Global Perspectives on Civil Justice

Picó i Junoy J: Comparative Evidence Law

Comparative Evidence Law

Continental Law - US Law

This book offers a historically grounded study of judicial precedent as a source of law across major stages of Western legal development. Beginning with Roman law, it follows the changing role of judicial decisions through Visigothic law, the ius commune, Hispano-Portuguese legal tradition, and the formation of common law, before turning to modern debates on legal sources, legal reasoning, and the authority of courts. Rather than treating precedent as a phenomenon confined to a single legal tradition, the book examines how it assumes different forms and degrees of force in distinct legal orders, including both binding and persuasive authority. The study also situates these developments within broader transformations in legal thought, engaging with questions raised by codification, legal positivism, and the historical school. Its final chapters connect this long historical trajectory to the Brazilian legal experience and to contemporary discussions on the theoretical status of precedent in civil-law systems. Combining legal history with sustained conceptual analysis, the book develops an integrated account of precedent as a recurring and structurally significant feature of adjudication.

Judicial Precedent as a Source of Law

The book assumes a rational conception of proof and contributes a missing piece in its construction: a general theory of standards of proof, their functions, the manner in which they ought to be formulated, and their connection to due process and the duty to give reasons for judicial decisions. The reader will find a line of argument rich in suggestions on many evidentiary topics related to standards of proof, soundly grounded and supported by an extensive body of international scholarship and case-law. Particularly significant is the analytical perspective drawn from the tradition of civilian law countries. The book's core ideas are: 1) the justificatory irrelevance of the fact-finder's conviction or beliefs; 2) the methodological criteria for the correct formulation of standards of proof; 3) the political-moral considerations involved in determining the level of exactingness of each standard of proof; and 4) the idea that the duty to give reasons is not a substitute for the need to have standards of proof but rather, on the contrary, presupposes that such standards are in place. The book aims to ground a general theory of standards of proof that goes beyond the differences inherent to common law and civil law systems, and that cuts across both civil and criminal jurisdictions.

Die Fallsammlung enthält ausformulierte Lösungen vor allem zum Recht der ungerechtfertigten Bereicherung, zur Geschäftsführung ohne Auftrag und zum Deliktsrecht und trifft damit (auch in der Gewichtung) den typischen Bedarf von Prüfungskandidaten. Dem Leser wird freilich nicht nur die gutachtliche Bearbeitung vorgeführt, sondern zugleich der relevante Stoff in geeigneter Auswahl nähergebracht. Denn die gesetzlichen Schuldverhältnisse gelten mit Recht als schwieriger Stoff. Man denke an die bereicherungsrechtlichen Mehrpersonenverhältnisse, den tückischen § 817 Satz 2 BGB sowie an die berühmte Saldotheorie, ebenso an die tatbestandliche Ausdehnung der Geschäftsführung ohne Auftrag und schließlich an die Unschärfen in der Lehre von den Verkehrspflichten. All diese Komplikationen sorgen dafür, dass ein Schlüsselverständnis nicht ausreicht. Vielmehr müssen sich Studierende viele Probleme über mühsam angeeignetes Detailwissen erschließen. Dennoch setzen die hier vorgestellten Lösungen vor allem auf das »Verstehen« und haben so häufig eine recht kritische Sicht auf die Rechtsprechung.

Jus Privatum

The German Civil Code (BGB) contains only three general provisions governing the civil brokerage contract (§§ 652-654 BGB), yet these do little to define its contours. This falls short of reflecting the considerable practical importance of brokerage services, particularly in real estate transactions. The result has been undesirable developments in practice. Recent piecemeal legislative interventions, such as the 
 "client pays" principle
 (
 Bestellerprinzip
 ), were intended, among other things, to make housing more affordable, but have had only limited success and have created doctrinal inconsistencies. When speaking of 
 the
 broker or 
 the
 brokerage contract, one overlooks the fact that civil brokers and commercial brokers perform entirely different functions. Yet even the activities of civil brokers are far from homogeneous: online marketplaces, real estate brokers, and insurance brokers differ significantly from one another. Frank Spohnheimer investigates the causes of dysfunctions in brokerage practice and rethinks brokerage law on the basis of existing legal rules. Where necessary and appropriate, he interprets brokerage contracts as atypical agency contracts (
 Geschäftsbesorgungsverträge
 ), which entail a duty of subordination to the principal's interests. On this basis, the study develops a general law of brokerage-related agency contracts and delineates the duties of subordination applicable to the practically most important types of brokers: real estate brokers, insurance brokers, and consumer credit brokers. In doing so, it also provides new impetus for the revival of the commercial broker, a figure that many have already written off as obsolete.

