dicey's Treatise on the Rules for the Selection of the Parties to an Action (1870) and the third book of William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England (1768). Its historical sections are drawn primarily from Frederick Pollock and F.W. Maitland's The History of English Law Before the Time of Edward I (1895), James Bradley Thayer's The Development of Trial by Jury (1896), Melville M. Bigelow's History of Procedure in England (1880) and Oliver Wendell Holmes's, The Common Law (1881). xxvi, 494 pp.

Cet ouvrage porte sur l¿importance des paramètres culturels dans le domaine de la traduction juridique. Afin de corroborer la pertinence de ces aspects extralinguistiques, le travail est organisé en deux parties¿: une partie théorique et une autre pratique. La partie théorique aborde les systèmes juridiques français et espagnol, le langage et le texte juridiques et la traduction juridique elle-même, notamment les problèmes que les différences culturelles posent et les stratégies à suivre pour y faire face. Concernant la partie pratique, elle concerne l¿analyse conceptuelle contrastive, fondée sur la terminologie pénale française et sa traduction en espagnol péninsulaire. Cette analyse, organisée en quatre niveaux¿(supra, macro, micro et nanoconcepts juridiques), vise à faciliter la tâche du traducteur dans un domaine, le droit, qui est caractérisé par le manque de référents universels. Ainsi, cet ouvrage constitue une recherche dans laquelle la juritraductologie, le droit et la traduction sont combinés de manière théorique et appliquée.
