Kirksey lives in Tennessee.  Sometimes he has odd visions.  Some of them are Orwellian.  He thinks a lot.  You may think he is crazy.

Judge Bill Swann

This timely and important book focuses on the controversial issue of SLAPP cases – Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation – which are designed to censor, intimidate and silence critics by burdening them with aggressive opposing lawyers, heavy legal costs and enquiry agents until they abandon the case.David Hooper, veteran media lawyer, explores how the power of money enabled the very wealthy to crush their critics and outlines the tactics they used.He examines how billionaire oligarchs, often ex-convicts and linked to organised crime, have tried to launder their reputation in this country by suing for libel, and how they have found lawyers only too happy to pocket their roubles.Hooper describes his experience with some of these oligarchs, including Boris Berezovsky when Hooper needed an armed bodyguard while collecting evidence in Moscow. It was a case where both plaintiffs were ultimately murdered, as was his client, the editor of Forbes Russia.The UK also has its home-grown Slappsters, of whom Nadhim Zahawi and Mohamed Amersi are the most recent examples. They also come from Greece, Sweden, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Malta and the United States. Hooper describes how those with something to hide tried, with varying degrees of success, to stop you knowing about it, and how their lawyers were willing to help them. The well-paid legal profession does not emerge with credit.

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2018 in the subject Economics - Case Scenarios, , language: English, abstract: Publicly Owned Enterprises (POEs) in Kosovo are present largely in the market, with a focus on sectors such as electricity, railways, telecommunications, waste management, etc. This presence is followed by the constant need for subsidies from the government and weak financial and commercial performance. POEs in Kosovo are faced with numerous challenges including weak governance and management. Agency Theory is used widely as a tool with which to explain governance and functioning of organisations and companies. In addition, Agency Theory is used to explore relations between stakeholders in politics and the economy. This study first elaborates upon the applicability of Principal–Agent Theory in POEs in Kosovo and then identifies the presence of principal–agent problems and identifies the nexus between such problems and poor performance of POEs. Identification of principal–agent problems may help to identify the reason for poor performance of POEs and the lack of transparency, accountability and supervision. POEs are subsidised by the state on an annual basis, which makes the identification of problems in having profitable POEs important for public interests, too. Such importance is due not only to the fact that POEs are financed by taxpayers but also to the fact that they are supposed to provide services in public interests by being self-sustainable and profitable for the government as a shareholder. The study aims to conclude that principal–agent problems such as capture, rent-seeking, moral hazard, information asymmetry and adverse selection are present in POEs in Kosovo, and that they have a negative impact on their performance. Such principal–agent problems and their negative performance may also be influenced by gaps in legislation and weak law enforcement.

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2023 in the subject Business economics - Trade and Distribution, , language: English, abstract: This doctoral dissertation deals with rules on digital trade in the light of WTO agreements.Digital trade has brought about profound changes in the international trade framework. Traditional trade, which primarily involved the exchange of physical goods, has now expanded to encompass a wide range of digitally delivered services, online transactions, and data flows. This transformation has been driven by advancements in technology and the increasing interconnectedness of the global economy. The digital economy encompasses various digital technologies and platforms and has become a significant driver of economic growth and innovation. It allows businesses to reach international markets more quickly and efficiently, transcending geographical barriers. The internet, mobile devices, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence have facilitated this digital transformation. These technologies enable seamless communication, data storage and processing, automation, and personalised services, revolutionising how businesses operate and engage in international trade.Digital trade has created new opportunities for businesses of all sizes. Small and medium-sized enterprises have benefited from the ability to access global markets through digital platforms and e-commerce. These platforms provide a means for Small and medium-sized enterprises to connect with potential customers worldwide, establish their presence, and market their products and services without needing a physical presence in foreign markets. This has lowered entry barriers and empowered Small and medium-sized enterprises to participate in global value chains, expanding their reach and contributing to economic growth. One of the notable developments in the digital trade era is the rise of platform-based businesses. These platforms, such as e-commerce marketplaces, ride-sharing services, and online payment systems, act as intermediaries connecting buyers and sellers across borders. They facilitate transactions, provide infrastructure and services, and enable businesses to expand their customer base globally. Platforms have become influential players in international trade, shaping market dynamics and redefining traditional trading system.

