SpringerBriefs in Law

This book explains how the OECD’s Product Market Regulation (PMR) Indicators treat civil law notaries. It explains why applying a pro-competition metric designed for goods and private services to German notaries – who are independent holders of a public office and integral to the preventive administration of justice – produces distorted and policy‑misleading results. At its core, the book shows that civil law notaries are not market actors in the conventional sense. In Germany, notaries exercise state‑delegated functions, create enforceable public deeds, safeguard the reliability of land and commercial registers, combat money laundering, and guarantee universal, affordable access to legal certainty under a fixed, socially balanced fee schedule. The analysis reconstructs the PMR methodology and demonstrates its misfit for services whose quality is defined by independence, impartiality, and legal reliability – qualities that cannot be reduced to price/quantity proxies or ranked alongside architects, estate agents, or accountants. The book is intended for policymakers, regulators, competition economists, legal scholars, ministries of justice, bar and notarial bodies, and graduate students in law and public policy.

Ius Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice

The contemporary significance of the subject “Social Rights, Inequalities and Affirmative Action” is indisputable. In periods of social polarization, conflict and crisis, it is imperative that the obligation of our societies to protect and promote social rights is addressed and acknowledged. It is also necessary to recognize the way in which social rights are jeopardized by inequalities that impede the cultivation of robust social relationships and to document instances of the implementation of affirmative actions in this scenario. The aims of this work are as follows: firstly, to establish general topics (part I); secondly, to undertake more specific investigations within the primary topic (part II); and thirdly, to address the challenges posed by the technological transition currently taking place in society, which has significant consequences for social rights, (in)equality, and affirmative action (part III). The study is organized into three sections corresponding to these targets. For the purposes of this study, the analysis will commence, in the Part I of this book, at the genesis of the debates, as outlined in the chapter concerning the old and the new forms of racism. This contribution is followed by a chapter on the growing recognition of intersectional discrimination in European and global human rights frameworks and by another on structural discrimination and the function of the law against unjust enrichment. To further explore and expand upon the subjects addressed in the preceding chapters, the final chapter of Part I of this book delves into the topic of affirmative action in the United States. The second part of this work is dedicated primarily to specific forms of affirmative action, thereby deepening the discussion initiated in the first part of this book. The initial topic examines the way in which the pandemic has impacted specific social groups and led to the emergence of health disparities in the UK. The subsequent chapter is devoted to an examination of the alterations in the benefits of minimum income support in Brazil in recent years. The fourth chapter undertakes a detailed investigation of a specific affirmative action program for children and adolescents with the objective of reducing violence in urban areas. The final chapter conducts an analysis of ageing, public policies and inclusion in Brazil. The third and final section is dedicated to an examination of the challenges faced by our technological societies. The field of “Social Rights, Inequalities and Affirmative Action” is set to be impacted by the regulation of artificial intelligence, the increasing digitalization of activities, and the development of new tools designed to enhance the efficiency of the social state. The initial chapter of the concluding section deals with the regulation of artificial intelligence in Brazil and the impacts of neurotechnology. The second study examines conservative digitalization and structural inequalities in Latin American information societies, while the final study focuses on the emergence of the social digital state and the use of instruments that produce inequality and discrimination.

Social Rights, Inequalities and Affirmative Action

The Legal Roadmap and Regulatory Landscape

A Comparative Study on the Privacy Frameworks in Big Data Credit Reporting

This book offers a groundbreaking perspective on the use of documentary evidence in legal proceedings.
 
 In its first part, the book presents a critical overview of the current state of legal scholarship and jurisprudence concerning documentary evidence. It argues that, particularly in civil law jurisdictions, the law often rests on two flawed assumptions: that documents are sensory equivalents and that they are objective, with self-evident meaning that requires no interpretation or intersubjective validation. The result, in the author's view, is a legal culture that treats documentary evidence as a kind of objective "gold standard," obscuring the subjectivity and interpretive work that actually goes into creating and evaluating such evidence.
 
 The second part draws on general epistemology and semiotics to challenge these assumptions. It explores the role of context, the differences between human testimony and machine-generated evidence, and the need for comprehensive evidentiary sets. Through a semiotic lens, it examines various types of signs and the processes of representation and interpretation that underlie each type of documentary evidence.
 
 Building on these theoretical foundations, the third part proposes a new framework for understanding documentary evidence. It emphasizes the need for understanding the “physiological” functioning of each type of document and considers factors such as the nature of the sign, potential pathological or physiological alterations, and whether the source is human or mechanical.
 
 Finally, offers both theoretical insights and practical recommendations for all actors involved in the admission, production, and evaluation of documentary evidence—judges, lawyers, prosecutors, and others—providing tools for a more critical, contextual, and accurate approach to legal proof.

Together, these codes reflect California's evolving approach to labor protections and economic security over nearly a century of legislative development.

New Approaches to Business, Human Rights and the Environment

This book critically explores the intersection of corporate activities, regulatory frameworks, and environmental social governance (ESG) issues across key industries, primarily in the Global South.

With an emphasis on both environmental and social justice, the book examines how corporate actions impact local communities, ecosystems, and labor standards, and it assesses the effectiveness of ESG principles in mitigating these impacts. Through a series of in-depth case studies spanning Brazil, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Morocco, Mexico, Kenya, Thailand, and Latin America it seeks to contribute a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted challenges of implementing and enforcing ESG standards in contexts often marked by regulatory gaps, economic pressures, and socio-political complexities. Focusing on these countries is imperative because they represent diverse regulatory environments and high-impact industries where ESG issues are particularly urgent.

By linking legal analysis with socio-environmental case studies, the book bridges the gap between policy intentions and on-the-ground realities, offering actionable insights for policymakers, academics, and practitioners involved in ESG, environmental law, and sustainable development. In doing so, it contributes to a growing dialogue on equitable governance and sustainable corporate practices, aiming to inspire collaborative, cross-sectoral solutions that enhance justice and sustainability in the Global South.
