Bajon P: Informal Decision Making in the
European Community Under the Luxembourg

Informal Decision Making in the European Community Under the Luxembourg Compromise

The Law That Never Was

Learnings from Stability Theory of Complex Systems

The Resilience of Democracy

This book gives extraordinary new insights into the legal, political and industrial strife in the UK of the early 1970s, focusing on the National Industrial Relations Court and how its independence came to be injured at a time of national crisis. Constitutional and employment lawyers, and indeed anyone interested in the history of the times, will not want to be without this deeply researched yet entertaining work. When the Heath Government came to power in 1970, it set up the National Industrial Relations Court to referee highly contentious disputes between unions and employers. Regarded with hostility by the labour movement from the start, the Court and its President, Sir John Donaldson, faced mounting suspicion, and were regularly front-page news. When Donaldson jailed five dockers in 1972 - the Pentonville Five - for defying the Court's orders, strikes erupted and the docks closed. With the country's food supplies dwindling, a state of emergency loomed. How had it come to this? Could a way through be found? This is a revelatory account of the National Industrial Relations Court's defining crisis, set in the context of a wider, and frequently startling, exposition of how Donaldson went about his role as its President. Peter Oldham KC combines decades of experience as a barrister with archival research to shine a bright new light on how and why the Court found itself doing - in Donaldson's own words - 'rather peculiar things'.

'Rather Peculiar Things'

Law and Politics at the National Industrial Relations Court 1970-75

Studies in the History of Law and Justice

This book explores the comparability of conflict resolution mechanisms in East Asian and European traditional societies by focusing on Martin Dinges' concept of "Use of Justice," which is a working concept that focuses on the behavior of ordinary people in selecting and using various conflict resolution tools, not limited to courts. The study of early modern history in Europe has gained a new framework with this working concept, moving beyond the traditional framework of institutional history to focus on the actions of the parties to the conflict.The volume is divided into three parts. Parts I and II consist of individual studies based on archive researches. The authors, who are well versed in the various types of courts and regional records, use statistics and specific cases to show the actual images of the users of justice, their interaction with the authorities and the diverse ways in which justice was used by the people. Building on the empirical research of the first two parts, Part III develops various theoretical and methodological considerations of East-West comparability in analysing the research findings of Parts I and II. In this part (III) one can find reflections on whether or how comparability in "Use of Justice" research can be ensured, in which the inventor of the concept also participates.

A New Approach for an East-West Comparison

Use of Justice in Traditional Societies

How Reasoning Shapes Legal Reality

Law as Philosophy

Late medieval Bruges was a commercial hub that connected Hanseatic, English, Scottish, Portuguese, Spanish, Aragonese, and Italian traders. This book focuses on the conflict resolution of the aldermen and how merchants operated within this legal framework. The key question being whether Bruges was a city of justice. Although this was sometimes claimed by travellers, a lot of merchants confronted with the practicalities of conflict resolution in Bruges, disagreed. Fieremans analyses how customary law, institutional frameworks, and commerce intersected and were challenged by the aldermen's pursuit of justice. By clarifying the working of the aldermen, it advances our knowledge of the basic mechanisms of a late medieval law court and the evolution of the law courts of late medieval Flanders. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the book focuses on the interplay between commerce and justice, explores the diverse merchant communities, and considers the potential lessons it offers for understanding both historical and modern markets. It sheds light on the pragmatic legal culture of Bruges and the legal mechanisms that partially regulate commerce.

Foreign Merchants in a City of Justice

Law, Leverage, and Litigation in Late Medieval Bruges

Rechtsgeschichte ist nicht nur ein Orchideenfach für einige wenige Interessierte. Es ist nach wie vor eines der zentralen Grundlagenfächer im juristischen Studium, und dies nicht ohne Grund: Die Rechtsgeschichte gehört in den Kanon jener Fächer, die Selbstvergewisserung und Perspektiven einer Disziplin eröffnen. Zu verstehen, woher Rechtsinstitute kommen, welchen ursprünglichen Anwendungsbereich sie hatten und was die Gründe für ihre Entwicklung waren, hilft bei einer kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit aktuellen Rechtsfragen. Historische Informiertheit kann zu einem tieferen und damit besseren Rechtsverständnis beitragen. Diesem Ziel widmet sich das neue NomosLehrbuch zur Rechtsgeschichte. 
Erörtert wird im Schwerpunkt die deutsche Rechtsgeschichte seit der Vormoderne. Das Lehrbuch nimmt dabei Rechtsentwicklungen insgesamt in den Blick. Vermieden werden anachronistische Rückprojektionen der heutigen Disziplinen Privatrecht, Strafrecht und Öffentliches Recht. Statt Vorgeschichten zu erzählen und Kontinuitäten zu betonen, wird den Lesern ein Gefühl für die Besonderheiten der modernen Rechtsordnungen in Abgrenzung zu älteren Rechtsformen vermittelt. Insbesondere verbindet das Lehrbuch die Rechtsgeschichte mit der Sozial- und Kulturgeschichte und beschreibt Rechtsgeschichte damit in ihrem kulturellen Kontext. Das Lehrbuch vermittelt damit die Fähigkeit zu einer eigenständigen Reflexion über die bestehende Rechtsordnung, indem es unterschiedliche Lösungsansätze für Rechtsprobleme unter verschiedenen sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen aufzeigt.
Strukturprägend für das Lehrbuch sind Ereignisse, Institutionen und Thesen und weniger "große Männer" oder "große Werke". Sie werden eingebettet dargestellt in dem für eine Epoche als relevant erachteten thematischen Zusammenhang unter Verwendung möglichst neutraler Begriffe, um einen unvoreingenommenen Zugang zu ermöglichen, und um oft unreflektierte Assoziationen zu überlieferten historischen Deutungsmustern zu vermeiden.
Vertiefungsabschnitte am Ende zahlreicher Kapitel formulieren Forschungsfragen, die jeweils eine Vernetzung mit anderen Teilen des Werkes ermöglichen, sodass ein Verständnis für die größeren Zusammenhänge gefördert wird. Am Ende des Buches finden sich Wiederholungsfragen zur eigenständigen Repetition.

