Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Climate change litigation is emerging as a global response to the unfolding climate crisis. As global warming increases and the catastrophic consequences of climate change become apparent, individuals and civil society as a whole are increasingly looking to the judiciary to uphold public and private entities' obligations to fight global warming and step-up actions to protect present and future generations. Climate change litigation is particularly pertinent in Europe. Since the landmark decision in Urgenda v. The Kingdom of The Netherlands in 2015, climate cases have been filed across European jurisdictions and reaching European regional courts, such as the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights. Consequently, climate change litigation is also emerging as a consolidated body of knowledge and practices, with the common objective of enhancing climate change mitigation and adaptation action. It is a multi-faceted phenomenon, engaging with a wide array of substantive and procedural legal challenges and issues. Legal architectures and strategies for climate cases include, among others, environmental law, tort law, constitutional law, consumer law, administrative law and human rights law.Against such a backdrop, Climate Change Litigation in Europe provides, for the first time, a comprehensive account of the most relevant developments around climate change litigation, with a specific focus on Europe. To this end, the book aims to address the phenomenon of climate change litigation from a threefold perspective. First, it unpacks the supranational dimension of climate change litigation within Europe, with a particular focus on European regional courts. Second, it provides a comparative analysis of climate change litigation from different European jurisdictions, in order to understand points of convergence and departures among the different approaches to the common problem of tackling global warming. Finally, it analyses relevant substantive and procedural issues underpinning both existing and future climate change litigation, ranging from human rights to state and corporate responsibilities, international trade and investment and procedural rights.The book comprises contributions from highly experienced law practitioners and academics, as well as emerging and established experts in the field of climate law and environmental law. It contributes meaningfully to the burgeoning body of literature on climate change litigation by providing a fully-fledged picture of this global phenomenon within Europe.About the Editors Ivano Alogna is the Research Leader in Environmental and Climate Change Law at the British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL) and leads BIICL's programme in this field.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The 'Brussels II' Regulations have a long history and provide the EU's rules on jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement of matrimonial matters, matters of parental responsibility, and international child abduction. In 2016, the EU Commission published its Proposal for recasting what was then Council Regulation No 2201/2003 ('Brussels II-bis'). There followed lengthy negotiations that resulted in the recast Council Regulation No 2019/1111 ('Brussels II-ter'), which came into force in August 2022. Brussels II-ter has made substantial changes. Brussels II-ter is the key EU instrument for dealing with cross-border issues involving recognition of divorce, custody and access disputes over children, international abduction and the placement of children from one Member State to another. This book provides an in-depth discussion of this complex Regulation. Written by three renowned experts, this comprehensive analysis benefits from the collective scope of their experience and knowledge, not only of their respective jurisdictions (Italy, Sweden and the UK) but also more generally of international family law and private international law. Brussels II-ter: Cross-border Marriage Dissolution, Parental Responsibility Disputes and Child Abduction in the EU provides not only a clear exposition of the Regulation's provisions, but also a critical evaluation of them. Rather than an Article-by-Article analysis, the book instead comprises separate chapters on discrete parts covered by the Regulation--namely, on the history and scope of Brussels II-ter; common rules on court proceedings; jurisdiction in matrimonial matters; parental responsibility; coordination of proceedings; international child abduction; the hearing of the child; recognition, enforcement, authentic instruments and agreements; and cooperation in matters of parental responsibility. An exposition of the relationship between the EU and the UK following Brexit concludes this volume, which discusses, among other issues, the often problematic inter-relationship between Brussels II-ter and the 1996 Hague Child Protection Convention. The book provides indispensable reading for those who will have to apply the Regulation, such as judges and practitioners, and students who want a clear history, scope and analysis of the Regulation and its impact on the field of cross-border family law. About the Authors Nigel Lowe KC (Hon), LLB, LLD, Barrister, is an Emeritus Professor of Law at Cardiff University, UK. He is a well-known expert in international family law, particularly cross-border disputes concerning children, on which he has written extensively.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The principles of independence and impartiality are fundamental to the proper administration of justice. This book examines how these principles are implemented in a variety of settings: in national courts of selected jurisdictions, international courts and international arbitration.The book collates special reports which address the topical issues currently under debate, such as the need to preserve the adjudicator's independence from the other powers of the state, and the need to preserve the legitimacy of arbitration in investor-state disputes. Rapporteurs also examine topics such as the standard required for independence and impartiality, the selection criteria and the selection method, the authority in charge of making the selection (a party appointment or an appointing authority), the mechanisms to counter-balance the influence that may be exercised by the appointing authority, the adjudicator's duty of disclosure, the adjudicator's immunity, the adjudicator's rights and duty after the term of service, codes of conduct, and the consequences of a breach of the different duties. The general report provides a comparative analysis of the mechanisms implemented in the various systems, and highlights their similarities and differences. The analysis refutes some of the assumptions commonly made in the ongoing debate on the reform of the mechanism for individual-state dispute resolution, especially for investment arbitration. In particular, the comparative analysis of the mechanisms used within international courts does not confirm the assumption that a permanent court would resolve issues of legitimacy that are currently discussed in connection with investment arbitration (such as conflict of interests, double-hatting and issue conflict).

