Bird J: An Assistant To The Practice Of
Conveyancing

An Assistant To The Practice Of Conveyancing

Containing Indexes Or References To The Several Deeds, Agreements, And Other Assurances (1796)

The essential handbook for anyone who makes, signs, or enforces agreements-no law degree required.

From business deals and employment offers to online checkboxes and everyday promises, contracts shape modern life. Yet most people-even professionals-find contract law confusing, intimidating, or wrapped in legal jargon.

In this clear, accessible, and practical guide, Professor Seth C. Oranburg demystifies the rules that govern agreements and makes the law work for you. Drawing on years of teaching, scholarship, and real-world practice, Oranburg walks readers through the core concepts: how contracts are formed, when they're enforceable, what happens when deals break down, and how the law balances fairness with predictability.

You'll learn:

- How courts decide whether a contract exists

- What makes a promise legally binding

- How to avoid common pitfalls in negotiation and drafting

- When a contract can be rescinded or renegotiated

- What remedies are available when things go wrong

Whether you're an entrepreneur, freelancer, student, or simply someone who wants to protect their interests, this book delivers the knowledge, tools, and confidence to navigate the world of contracts with clarity and success.

A Practical Guide for Everyone Who Makes Agreements

Contract Law

Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Law - Civil / Private, Trade, Anti Trust Law, Business Law, , language: English, abstract: This research paper analyses the existing laws and regulatory frameworks in the oil and gas sector with a particular focus on Uganda’s oil and gas industry. This research analyses the background of the country’s oil and gas industry with specific reference to the adaptation of the Production sharing agreement (PSA) model in as far as oil and gas contracts are concerned. The research commences by undertaking an in depth analysis of the basic laws, regulatory, policy and institutional frameworks concerning the management and administration of the oil and gas sector. The research then focuses on the legal framework on the PSA model pertaining to the ownership of the resources, the issuing of licenses and concessions, in as well as efforts undertaken to safeguard the effects of signing PSAs on aspects of environmental protection. This research is also designed to critically analyse the weaknesses and strengths of the current legal regime as well as identifying the gaps in laws relating to the applicability of PSAs and measures being taken to tackle such gaps in the regulatory framework of the country and exploring the ways in which aspects of transparency and effective management of the oil and gas industry are concerned. The research paper also discusses if other factors such as the different stakeholders like media houses, civil societies, Non-governmental organisations and International Oil and gas companies have a had a role to play in influencing the PSA model as the most appropriate choice of the Ugandan oil and gas contracts.  Conclusively the research puts forward recommendations regarding how the gaps in the legal framework on the PSA model should integrate or regulate the identifiable influences of other stakeholders in Uganda’s oil and gas industry.

Diploma Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Law - Miscellaneous, grade: 1.7, Humboldt-University of Berlin (International Dispute Resolution Master of Laws (LL.M.) Programme), course: International Investment Arbitration, language: English, abstract: The piercing the corporate veil in ISDS plays a twofold role. From the investors’ perspective, it is instrumental if a tribunal can ignore the difference between the legal personality of the company in which they invested in and the shares that they hold.  Per contra, States also invoke this doctrine by trying to convince a tribunal to look at the true personalities involved and not to allow an investor to hide behind the veil of the different legal personalities. To address these competing interests, the author of this Master Thesis in Chapter II intends to analyse the characteristic pattern and standing of shareholders in bringing indirect claims aimed to persuade the tribunal to ignore the difference between the legal personality of a company and its shareholders and to look at the true interests at stake instead. In Chapter III, the applicability of the piercing the corporate veil doctrine will be approached from the States’ perspective and when they invoke the denial of benefits clauses. On the basis of the foregoing, this Master Thesis purports to address the intersection between the jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal in ISDS and the concepts of investor and investment underlying the application of the piercing the corporate veil doctrine. By doing so, the author of this Master Thesis explores the provisions of IIAs commented on by authoritative treatises, contemporary views embodied in articles, and jurisprudence of international investment treaty tribunals. In order to arrive at its findings and conclusions, this Master Thesis utilizes the method of description, method of conceptual analysis, comparative method, and method of evaluation.

