Spierin B: Succession Act 1965 and
Related Legislation: A Commentary

Succession Act 1965 and Related Legislation: A Commentary

Landmark Cases

Part of the iconic Landmark Cases series, this book brings the most significant cases in charity law together for the first time. More than four hundred years have passed since the Statute of Charitable Uses of 1601, whose Preamble set out a list of charitable purposes which has formed the basis of the modern legal definition of charity. This book explores the substantial body of judge-made rules and principles developed since then, highlighting a carefully curated selection of the landmark cases which have shaped charity law. Each chapter analyses one or more judicial decisions, setting them in their historical context, explaining their contemporary importance, and considering their future relevance. The selected cases cover a broad range of topics. Some go to the heart of what it means to be a charity, elucidating charity's legal definition and public benefit requirement. Others demonstrate how charity law has been shaped by its interaction with other bodies of law, including trust law, company law and equality law, and by emerging tensions between trustees' overriding duty to further the charity's purposes and broader moral obligations or ethical considerations. The book has a core focus on English precedents, but the cases are touchstones in many jurisdictions. Our contributors therefore include scholars, judges and practitioners from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Singapore, as well as from the UK. The result is a book that sheds new light on the application and development of charity law's defining rules and principles across the common law world.

Schriften zum Familien- und Erbrecht

Der Tod einer natürlichen Person markiert im Recht eine zeitliche Zäsur für die Einflussnahme auf den Rechtsverkehr. Zugleich eröffnen Instrumente wie die Testamentsvollstreckung sowie trans- und postmortale Vollmachten Möglichkeiten, eine begrenzte Fortwirkung des Willens über den Tod hinaus durch Dritte sicherzustellen. Das Werk untersucht systematisch das Verhältnis dieser Gestaltungsinstrumente zueinander, arbeitet ihre dogmatischen Grundlagen heraus und zeigt Überschneidungen, Abgrenzungen sowie praktische Konfliktlagen auf. Ziel ist eine präzisierte Einordnung ihrer jeweiligen Funktionen und Wirkungsgrenzen.

Das Verhältnis trans- und postmortaler Vollmachten zur Testamentsvollstreckung

This book provides a key point of reference on the translation of tax policy into legislation and other legal norms. There is a great deal of frustration about how this takes place at present. Thousands of hours are spent on fundamental reviews of tax law yet very little seems to change. There are points of systematic resistance to tax law reform. Tax legislation is prone to misjudgements and sometimes even mistakes. Systems of democratic and expert scrutiny leave much to be desired. There are also concerns about undue influence, and bad decisions can create path dependencies that are difficult to escape. These matters are explored in detail in this book by an inspiring cast of established and early-career researchers from various jurisdictions. The authors have entered into dialogues about what it means to translate tax policy into law, who is and who should be responsible, how things work in different legal systems, and whether existing approaches could be improved. The book is accessible to those new to taxation and legislative processes as well as to experts, and is recommended for lawyers and non-lawyers alike.

Translating Tax Policy into Law

Gambling Law in Ireland

Company law, as a specialised branch of business law, is uniquely shaped by contemporary challenges that often redefine traditional legal concepts. Historically, the study of company law has been approached through the lens of individual legal systems rather than a broader, comparative perspective. Addressing this gap, this advanced textbook offers a comprehensive comparative analysis of common law and civil law traditions.The book focuses on the interplay between the UK legal system and the European Union's legal framework through the analysis of some EU states' legal systems. It examines company law in common law jurisdictions, particularly England and Wales, alongside Scotland, while integrating the latest legislative developments within some states of the EU, for instance, Italy and Germany. Through this comparative lens, the textbook explores pressing contemporary issues, such as the pursuit of sustainability and the green agenda, and technological evolution, in particular, AI, analysing their impact on the foundational principles of company law.Marking the 20th anniversary of the passing of the Companies Act 2006, Comparative Company Law serves as a bridge between common law and civil law, combining tradition with innovation. It provides a nuanced exploration of how modern challenges, ranging from sustainability to human rights, reshape the structure of company law, making it an essential resource for advanced students and scholars.

Why a Will Is Not the Way to Avoid Probate, Protect Heirs, and Settle Estates

Living Trusts for Everyone (Third Edition)

The first book to investigate, analyze and theorize the creative processes of literary writers, Creativity and Contingency in Literary Writing uses author interviews, manuscript genetics and textual evidence to explore creativity from the authorial perspective. Studying an author's practice, literary form and contextual contingencies as elements that affect literary creativity, Karin Kukkoken develops theoretical models for examining the age-old problem of artistic creation and how it has been put to works by authors from the nineteenth century to the age of digital fiction, across a range of languages. With insights from the cognitive sciences, anthropology and philosophy of mind as well as literary studies, the book calls upon interviews with Siri Hustvedt, Marina Warner, Anne Weber, Camille Laurens, Gwenaëlle Aubry, Kate Pullinger, Gunnhild Øyehaug, Maria Stepanova and György Dragomán and studies the manuscripts of Charlotte Brontë, Cora Sandel, Elsa Morante and Italo Calvino. Overcoming the traditional distinction between creative agent, process and creative product, Creativity and Contingency in Literary Writing is as accessible and illuminating as it is important to understandings of human creativity.
