Book Description
La obra recoge diecisiete estudios relacionados con la Propuesta de Modernización del Derecho de obligaciones y contratos del Código civil español, que fue presentada por la Sección de Derecho civil de la Comisión General de Codificación (la redacción concluyó en noviembre de 2008 y fue publicada por el Ministerio de Justicia en el mes de enero de 2009). Los estudios se centran especialmente en el contrato y en el cumplimiento e incumplimiento de las obligaciones. El estudio del contrato comienza con las negociaciones, estudio realizado por A. Quesada Sánchez. Sobre la nueva versión del contrato reflexiona J.A. Doral García. Es objeto de atención la interpretación del contrato por parte de S. Sánchez Lorenzo. Una relectura del error en el consentimiento contractual hace Ma J. López Frías. El bloque dedicado a los contratos concluye con dos estudios sobre las condiciones generales de la contratación de K.J. Albiez Dohrmann y A. Blandino Garrido. El otro bloque, dedicado al cumplimiento e incumplimiento de las obligaciones, se centra, en primer lugar, en el cumplimiento al que se dedica C. Rodríguez Marín. A continuación viene el trabajo de R. García Pérez, que se refiere a la construcción jurídica del concepto de incumplimiento. Le siguen los trabajos de A. Vaquer Aloy sobre el principio de conformidad y de A. M. Morales Moreno sobre el sistema de remedios. Esta parte termina con un estudio efectuado sobre el remedio resolutorio por parte de Ma L. Palazón Garrido y otro sobre la indemnización de daños y perjuicios por incumplimiento contractual de I. Sánchez Ruiz de Valdivia. El tercer bloque tiene por objeto tres estudios relacionados con la incorporación del Derecho de consumo contractual en el Código civil. El primero contiene una reflexión general de M. Pasquau Liaño sobre el acierto de incorporar reglas de la contratación con consumidores en el Código civil. El segundo viene de la mano de A. Gálvez Criado que se ocupa de la figura del desistimiento. Este bloque se cierra con el trabajo de J. L. Monestier Morales en torno a algunas particularidades de la contratación a distancia y electrónica. Los tres bloques vienen precedidos de dos estudios genéricos. K.J. Albiez Dohrmann realiza algunas reflexiones en torno a la europeización de la Propuesta. Y J.A. Navarro Fernández hace una lectura crítica de algunas de las ideas que subyacen en la Propuesta, en particular del capitalismo global, tan presente en el texto de la Propuesta. Quien consulte la obra, debe saber que los diecisiete estudios tienen particularmente en cuenta las importantes huellas del Derecho contractual comunitario, europeo e internacional en la Propuesta de Modernización del Derecho de Obligaciones y Contratos del Código civil. Para facilitar la lectura de los estudios, se incluye el texto íntegro de la Propuesta.

Book Description
This collection discusses the concept of fraternity and examines the issue of its role in law. Since the end of World War II, fraternity has been cited in several national constitutional charters, in addition to the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. But is there space for fraternity in law? The contributions to this book form an ideal “bridge” between the past and present to trace the different pathways taken to address the meaning of fraternity, and to identify its possible legal relevance. The book lays out paths that have placed fraternity in varied and challenging legal contexts in an age of globalization and conflict, where the multiplicity of national and supranational sources of law seems to show its inadequacy to govern complexity, and coexistence between diversities that appear irreconcilable. The purpose is not to recover fraternity as a forgotten principle, but to reimagine it today to address the aim and force of law within a plurality of cultures. The analysis considers a possible universal dimension that models unity within diversity, and aspires to serve as a prologue to a transition from research to dialogue between different legal systems and traditions. The book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of Comparative Law, Legal History and Legal Philosophy.

Book Description
This Volume of the AIDA Europe Research Series on Insurance Law and Regulation focuses on transparency as the guiding principle of modern insurance law. It consists of chapters written by leaders in the respective field, who address transparency in a range of civil and common law jurisdictions, along with overview chapters. Each chapter reviews the transparency principles applicable in the jurisdiction discussed. Whether expressly or impliedly, all jurisdictions recognize a duty on the part of the insured to make a fair presentation of the risk when submitting a proposal for cover to the insurers, although there is little consensus on the scope of that duty. Disputed matters in this regard include: whether it is satisfied by honest answers to express questions, or whether there is a spontaneous duty of disclosure; whether facts relating to the insured’s character, as opposed to the nature of the risk itself, are to be presented to the insurers; the role of insurance intermediaries in the placement process; and the remedy for breach of duty. Transparency is, however, a much wider concept. Potential policyholders are in principle entitled to be made aware of the key terms of coverage and to be warned of hidden traps (such as conditions precedent, average clauses and excess provisions), but there are a range of different approaches. Some jurisdictions have adopted a “soft law” approach, using codes of practice for pre-contract disclosure, while other jurisdictions employ the rather nebulous duty of (utmost) good faith. Leaving aside placement, transparency is also demanded after the policy has been incepted. The insured is required to be transparent during the claims process. There is less consistency in national legislation regarding the implementation of transparency by insurers in the context of handling claims.