She publishes and lectures in Norway and internationally within the fields of contract law, private international law and arbitration.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. How should we shape AI-driven automation so that it serves individual and collective flourishing? Recent advances in AI, particularly generative AI, have rekindled fears of a workless future at a moment when work remains central to individuals and societies alike. AI and the Future of Work situates the prospect of AI-driven automation within a longer history of technological transformation, asking whether it should be feared or welcomed and, accordingly, how law and policy ought to respond. This book rejects the predictive, utilitarian, and work-centred paradigms that dominate the 'future of work' debate as ill-equipped to address what is fundamentally at stake. In their place, the book brings Aristotle's ethics and politics into dialogue with modern legal and political theory - namely virtue jurisprudence and the capability approach - to build a normative paradigm centred on human flourishing (eudaimonia). This paradigm is applied to evaluate the desirability of AI-driven automation, culminating in an empowering vision for the future of work alongside actionable recommendations for researchers, law- and policy-makers, technologists, educators, and citizens. A must-read for anyone interested in the ethical, legal, and political dimensions of AI-driven automation or the value of work and leisure more broadly. This item is printed on demand.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This book starts from the context of the extremely difficult access to international protection in the EU, accentuated by increased migration controls and by the externalization of European migration policies. Against this background, this book has carried out to analyze whether EU Member States hold any obligation, under international and European human rights law, to protect third country nationals applying for humanitarian visas with a view to lodging an international protection claim upon arrival in the EU. Through an effective interpretation of States' obligation of non-refoulement, Eugenie Delval demonstrates that EU Member States may be required to issue humanitarian visas when there is no other alternative that would effectively protect the applicants against the impermissible exposure to foreseeable risks of harm. Eugenie Delval holds a master's degree in public and international law from the Universite Libre de Bruxelles, and an LL.M. from the University of Chicago Law School. Eugenie was awarded the Ganshof van der Meersch Prize, as well as a scholarship from the Belgian American Educational Foundation to pursue her LL.M. Eugenie completed her PhD in law at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles, with the support of the Belgian Fund for Scientific research (F.R.S-FNRS) - this book is her doctoral dissertation. Eugenie Delval is currently working as a legal officer at the European Commission. This item is printed on demand.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Data have become a crucial element of today's economies and societies, which has in turn sparked a vivid debate on how data shall be regulated as resources out of both efficiency and fairness concerns. The European Union embarked on the ambitious project to create a 'European single market for data', thus turning data into tradable commodities through various initiatives including legislative ones. Data are an uneasy legal object and their role as resources cannot be easily untied from their other dimensions. In particular, data protection law (with the flagship GDPR) addresses the harms that data processing by others can cause to individuals identifiable through data and, ultimately, to democratic societies. A crucial question is thus whether EU data legislations geared toward the establishment of data markets can be squared with personal data protection. Based on her doctoral research, Charlotte Ducuing addresses this question with a novel and original approach based on commodification studies. A must-read to understand data legislation, its commodification dynamics and their impact on data protection law and to take a fresh perspective on the GDPR. Charlotte Ducuing is a post-doctoral researcher at the Centre for IT and IP Law of KU Leuven. She holds a Master's degree in law (University of Lille) and in political sciences (Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Lille) and a LLM Intellectual Property and ICT law (KU Leuven). Besides having experience as an in-house lawyer in the Belgian railways and as a teaching assistant at the ULB, she has conducted research on various aspects of the datafication of society. Her doctoral research project (2020-2024) sougth to evaluate the legal soundness of the compatibility model of EU data legislation between data markets and data protection, based on commodification studies. Charlotte engages with infrastructure studies, the regulation of public utilities, commodification studies, regulatory studies and legal theory. More in general, she is interested in how the law addresses complex socio-technological artefacts. This item is printed on demand.