Book Description
By means of the analysis of more than 20 national jurisdictions of different legal and geographical origin this book provides a general understanding of the developments that civil and commercial mediation is currently undertaking across the world. The book combines 25 national reports with a General Report analyzing the major trends in civil and commercial mediation worldwide. A number of the key variables that make mediation so effective are studied in depth in the book. The concept of mediation, that varies from country to country. Its legal framework and the branches of public and private law in which it is used. The legal condition of the mediation agreement and its relevant conditions of form and content, the responsibilities of the parties in the event that they violate this agreement and the effects of this agreement on potential recourse to the courts or to arbitration, as well as with regard to pending cases. As well as the role played by the mediator, his or her appointment or designation, legal and ethical responsibilities, and the role of institutions in mediation. As well as the mediation process, its applicable rules and principles and its costs are analyzed on comparative basis. The book also pays special attention to the outcome of mediation. The enforceability of the settlement reached both in domestic and cross-border mediations constitutes a basic element for the success of the institution and is thoroughly studied. This volume constitutes a unique instrument for those interested on mediation, either practitioners, judges or academics.

Book Description
Mediation provides an attractive alternative to resolving disputes through court proceedings. Mediation promises just results in the interest of all parties concerned, a reduction of the court caseload, and cost savings for the parties involved as well as for the treasury. The European Directive on Mediation has given mediation in Europe new momentum by establishing a common framework for cross-border mediation. Beyond Europe, many states have tried in recent years to answer the question whether, and if so, how mediation should be regulated at a national and international level. The aim of this book is to promote the understanding and discussion of regulatory issues by presenting comparative research on mediation. It describes and analyses the law and practice of mediation in twenty-two countries. Europe is represented by chapters on mediation in Austria, Bulgaria, England, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal and Spain. The world beyond Europe is analysed in chapters on mediation in Australia, Canada, China, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, Switzerland and the USA. Against this background, further chapters on fundamental issues identify possible regulatory models and discuss central principles of mediation law and practice. In particular, the work considers harmonisation and diversity in the law of mediation as well as the economic and constitutional problems associated with privatising civil justice. To the extent available, empirical research is used as a point of reference in the critical analysis.

Book Description
¿Tiene futuro en España la mediación mercantil? ¿En qué consiste? La mediación mercantil es el método de resolución de disputas con un futuro más brillante. Frente al viejo juicio –lento y costoso–, la mediación permite a las empresas encontrar una solución mejor a sus litigios, en menos tiempo y con bajos costes. El gradual avance de este mecanismo en nuestro país abre un nuevo horizonte que acabará revolucionando el modo en que tanto las empresas como los abogados gestionan la resolución de las controversias comerciales.Este libro explica, de manera sistemática, exhaustiva y clara todos los aspectos que conciernen al ejercicio de la mediación mercantil, tal como se hallan en la actualidad. Si bien la obra se centra en el Derecho español, a lo largo de ella se citan reglamentos de las instituciones de mediación más relevantes de Europa, América y Asia, así como la jurisprudencia más relevante y la literatura más moderna sobre la materia.

Book Description
Las crisis que conducen a los deudores a una situación de insolvencia pueden ser crisis financieras, que se fundan en la escasez de recursos financieros en el corto y mediplazo, o crisis económicas, que se originan en la propia naturaleza de la actividad empresarial y en la forma de ejercerla; o bien puede que en la génesis de la insolvencia del deudor coexistan tanto factores económicos como financieros En atención a la variedad de manifestaciones de la crisis, el ordenamiento jurídico regula diferentes mecanismos de actuación dirigidos a evitar y prevenir las insolvencias empresariales en la legislación societaria, así como determinados institutos encaminados a gestionar la insolvencia con el objeto de conjurar la necesidad de un procedimiento de concurso de acreedores. Esta obra, dirigida a los profesionales que actúan en el ámbito del derecho de la insolvencia, analiza y expone de forma sistemática los medios legales para una correcta identificación y una adecuada gestión de las crisis empresariales,desde la perspectiva del derecho de sociedades y de las soluciones preconcursales a la insolvencia.

Book Description
After many years of negotiations among Member States, a uniform set of private international law rules has been established to determine the conduct of cross-border insolvency proceedings within the European Community. This is the European Insolvency Regulation of May 2000. Although each state still retains its own insolvency law, the regulation greatly reduces the risk of opportunistic behaviour by providing certainty as to which European courts have jurisdiction to open insolvency proceedings and which state?s laws apply, in addition to ensuring the cross-border effectiveness within the EU of the decisions handed down by those courts. This in-depth commentary offers practitioners in international business transactions and litigation a definitive guide to the workings of the Insolvency Regulation. The authors?one of whom co-wrote the official explanatory report on the 1995 Convention on Insolvency Proceedings, a report that still plays a fundamental hermeneutic role?leave no stone unturned in their probing analysis, which explains in detail such elements as the following: relationship with other community legal instruments and international conventions; territorial scope; substantive scope; third-party rights in rem and reservation of title; set-off; contracts relating to immovable property; employment contracts and relationships; payment systems and financial markets; community patents and trademarks; publication and registration; lodgement of claims; and special considerations affecting credit institutions and insurance undertakings. Company lawyers handling insolvency cases and issues will find nothing comparable to this expert work. Its direct practical usefulness is immediately apparent. In addition, however, it stands out as a preeminent work on a critical and hard-won legal instrument (and by extension on the entire field of European insolvency law) and as such is an essential resource for jurists and legal academics.

Book Description
The promotion of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms is strongly linked to the idea of justice in the 21st century. National and international legislators increasingly offer new responses in this area, with the aim of providing citizens with the opportunity to resolve their disputes outside State courts. Indeed, the global notion of ADR includes a multiplicity of institutions which have in common the purpose of facilitating the settlement of disputes outside courts. However, such generic references to ADR mechanisms, as well as the perceived centrality of the European approach, obscure important differences in the use, regulation, and underlying philosophy of ADR in many countries of the world. This book focuses on a set of countries which accounts for more than half of international world trade. It examines the various ADR devices present in relevant countries, including the US, Australia, China, England, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, and Thailand. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the regulation of ADR in all these countries. Every chapter on national law analyzes subjects covered by ADR devices, the existing legal regime, and its solutions and problems. Written by leading practitioners and scholars, the book provides a clear image of the existing framework from a legal, theoretical, and practical standpoint. It will be essential for all those wanting to understand the reality of ADR in some of the most economically important countries of the world.

Book Description
Este trabajo profundiza en la incidencia de la Banca Extranjera en España en el periodo estudiado, es decir, 1898-1921. Pero a partir de este conocimiento, se descubren los fundamentos que permitieron el nacimiento de una poderosa y solvente banca española. Además, se analizan los pro y los contra de su presencia en España y, por supuesto, las principales elementos que resultaron asimilables por la incipiente banca española.