Seit der Vormoderne

Rechtsgeschichte

This book explores how trial lawyers, driven by self-interest, use argumentation to shape legal and ethical ideals in society through their manipulation of language, people, and objects. It argues that by employing various persuasive styles and deceptive strategies, lawyers influence juries and affect broader legal and communal values. These individual actions, while focused on client interests, collectively contribute to significant social changes in the practice and perception of law.

Etiology, Elements, and Effects

A Natural History of Legal Argument

In 1532, James V instituted the College of Justice, an incorporated group of expert lawyers and administrators who were to exercise supreme Scottish civil jurisdiction. Why did he decide to do that? This book argues that the scheme was informed by a powerful sense of the role that an incorporated body of expert lawyers might serve in articulating a just law for the realm. The new institution also more fully defined the relationship between the king and his supreme judges, reflecting contemporary European thought. Furthermore, the new College of Justice was meant to have a significant role in connection with the government of the Scottish Catholic Church on the eve of the Reformation. ​​​​​​​ This account of the institution of the College of Justice serves as a case study of the powerful role of lawyers in state formation during the Renaissance. It will also be of interest to those who wish to understand the origins of a court that remains part of the Scottish legal landscape to this day.

Drawing on the experience of recognised experts from across a range of different fields and jurisdictions, this landmark publication tackles default rules in private law in comparative perspective. Often underestimated, but highly influential, default rules are non-mandatory rules that kick in where nothing else has been agreed or provided. The contributions explore default rules from a variety of angles relevant to both scholarship and legal practice, including: · behavioural aspects and the role of platform terms in the digital age; · the remit and operation of defaults in different areas, ranging from contract and commercial law to succession, civil procedure and private international law; · a comparison between Common law and Civilian approaches as well as the EU level; · the perspectives of different 'players' engaged in the generation and application of default rules.

Default Rules in Private Law

This book offers the first detailed study of women's legal status in early modern Liège, an otherwise largely overlooked case in European legal history. It follows women across the course of their lives, from birth to widowhood, to show how their legal position and control over property shifted over time, depending on their social status and place within the family. Drawing on a substantial body of wills and marriage contracts from notarial practice, it moves beyond traditional sources to show how the law actually worked in everyday practice, and who took part in its creation. By bringing all these elements together, this book offers a nuanced picture of how law and gender interacted in early modern Europe.

Women and the Law in Early Modern Liège

Europeanization and Globalization

The regulation of sovereign debts raises many complex economic and legal questions. The primary objective of this volume is to focus on the possible legal solutions for the challenges facing the insolvent states. Finding a way out of the sovereign debt crisis requires not only economic considerations, but it implies also a better understanding of the rage of different social and ethical aspects associated with this problem.

Sovereign Insolvency

Modern Studies in European Law

This book tells a fascinating legal mobilisation story. Analysing EU environmental litigation over the last 30 years, it illustrates how the European environmental movement has patiently attempted and succeeded in expanding access to justice opportunities before the EU Courts. This is despite the longstanding reluctance of the EU Court of Justice to soften its standing requirements for private applicants bringing cases directly to Luxembourg. This research draws on both doctrinal analysis and qualitative methods of socio-legal inquiry. At its heart are interviews with key stakeholders: environmental lawyers, plaintiffs, and activists, which give an invaluable and innovative perspective on strategic litigation before the EU judiciary. With the growing emergency posed by the climate crisis and resultant increased litigation, this book makes a significant scholarly contribution to the study of environmental movements, to our conceptualisation of legal mobilisation, and to our understanding of the impact of litigation in European environmental law.