Book Description
This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

http://dx.doi.org/10.12946/gplh3 http://www.epubli.de/shop/buch/48746 "Spanish colonial law, derecho indiano, has since the early 20th century been a vigorous subdiscipline of legal history. One of great figures in the field, the Argentinian legal historian Víctor Tau Anzoátegui, published in 1997 his Nuevos horizontes en el estudio histórico del derecho indiano. The book, in which Tau addressed seminal methodological questions setting tone for the discipline’s future orientation, proved to be the starting point for an important renewal of the discipline. Tau drew on the writings of legal historians, such as Paolo Grossi, Antonio Manuel Hespanha, and Bartolomé Clavero. Tau emphasized the development of legal history in connection to what he called “the posture superseding rational and statutory state law.” The following features of normativity were now in need of increasing scholarly attention: the autonomy of different levels of social organization, the different modes of normative creativity, the many different notions of law and justice, the position of the jurist as an artifact of law, and the casuistic character of the legal decisions. Moreover, Tau highlighted certain areas of Spanish colonial law that he thought deserved more attention than they had hitherto received. One of these was the history of the learned jurist: the letrado was to be seen in his social, political, economic, and bureaucratic context. The Argentinian legal historian called for more scholarly works on book history, and he thought that provincial and local histories of Spanish colonial law had been studied too little. Within the field of historical science as a whole, these ideas may not have been revolutionary, but they contributed in an important way to bringing the study of Spanish colonial law up-to-date. It is beyond doubt that Tau’s programmatic visions have been largely fulfilled in the past two decades. Equally manifest is, however, that new challenges to legal history and Spanish colonial law have emerged. The challenges of globalization are felt both in the historical and legal sciences, and not the least in the field of legal history. They have also brought major topics (back) on to the scene, such as the importance of religious normativity within the normative setting of societies. These challenges have made scholars aware of the necessity to reconstruct the circulation of ideas, juridical practices, and researchers are becoming more attentive to the intense cultural translation involved in the movement of legal ideas and institutions from one context to another. Not least, the growing consciousness and strong claims to reconsider colonial history from the premises of postcolonial scholarship expose the discipline to an unseen necessity of reconsidering its very foundational concepts. What concept of law do we need for our historical studies when considering multi-normative settings? How do we define the spatial dimension of our work? How do we analyze the entanglements in legal history? Until recently, Spanish colonial law attracted little interest from non-Hispanic scholars, and its results were not seen within a larger global context. In this respect, Spanish colonial law was hardly different from research done on legal history of the European continent or common law. Spanish colonial law has, however, recently become a topic of interest beyond the Hispanic world. The field is now increasingly seen in the context of “global legal history,” while the old and the new research results are often put into a comparative context of both European law of the early Modern Period and other colonial legal orders. In this volume, scholars from different parts of the Western world approach Spanish colonial law from the new perspectives of contemporary legal historical research."

Book Description
This is the third edition of the widely acclaimed and successful casebook on contract in the Ius Commune series, developed to be used throughout Europe and beyond by anyone who teaches, learns or practises law with a comparative or European perspective. The book contains leading cases, legislation and other materials from English, French and German law as the main representatives of the legal traditions within Europe, as well as EU legislation and case law and extracts from the Principles of European Contract Law. Comparisons are also made to other international restatements such as the Vienna Sales Convention, the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts, the Draft Common Frame of Reference and so on. Materials are chosen and ordered so as to foster comparative study, complemented with annotations and comparative overviews prepared by a multinational team. The third edition includes many new developments at the EU level (including the ill-fated proposal for a Common European Sales Law and further developments linked to the digital single market) and in national laws, in particular the major reform of the French Code civil in 2016 and 2018, the UK's Consumer Rights Act 2015 and new cases. The principal subjects covered in this book include: An overview of EU legislation and of soft law principles, and their interrelation with national law The distinctions between contract and property, tort and restitution Formation and pre-contractual liability Validity, including duties of disclosure Interpretation and contents; performance and non-performance Remedies Supervening events Third parties.

Book Description
El más reciente ejemplo de normas de soft law, el llamado Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR) contempla la figura del contrato de servicios en el apartado C de su Libro IV titulado "Specific contracts and the rights and obligations arising from them". La regulación que propone el DCFR del contrato de servicios y, más en concreto, su configuración jurídica contenida en la parte general constituye, a juicio de la autora, una importante y decisiva fuente de inspiración para el legislador español. A todas luces el análisis del DCFR en materia de servicios deviene una tarea interesante para el jurista. El objetivo de la presente monografía es analizar todas y cada una de las disposiciones sobre el contrato de servicios contenidas en este proyecto académico, y hacerlo desde la perspectiva del derecho privado español, esto es, destacando su compatibilidad o no con las escasas normas de derecho privado vigentes en esta materia, y con las resoluciones de los tribunales españoles, todo ello con el objetivo de facilitar y fomentar la ya abordada tarea de la Comisión General de Codificación de reforma y modernización de nuestro derecho de contratos.