Piercing the Corporate Veil Doctrine in International Investment Agreements

Whether you have a great day, an okay day, or a bad day, it all depends on how you start the day. We found through our years of research at leading universities and our work all over the world with real teams and organizations, families, and communities that the initial conditions you start with determine the experience that you have and the outcomes you achieve. How you see the world, how you engage it, and the agreements that you have about it. That's it.

The agreements you have in any given situation, whether with your family at breakfast, your friends for a coffee and trivia night, or in a meeting at work, all start with an underlying way of looking at the world. A set of assumptions about how the world works. These are your initial conditions, in that situation. These initial conditions determine the unspoken agreements that will guide your interactions. This will determine the experience you have and the outcomes you achieve. It all starts with the initial conditions. Conditions you can choose. This book guides you through those choices.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensführung, Management, Organisation, Note: 1,8, Universität Paderborn, Veranstaltung: Projektfinanzierung, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der Fokus dieser Seminararbeit liegt in der kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit den Risiken und dem Risikomanagement einer Projektfinanzierung von EE-Anlagen im Rahmen von langfristigen Stromlieferverträgen mit Großunternehmen, den sog. Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPA). Das Ziel dieser Ausarbeitung ist es herauszufinden, ob die neuen Risiken, bedingt durch den Auslauf des EEG-Förderanspruchs, den Wachstum der EE-Branche eindämmen. Im Rahmen dieser Seminararbeit soll beantwortet werden, welche neuen Risiken entstehen, wenn der Stromabnehmer nicht der Staat Deutschland, sondern ein Großunternehmen ist. Hinzukommend werden Lösungsansätze im Rahmen des Risikomanagements herausgearbeitet und analysiert.

It addresses the ongoing debate about the need for reform within the UN Charter and the challenges associated with multilateral norm development.

The paper's central question revolves around the effectiveness of international law in the context of the 2030 Agenda. It seeks to analyze the achievements and existing complications in global norm development, emphasizing the comparison between the UN Charter's preamble and the 2030 Agenda to highlight the transformations undergone by international law.

Divided into sections, the text first discusses the evolution of international law and its implications for the 2030 Agenda, followed by an overview of the 2030 Agenda and its norm development. It then delves into the effectiveness of norm development within this agenda, examining successes and failures. Additionally, it touches upon the issue of compliance with non-binding laws and offers insights into potential future developments.

The conclusion summarizes the findings presented throughout the paper and revisits the initial research question regarding the effectiveness of international law within the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Studien zum Arbeitsrecht

Ein Unternehmen sieht sich oft hilflos, wenn ein wertvoller Mitarbeiter, in dessen Fortbildung viel investiert wurde, zur Konkurrenz wechselt. Die Rückforderung der Fortbildungskosten vom Mitarbeiter selbst scheitert in der Praxis oftmals an der strengen AGB-Kontrolle entsprechender Vereinbarungen. Einen interessanten Perspektivwechsel bietet der Profisport: Hier erstattet der neue Verein diese Kosten durch eine Ablöse bzw. Ausbildungsentschädigung. Diese Arbeit untersucht die Möglichkeit einer Übertragung dieses Konzepts auf den breiteren Arbeitsmarkt und beleuchtet praktische Hürden und rechtliche Grenzen.

The Cultural Histories Series

How should we talk about "the law" in a period so remote from our own and covering such a huge span of time and space? From the Code of Hammurabi (ca. 1750 BCE) to Justinian's Corpus Iuris Civilis (529-534 CE), A Cultural History of Law in Antiquity draws upon legal texts and non-textual forms (such as vase-painting, sculpture, and architecture) to uncover the diverse and rich legal traditions of societies ranging from the Ancient Near Eastern cities of Assyria and Babylon in Mesopotamia to the Ancient Israelites, and from Ancient Greece to Rome of the Archaic and Classical Periods.