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Private businesses may play a significant role in consolidating illegal occupations by operating in illegally occupied territories. However, as it stands today, international law offers few options for holding private corporate actors legally accountable for their harmful activities in illegally occupied territories. This creates a legal vacuum in the protection of the local population under illegal occupation and allows businesses to benefit from normalised breaches of peremptory international law. Various branches of international law, including human rights law, IHL, international environmental law and the law of the sea, are exploring the possibility of imposing positive due diligence obligations on home states to regulate transnational conduct of their corporate nationals. This book will examine whether the insights gained on due diligence to regulate transnational business conduct in the aforementioned areas of international law can be transposed mutatis mutandis to the context of the customary duty of non-assistance, due to their significant similarities with the book's central research issue. By introducing a novel, positive reading of the duty of non-assistance - which would not only oblige home states not to render aid or assistance to situations breaching norms of jus cogens, but also to take all necessary measures to ensure that their corporate nationals do not contribute to the maintaining of illegal occupations - this book aims to offer an additional, innovative legal avenue to tackle potentially harmful business conduct in illegally occupied territories and provide concrete guidance on how policymakers, legal practitioners, and businesses should cope with the obligation's implications on the ground.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Belgium plays a pioneering role in health law: it has extensive, forward-looking health legislation, which has resulted in a great deal of case law. This case law and the very active legal doctrine on health law are brought together in the bilingual Journal on Health Law. There is also a comprehensive standard work in Dutch, the Handbook on Health Law. Not only does Belgium have extensive legislation on health law, that legislation is also quite unique and progressive. This book therefore focuses on: the Belgian Law on euthanasia, the Abortion Law, the Law on Embryo Research, medically assisted fertility treatments, informed consent, professional confidentiality, medical records, GDPR, the right to complain, medical liability and the Belgian Law on Medical Accidents, minors and patients with mental illness, organ transplantation and medical experiments, and hospital legislation. Each chapter concludes with a summary setting out what makes Belgian law unique. This volume seeks to enhance the accessibility of Belgian health law for an international audience. Moving beyond a purely descriptive account of legislation, it offers a comprehensive analysis of the 'living law' as applied within the courts. Thierry Vansweevelt is a professor at the University of Antwerp where he teaches the modules 'Liability Law and Risk Insurance' and 'Health Law'. His PhD thesis 'The Liability of Doctors and Hospitals' was awarded the prestigious Fernand Collin Prize and he received the University of Antwerp Research Council Prize for his entire body of work.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Provisions of EU law may sometimes affect national law beyond their formal scope of application. This volume explores such 'spillovers' from EU private law into the Member States' domestic law from a comparative perspective, with a special focus on the legal systems of Germany and Italy. The contributions examine whether the spillover effects produced by EU law undermine or, conversely, enhance the coherence of national private law. The first chapter sheds light on the concept of 'spillover effects' and sets out the overarching research questions guiding the contributions. The next two chapters offer a broader analysis of spillover effects into national private law, while the remaining chapters deal with spillover effects in specific fields of private law, namely in relation to judicial review of unfair contract terms, sales law and, finally, competition law. Finally, an epilogue summarises the main findings. This volume is aimed at scholars and practitioners specialised in European law, EU private law as well as comparative law. With contributions by Andrea Barenghi, Elena Bargelli, Enrico Camilleri, Giovanni De Cristofaro, Florian Faust, Matteo Fornasier, Martin Gebauer, Beate Gsell, Christian Heinze and Fabian Klinck.
