Gray A: Good Faith and Relational
Contracts, Volume 2

Good Faith and Relational Contracts, Volume 2

Application to Specific Principles

This book explores the relationship between copyright law, online anonymity, and creative user-generated content (CUGC). Presenting original empirical findings, the book evaluates the co-existence of copyright law and normative systems regulating a CUGC landscape made up of artists, photographers, and writers, and makes novel recommendations for copyright reform. It takes a multi-jurisdictional approach across Anglo-American and EU legal systems, using the UK, USA, and Germany as representative jurisdictions for legal analysis. Qualitative findings are drawn from creators and communities on Reddit and 4chan. Copyright subsists in much CUGC, but pervasive anonymity makes it difficult for the law to regulate it effectively. Simultaneously, anonymity offers creative benefits in a way that highlights flaws in traditional justifications of copyright. Comparisons between community norms and copyright law identify practical differences but also fundamental compatibilities in terms of ownership expectations. However, the simultaneous existence of legal and normative enforcement mechanisms complicates matters for creators and potential users, with negative implications for creativity and copyright law. While existing reform efforts have made suggestions to create a UGC exception, these overlook and undermine the role of CUGC creators as copyright holders. This can be addressed through the consideration of a framework of supplementary CUGC guidelines when developing such reforms. This valuable resource for researchers and students provides a distinct perspective in framing CUGC creators as copyright holders, examining online anonymity as a pivotal factor influencing regulation.

This book offers the first ever in-depth analysis of the emerging constitutionalism in South Sudan and the challenges it faces. The book critically analyses the constitution-making processes that occurred in South Sudan between 2005 and 2011, finding, among other things, that there was a failure of constitutional discourse, particularly in relation to the 2011 drafting process of the Transitional Constitution. It goes on to analyse how the constitution is being implemented. It finds that, despite the clear division of powers and functions between the national government and the sub-national governments, what has emerged in South Sudan in the post-constitution-making period is a form of coercive centralism where the national government controls much of the political decision-making process. This has had serious implications for democracy, constitutionalism, and the rule of law. Finally, bearing in mind the failure in both how the transitional constitution was made and how it is being implemented, the book undertakes a critical analysis of the proposed process for drafting a new constitution for South Sudan. It identifies serious shortcomings and proposes how these could be addressed to enhance the process.

Cet ouvrage juridique fondamental de 1921 présente une traduction rigoureuse en langue française du Code Civil Néerlandais, enrichie par sa mise en concordance avec le Code Civil Belge, une démarche essentielle pour la pratique du droit comparé et l'exercice de la profession notariale et judiciaire à l'époque. Le texte a été actualisé pour refléter les lois les plus récentes des Pays-Bas concernant le droit de la famille et le droit social, incluant notamment les réformes sur la puissance paternelle, la tutelle, le contrat de travail et la recherche de paternité.Le Livre Premier, 'Des Personnes', établit les bases du statut juridique des individus, détaillant les formalités de l'état civil (naissance, mariage, décès) et les règles régissant les Néerlandais et les étrangers. Un accent particulier est mis sur le **Droit Matrimonial**, décrivant avec précision les conditions de validité du mariage, les empêchements, les oppositions, ainsi que les effets de la communauté légale de biens et des conventions prénuptiales. Les procédures de divorce et de dissolution du mariage après séparation de corps sont expliquées, notamment les conséquences sur les enfants mineurs et l'obligation de pensions alimentaires. La législation sur la puissance paternelle, la décharge et la déchéance, ainsi que la tutelle des mineurs et l'interdiction des majeurs pour cause de démence ou prodigalité, est intégralement retranscrite, offrant un aperçu exhaustif des lois de protection des incapables.Le Livre Deuxième, 'Des Biens', définit les distinctions juridiques des choses (meubles, immeubles) et expose les mécanismes d'acquisition de la propriété et de la possession. Il détaille les **droits réels** (usufruit, droit de superficie, emphytéose) et les règles complexes de voisinage. Les titres sur les successions ab intestat et testamentaires fixent les règles de la dévolution successorale, la portion légitime des héritiers réservataires (descendants, ascendants, enfants naturels reconnus) et les modalités de réduction des libéralités excessives. La traduction inclut les dispositions spécifiques aux enfants naturels et aux règles de partage.Le Livre Troisième est dédié au **Droit des Obligations et des Contrats**. Il couvre les fondements de l'obligation civile (donation, vente, échange, louage, prêt, rente viagère, cautionnement) et les causes d'extinction (paiement, novation, compensation, prescription). Une section substantielle est consacrée aux **Personnes Morales** et aux **Contrats d'Ouvrage**, notamment le contrat de travail (réglementation des salaires, amendes, résiliation) et le rôle des architectes et entrepreneurs. Enfin, les **privilèges, le gage et l'hypothèque** sont définis comme sûretés et causes légitimes de préférence des créanciers, avec un détail des règles d'inscription hypothécaire et de la responsabilité des conservateurs.

This book assesses whether EU consumer law effectively protects consumers in cloud computing contracts. From music subscriptions and streaming services to online gaming and social networks, cloud-based services are an integral part of our daily lives. Understanding the legal landscape of cloud computing is therefore crucial. The convenience of cloud computing raises significant legal questions about consumer rights. What if all emails are lost? Can someone unauthorised access online photos? Is it possible to cancel a video streaming subscription or transfer music elsewhere? The book scrutinises the adequacy of EU consumer contract law in addressing these issues, evaluating its coherence and effectiveness in safeguarding consumers' interests and fostering trust in cloud services. It looks at the entire lifecycle of a cloud computing contract, highlighting critical consumer problems, such as unclear information, service availability, data integrity, and unbalanced contract terms. Written for legal scholars, practitioners, policymakers and market participants, the book offers a comprehensive analysis of EU law provisions on cloud computing contracts. As cloud technology continues to evolve and integrate into mainstream IT solutions, ensuring a robust and consistent legal framework is paramount for consumer protection and the advancement of the EU digital market.