With a wealth of textual and visual sources, A Cultural History of Law in Antiquity presents essays that examine key cultural case studies of the period on the themes of justice, constitution, codes, agreements, arguments, property and possession, wrongs, and the legal profession.

A Cultural History of Law in Antiquity

The period since the First World War has been a century distinguished by the loss of any unitary foundation for truth, ethics, and the legitimate authority of law. With the emergence of radical pluralism, law has become the site of extraordinary creativity and, on occasion, a source of rights for those historically excluded from its protection. A Cultural History of Law in the Modern Age tells stories of human struggles in the face of state authority - including Aboriginal land claims, popular resistance to corporate power, and the inter-generational ramifications of genocidal state violence. The essays address how, and with what effects, different expressive modes (ceremonial dance, live street theater, the acoustics of radio, the affective range of film, to name a few) help to construct, memorialize, and disseminate political and legal meaning.

Drawing upon a wealth of visual, textual and sound sources, A Cultural History of Law in the Modern Age presents essays that examine key cultural case studies of the period on the themes of justice, constitution, codes, agreements, arguments, property and possession, wrongs, and the legal profession.

A Cultural History of Law in the Modern Age

Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Law - Miscellaneous, Uganda Christian University (School of Research and Post Graduate Studies), course: LLM, language: English, abstract: This Research will focus on the efficacy of the dispute resolution mechanisms including legal and non-legal nature in Uganda's Model PSA. The researcher evaluated, resolved and examined the ADRs and legal forms by using primary, and secondary sources to do qualitative and quantitative analysis. This study also described the rules, procedures and limitations of dispute resolution mechanisms in the MPSA. This research will recommend that the scope of disputes to be resolved through arbitration under Uganda's Model PSA's should be widened, further that arbitration should be taught to all lawyers as continued legal education process and it will also recommend that institutions like CADER AND ICAMEK be strengthened and our Arbitration and Conciliation Act of 2000 and its rules be revised to meet international standards so as to be relevant in the oil and gas industry and to make it effective in resolving oil and gas disputes. 

Dispute Resolutions are key to the development of not only a sector like oil and gas but has a direct correlation with the development of an economy. 

Key among the dispute resolution mechanism is Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), also described as the non-legal nature of dispute resolution. ADR has become the norm in resolving conflicts between IOC's and States in dealing with oil and gas disputes. This is so because it provides a quick and confidential mechanism of resolution of disputes and it can be done in a place or seat agreed by the parties. As a result, it is one of the key considerations in attracting investments unlike the traditional litigation system whose appellate processes are long and in most cases beleaguered with accusations of corruption especially in developing Countries. 

Uganda like many other jurisdictions has a robust legal framework aimed at enhancing alternative dispute resolutions and it's a party to many conventions for example, the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (the New York Convention), ICSID and the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration and its home based legislations which are key to facilitating alternative dispute resolution. Provisions for Alternative Dispute Resolution are included in the PSAs Models of Uganda as a way of encouraging dispute resolutions in Uganda's oil and gas sector.

The Efficacy of Dispute Resolution Provisions in Uganda's Production Sharing Agreements and Developing Uganda's Upstream Oil and Gas Sector

In 500, the legal order in Europe was structured around ancient customs, social practices and feudal values. By 1500, the effects of demographic change, new methods of farming and economic expansion had transformed the social and political landscape and had wrought radical change upon legal practices and systems throughout Western Europe. A Cultural History of Law in the Middle Ages explores this change and the rich and varied encounters between Christianity and Roman legal thought which shaped the period. Evolving from a combination of religious norms, local customs, secular legislations, and Roman jurisprudence, medieval law came to define an order that promoted new forms of individual and social representation, fostered the political renewal that heralded the transition from feudalism to the Early Modern state and contributed to the diffusion of a common legal language.

Drawing upon a wealth of textual and visual sources, A Cultural History of Law in the Middle Ages presents essays that examine key cultural case studies of the period on the themes of justice, constitution, codes, agreements, arguments, property and possession, wrongs, and the legal profession.