Criminal Practice Series

This single volume explains the civil recovery regime under POCA 2002 in the magistrates' court for professionals. POCA 2002, Pt 5 contains the relevant primary legislation and includes the provisions that deal with the recovery of cash, listed assets, and bank accounts. There is considerable overlap in the principles and procedures that UK law enforcement must follow; from initial searches to the seizure and detention/freeze of assets before submitting an eventual forfeiture application. Providing expert commentary on POCA 2002, Pt 5 and the principles and procedures that must be followed this title ensures that practitioners can provide practical guidance to individuals and corporates and includes all the relevant statutory provisions, rules, codes and forms. It answers questions such as: - Why would a client's bank account be frozen? - If HMRC successfully applies to freeze a client's bank account, how can I get the court order discharged? - If my client's cash is seized, how can I practically advise a client to get the funds returned? - If my client is subject to a criminal investigation and a civil investigation, how should I advise them? - If my client's bank accounts are frozen, how can everyday expenses, including paying legal fees, be met? This is a must have title for Financial crime legal professionals, Accountants, Compliance officers, Fraud analysts, Cyber security experts, and Anti-bribery and corruption specialists.

Law and Philosophy Library

International law operates under persistent normative fragmentation: specialised regimes have produced a decentralised body of norms prone to conflict. For many international lawyers, however, the debate now appears settled, buried by the International Law Commission’s work on systemic integration and the turn to regime interaction and normative pluralism. But the ghosts of fragmentation are revenants: they return precisely when the matter is believed to be settled. The triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution has made the haunting plain, revealing that the fractures once discussed as technical problems of consistency are symptoms of a deeper condition: a world whose ecological, legal, and political orders do not align. This book investigates how consistency is possible within a fragmented order.Rather than surveying the responses of international legal scholarship, the book offers a rational reconstruction of the concept of consistency in international law, making explicit the implicit logical structures through which legal actors reason. The book distinguishes facts, norms, and reasons as the building blocks of legal argumentation and shows how legal actors can derive statement-consistent conclusions even where the underlying norm-set is itself norm-inconsistent.International law, on this account, sustains itself not by eliminating inconsistency but by reasoning through it. Conflict avoidance operates upstream through meta-norms that affect validity and the conditions of applicability; where it fails, priority reasoning and reason-based argumentation determine which norm applies. The consistency achieved is local, provisional, and plural, but it is genuine, disciplined by constraints and accountable to the requirement of justification. The framework does not prescribe which priorities legal actors should adopt but it clarifies the grammar of the practice that instead makes these determinations. The book argues, however, that incorporating planetary boundaries as legal constraints would narrow the space of admissible outcomes in ways decisive for the planetary crisis.

International Law under the Planetary Crisis

Ordering the Fragments

Studies in Australian Law, Politics and History

This book lays out a roadmap for establishing common law recognition of Aboriginal customary law in Australia. Currently, Aboriginal customary law is recognised in limited circumstances through native title, which applies only to rights and interests over traditional lands or waters. This book argues that, if a carefully constructed claim is accepted by an Australian Court, Aboriginal customary law could potentially be recognised across a wide range of legal areas, including criminal law, family law, succession, environmental law, and criminal procedure. Importantly, this would also afford legal recognition to organic Indigenous governance structures. It also proposes a roadmap for establishing a hybrid equitable-constitutional fiduciary obligation that the Crown would owe Indigenous Australians. This could provide valuable protections to Indigenous rights and societies from impositions made by legislatures and executives purporting to exercise powers under the 
 Australian Constitution. Distinctive in its approach, this volume is among the first post-2020 works to explore a common law pathway for recognising and furthering the rights of Indigenous societies, governance systems, and legal frameworks, at a time when most scholarship has focused on express constitutional recognition or recognition via treaties and agreements (notably in Victoria).
 The book builds on the landmark High Court decision in 
 Love v Commonwealth 
 (2020), where the Court recognised that Aboriginal Australians, owing to their enduring connection to country, could not be considered ‘aliens’ under the 
 Constitution
 . While 
 Love 
 initially addressed alienage and constitutional protections, this work argues that its reasoning opens the door to broader common law recognition of Indigenous Australians’ rights, laws, and governance structures, beyond the scope of native title.
 Through careful legal analysis and a proposed claims framework, this book contributes to an emergent body of scholarship exploring the legal consequences of recognizing Aboriginal Australians’ enduring connection to country, offering a path toward meaningful expansion of Indigenous legal recognition in Australia, and bringing Australian law closer to the more progressive Indigenous rights doctrines of common law North America.

Law, Love and Australia’s Unfinished Retreat from Terra Nullius

Focusing on legal science and its application, this book comprehensively examines the knowledge system, methodology, and values of judgment formation from theoretical jurisprudence to practical application. Tracing the development of legal science, the book analyzes the core connotations of legal rationality, emphasizing the certainty, scientific nature, and ethical aspects of judgments. Through a profound analysis of legal rationality, evidentiary methods, and judicial procedures in the context of adjudication, the book demonstrates how to achieve "good law and good governance" in judicial practice, providing theoretical guidance and practical direction for legal professionals.