NomosLehrbuch

&lt;p&gt;Wie stehen Methodenlehre und juristische Argumentation zueinander? Was ist juristische Argumentation, was „bloße“ Rhetorik? Das Lehrbuch zur juristischen Argumentationstheorie stellt die Modelle juristischen Argumentierens vor und unterzieht sie einer (kritischen) Würdigung. Das betrifft etwa die Argumentationsanalyse seitens der „Strukturierenden Rechtslehre“ und das sogenannte „pragma-dialektische“ Modell der Argumentation. Explizit warnt der Band vor einem postmodernen Irrationalismus, der die Regelorientierung juristischen Argumentierens grundsätzlich in Zweifel zieht. Das Lehrbuch zeigt auf, wie die „Produktion“ von rechtlichen Entscheidungen und subgesetzlichen Regeln rational kontrollierbar und kritisierbar wird; es leistet damit einen Beitrag zu einer im besten Sinne kritischen Rechtswissenschaft.&lt;/p&gt;

NomosStudium

&lt;p&gt;Der sachgerechte Umgang mit Rechtsfragen, sei es im Studium oder in der Praxis, erfordert jenseits der notwendigen fachlichen Kompetenz soziale und kommunikative Fähigkeiten, die unter dem Begriff der Schlüsselqualifikation zusammengefasst werden. Das Buch macht es sich zur Aufgabe, die kommunikativen Schlüsselkompetenzen für juristische Arbeitsfelder erwerbbar zu vermitteln. Dabei wird auf den Unterschied zwischen der mündlichen und schriftlichen Sprachverwendung, auf die speziellen Anforderungen an mündliche Kommunikationssituationen sowie auf die Fähigkeit eingegangen, sich einerseits fachlich korrekt, andererseits adressatenbezogen und im Hinblick auf ein Wissensgefälle angemessen ausdrücken zu können. Zahlreiche Übungen im Buch helfen beim Kompetenzerwerb.&lt;/p&gt;

Akademische Arbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Jura - Zivilprozessrecht, Note: 5.0, University of Lagos (Law), Veranstaltung: Law, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: "Competence" and "compellability" are two distinct terminologies as far as the law of evidence is concerned in relation to witnesses. Distinguished Professor Osipitan SAN differentiated the two in the following words: “Competence deals with the status of a witness to testify in court proceedings while Compellability deals with the powers of the court to force/compel a competent witness to attend court proceedings purposely to testify or tender (a) document(s)”. It follows that for a person to be compellable to testify in court, he must first qualify as a competent witness.

Palgrave Hate Studies

&lt;p&gt;This book presents the first academic study offering a holistic assessment of violence against women (VAW) in Scotland, both online and offline. In particular, it focuses on VAW, hate crime, and online forms of violence against women (OVAW). It critically assesses the gaps in the hate crime protections in Scots Law, focusing specifically on the absence of legal protections for VAW, OVAW, hate crime, and gender-based violence, and it includes international comparisons throughout. Given the current upsurge in the abuse of&amp;nbsp;women,&amp;nbsp;this book offers a holistic assessment of the phenomenon of VAW and makes the case for pressing law reform in Scotland, specifically for legal protections against VAW and OVAW to be included within Scots Law. The book contains not only research findings but also makes practical recommendations for law and policy reform in the areas of hate crime, VAW and&amp;nbsp;OVAW.&amp;nbsp;As such, it contributes to Scotland’s progressive and leading approach to tackling violence against women and girls.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Societal Stress and Law&lt;/i&gt; draws attention to the social side effects of law by developing the sociological concept of society-level stress, a corollary of the concept of individual-level stress in the biological sciences.&amp;nbsp;To encourage interest in societal stress, the book looks at (1) instances of law adopted by American states that the U.S. Supreme Court held unconstitutional and (2) actions by American states with regard to a proposal to amend the federal Constitution.&amp;nbsp;The Court rulings and the proposed constitutional amendment were capable of producing societal stress because they were seen by a sizeable segment of the U.S. public as being incompatible with significant American traditions.&amp;nbsp;In original studies that apply logistic regression to state-level statistical data, the book identifies sociological variables that predict state differences in the adoption of this law and state differences in actions on the proposed constitutional amendment.&amp;nbsp;Because these variables represent societal agents that affected whether a state experienced social stress from the rulings and proposal, the book blends theory with empirical research and illustrates how each can support the other in law-focused scholarship.&lt;/p&gt;

Societal Stress and Law

Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Law - Civil Action / Lawsuit Law, grade: 5.0, University of Lagos (Law), course: Law, language: English, abstract: This paper sets out to analyze the application of good and bad character evidence to criminal proceedings within the corpus of the Evidence Act, 2011. The term "character" has been defined by several legal writers and Judges for the purpose of determining its scope in the light of the law of evidence. The general consensus from the several definitions is that “character” is the general reputation as opposed to his disposition. Under the Nigerian Evidence Act 2011, the same definition was given pursuant to section 77 which defines the expression “character” to mean reputation as distinguished from disposition. It goes on to state that except as mentioned in sections 78 to 82, evidence may be given only of the general reputation, and not of the particular acts by which reputation or disposition is shown.Unlike in civil proceedings, the Evidence Act creates a distinction between bad and good character for the purpose of determining the admissibility of character evidence in criminal proceedings.
