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.

Cet ouvrage est une contribution au droit social européen portant sur la question de la rupture conventionnelle du contrat de travail à durée indéterminée. Si un tel mode de rupture est aujourd¿hui admis dans la majorité des États membres de l¿Union européenne, il est permis de s¿interroger sur les effets des législations nationales dans l¿organisation du marché du travail européen, notamment sur les droits des travailleurs. À l¿issue d¿une étude comparative sur les principes du droit des contrats, les éléments constitutifs de la relation de travail et l¿évolution de la politique sociale européenne, ces travaux proposent l¿élaboration d¿une norme européenne en vue d¿harmoniser un droit à la rupture conventionnelle du contrat de travail à durée indéterminée au sein de l¿Union européenne.

The aim of this book is to provide a clear, succinct, and readable exposition of the law of contract in England and Wales, covering all aspects of the subject from the formation of a binding agreement to remedies for its breach. As such, it will be of value to both law students and those studying for business degrees and non-legal professional exams. It is hoped that the book will fill the (often neglected) middle ground between brief introductions and the major but lengthy works on the subject. As well as discussing historic but still important cases, the book considers a wealth of recent decisions to give a firmly contemporary feel to its analysis.

FIDIC contracts are the most widely used contracts for international construction around the world and are used in many different jurisdictions, both common law and civil law.

This collection of essays provides a rich and contemporary discussion of the principle of pacta sunt servanda. This principle, which requires that valid agreements are to be honoured, is a cornerstone of contract law. Focusing on contributions from Asia, this book shows that, despite its natural and universal appeal, the pacta sunt servanda principle is neither absolute nor immutable. Exceptions to the binding force of contract must be available in limited circumstances to avoid hardship and unfairness.This book offers readers new comparative perspectives on the appropriate balance between contractual certainty and flexibility in an era of social instability. Expert authors, mostly from East and Southeast Asia, explore when their domestic legal systems allow exceptions from the binding force of contracts. Doctrines discussed include impossibility, frustration, change of circumstance, force majeure, illegality as well as rights of withdrawal. Other chapters consider the importance of the pacta principle in international law. The challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic feature strongly in the majority of contributions.

This book proposes three liability regimes to combat the wide responsibility gaps caused by AI systems - vicarious liability for autonomous software agents (actants); enterprise liability for inseparable human-AI interactions (hybrids); and collective fund liability for interconnected AI systems (crowds).Based on information technology studies, the book first develops a threefold typology that distinguishes individual, hybrid and collective machine behaviour. A subsequent social science analysis specifies the socio-digital institutions related to this threefold typology. Then it determines the social risks that emerge when algorithms operate within these institutions. Actants raise the risk of digital autonomy, hybrids the risk of double contingency in human-algorithm encounters, crowds the risk of opaque interconnections. The book demonstrates that the law needs to respond to these specific risks, by recognising personified algorithms as vicarious agents, human-machine associations as collective enterprises, and interconnected systems as risk pools - and by developing corresponding liability rules.The book relies on a unique combination of information technology studies, sociological institution and risk analysis, and comparative law. This approach uncovers recursive relations between types of machine behaviour, emergent socio-digital institutions, their concomitant risks, legal conditions of liability rules, and ascription of legal status to the algorithms involved.