Fifty years after Alan Watson's Legal Transplants: An Approach to Comparative Law, the concept of legal transplants remains central to comparative legal scholarship. Over time, the literature has expanded to explore how laws are drafted, interpreted, and understood across jurisdictions-revealing legal transplants as a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. This book offers a nuanced and balanced analysis of the evolution of legal transplants, engaging with both foundational texts and recent developments. It goes beyond traditional legal discourse to incorporate insights from other disciplines, including policy studies, cultural transfer, entangled history, and the diffusion of ideas. By doing so, it broadens the scope of the debate and encourages a more interdisciplinary approach to understanding how legal norms travel and take root. Importantly, the book makes a strong case for the continued relevance and effectiveness of legal transplants in modern lawmaking. While acknowledging valid criticisms, it challenges the notion that such concerns should lead to legal isolationism. Instead, it argues that legal transplants are not only common but often successful-and should remain a key tool for lawmakers seeking to innovate and reform.

An Interdisciplinary Approach

The Essential Business Desk Reference

Contracts

This book brings together leading scholars from private law and employment law to reflect upon private law doctrines as they relate to the employment contract. Developing an interdisciplinary dialogue, these contributions explore the regulatory functions of private law doctrines at the cutting edge of modern employment law. Topics include the potential and limitations of private law damages; the role of injunctions and specific performance; the interactions between express and implied terms; vicarious liability; substantial performance and breach; and the common law right to work. The integration of scholarly perspectives from the realms of private law and employment law enriches and deepens our understanding of core private law doctrines. Historically, employment law was defined in terms of its autonomy from general private law. This achievement of autonomy was highly prized, and considered necessary to facilitate industrial freedoms for trade unions and the protection of employees from exploitation. But the contractual basis of employment means that any such autonomy has always been partial and unstable. Furthermore, as trade unions have declined and governments have deregulated statutory employment rights, private law has assumed growing practical importance in strategic appellate litigation. In many common law jurisdictions, private law doctrines have become the new battleground between employers, workers and trade unions. The essays in this book examine specific doctrinal issues against this dynamic backdrop of changing social, economic and constitutional conditions. While focused mainly on English law, the essays also consider examples from other jurisdictions including Australia and Scotland. As private law becomes the default regulation for most employment contracts in 21st-century labour markets across the world, this book is an essential resource for practitioners, judges, academics and students.

Private Law and the Employment Contract

The Rule of Law in Context

This book investigates core legal-political cultural myths of the Australian nation by canvassing, challenging and recasting some of the well-understood debates around, and invocations of, 'the rule of law' in Australia. It foregrounds one of the most enduring and prominent manifestations of these debates: claims to state sovereignty and rule of law in a system that has an incoherent legal foundation in its intentional ignorance of, and arbitrary violence perpetrated against, First Nations, their people, their sovereignty and their law. It examines the claims and celebrations of colonial rule of law achievements; constitutional rule of law protections; and the rule of law as tool to delineate and circumscribe the role of judges in the State. It presents a survey of the constitutional and legal principles and institutions and explores the socio-political aspects of rule of law in the country and how rule of law is experienced. With a focus on the legacy of the treatment of First Nations people, the book looks at how the Australia's rule of law institutions and machinery continue to exclude and fail vulnerable, marginalised and publicly reviled groups. Exploring these arguments through historical and contemporary case studies, including native title negotiations, anti-terrorism regimes, the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the push for constitutional enshrinement of a First Nations Voice, and the Royal Commission into the government's 'Robodebt' inquiry, this book shows the inescapable messiness of rule of law in Australia as a legal and political concept, instrumentalised and weaponised across its history.

The law codes in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region are a well-crafted blend of civil and Islamic law in which civil law principles do not violate Islamic provisions. Yet, common law principles derived either from English common law or Islamic customary usages remain unidentified and thus ignored. Here, this complex scenario is rectified through a comparative analysis of the primary data (e.g. cases, statutes and arbitral award decisions), adding common law and uncodified Islamic custom to MENA law codes. The purpose of this comparative analysis is to allow common legal principles found in civil, common and Islamic law to be distilled in order to create a new, harmonised international commercial arbitration law code (HICALC) or uniform Arab arbitration law (UAAL) for adoption in the MENA region, where these principles already greatly influence the legal systems and can be readily assimilated into a harmonised or uniform code. The work demonstrates that this new code would lead to improved arbitral award enforcement in the MENA.

This volume is the first in-depth collection to explore the impact of language on the field of comparative constitutional law. It addresses the epistemological and conceptual implications of English as the lingua franca. In this regard, it considers the global influence of Anglophone jurisdictions in orienting the discourse through the identification of concepts, designs and ideas that warrant engagement and exploration outside of those origin jurisdictions. In doing so, the book underscores that language is not a neutral device but can produce hegemonic pressures and expectations. It further makes the role of language in conducting comparative constitutional law explicit, so that its users can be more deliberate in their selection of foreign materials and are made conscious of the limitations of their findings due to language barriers. The book calls for a reckoning with the rich constitutional vocabulary that non-Anglophone jurisdictions have to offer to ensure a more holistic approach to the creation of knowledge. It also emphasises the need for the contextualised study of constitutional phenomena to appreciate how these are shaped by linguistic choices. In addition to raising awareness about language's significance as an epistemological, conceptual and methodological device, the volume also puts forward constructive tools and techniques to harness language's potential, making it an indispensable resource for scholars, students, lawmakers and judges.
