Shifts in Compensation Between Private and Public Systems
By: Boom, Willem H. Van (ed.); Faure, Michael (ed.)
Published by: Springer

Why have some legal systems abandoned tort law in some areas and replaced it with some form of no-fault compensation scheme or strict liability? What have been the effects? How should we evaluate these ???shifts???? Why have they not been adopted in other countries? These questions have been the focus of the "Shifts in Compensation" research project and this is the final volume in this series, addressing, on the one hand, the issues relating to ???shifts??? in compensation systems at a more general level, and on the other hand, addressing shifts in particular domains. The papers examining the shifts at a more general level provide a framework for the analysis of the various shifts and explain the shifts towards an increasing use of strict liability and no-fault regimes. To what extent shifts in compensation can be explained by insurance markets and their relative flexibility is also dealt with. In addition, shifts in the specific areas of medical mishaps and disasters are also examined. This book brings together lawyers and economists from various jurisdictions thus providing a multidisciplinary approach to tort law and alternative instruments. more...

Shifts in Compensation for Environmental Damage
By: Faure, Michael; Verheij, Albert
Published by: Springer-Verlag, Austria

This volume examines the shifts in the compensation of environmental damage between private and public systems. Recent developments at both the European and international level are presented with a particular focus on the shifts relating to the compensation of oil pollution, damage arising as a result of nuclear accidents and soil pollution in particular legal systems (Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and the U.S.A.). Attention is also paid to shifts between various levels of government as far as compensation for environmental damage is concerned. The authors discuss the nature of the particular shift and examine whether the shift is always from private law to public funding. The reasons for the introduction of the shifts and their effects are also examined as well as the consequences of the various shifts in the oil pollution regime from an economic perspective. Finally attention is also paid to various evolutions within private legal funding mechanisms to compensate for environmental damage. New developments, such as the shift towards voluntary compensation schemes and environmental damage insurance, are also presented and critically discussed. more...

The True Stella Awards
By: Cassingham, Randy
Published by: Plume

Gathered from the popular website www.StellaAwards.com, The True Stella Awards is an outrageous collection of America’s most frivolous lawsuits. Named for Stella Liebeck, the woman who won a multimillion-dollar lawsuit after spilling hot McDonald’s coffee on herself, humorist Randy Cassingham’s popular website chronicles the hard-to-believe and amusing claims brought before the U.S.courts. The most ridiculous of these lawsuits are given the “honorable” Stella Award. In The True Stella Awards , Cassingham documents the most outlandish of these real-life cases, including:. * The man who legally changed his name to Jack Ass, and then sued MTV because their TV show and movie Jackass infringed on his trademark and demeaned his “good name”. * The songwriter who left a minute’s silence on his record only to be sued by the estate of another songwriter who copyrighted his own “silent” song. * The man who sued an amusement park after being the victim of the ultimate “act of God”: He was hit by lightning while standing next to his own car in the parking lot. Stunning and hilarious, The True Stella Awards reveals the extremes people will go to in the pursuit of “justice.” more...

Vermögenstransfer und Haftung
By: Flume, Johannes W.
Published by: de Gruyter Rechtswissenschaften

The point of origin for this work is the question: to which extent the “universal succession by virtue of the transaction” can be made useful for the business transation. The organizational possibilities made possible by the German Reorganization of Companies Act 1994 - and on a legally comparative level, the Swiss Merger Act 2003 and the Austrian Companies Code 2007 - prompted this examination. more...

Wert und Preis im Zivilrecht
By: Winner, Martin
Published by: Springer

Die Arbeit beschAftigt sich mit Bewertungsfragen in ausgewAhlten zivilrechtlichen ZusammenhAngen. Das Erkenntnisziel ist rechtsdogmatisch: Welcher Wert einer Sache ist fA1/4r die rechtliche Beurteilung im jeweiligen Zusammenhang heranzuziehen? Drei inhaltliche Bereiche werden im Detail untersucht: 1. Privatautonom abgeschlossene VertrAge werden in verschiedenen ZusammenhAngen einer inhaltlichen Kontrolle unterzogen. Bei dieser kommt es hAufig auf das VerhAltnis der Werte von Leistung und Gegenleistung an. Wenn ein Wert den anderen deutlich A1/4bersteigt, kann der Vertrag fA1/4r den Benachteiligten unverbindlich sein. Um zu beantworten, welche Werte zu vergleichen sind, muss der Zweck der entsprechenden Bestimmungen untersucht werden. 2. VermAgensA1/4bertragungen erfolgen nicht nur aufgrund von VertrAgen. HAufig rAumt die Rechtsordnung einer Partei die MAglichkeit ein, eine solche Aoebertragung einseitig herbeizufA1/4hren. Paradigma ist die Enteignung, bei der die EigentumsA1/4bertragung durch behArdlichen Akt erfolgt. FA1/4r die Bemessung der EigentumsentschAdigung stellt sich die Frage nach dem Wert des Enteignungsobjekts, A1/4blicherweise einer Liegenschaft. GegenA1/4ber der Vertragskontrolle stehen unterschiedliche Aspekte im Vordergrund; ausschlaggebend sind effizienzorientierte Aoeberlegungen. 3. Diese Aoeberlegungen zur Enteignung dienen gleichzeitig als Aoeberleitung fA1/4r den nAchsten Teil, der ausgewAhlte gesellschaftsrechtliche Probleme der Wertfeststellung untersucht. Damit begibt sich die Arbeit in den Bereich der Unternehmensbewertung. Dabei werden zwei Problembereiche herausgegriffen. Einerseits geht es um den (derzeit aktuellen) Ausschluss vonMinderheitsgesellschaftern durch die Mehrheit der Anteilseigner. Welcher Wert der entzogenen Gesellschaftsanteile ist zu ersetzen? Andererseits geht es um die Verschmelzung, bei der den Gesellschaftern zwar keine Anteile entzogen werden, sich ihr Investment der Sache nach aber Andert. Aufgrund welcher Unternehme more...
