Drawing on the experience of harmonization of the law of arbitration, it points out that divergent interpretation runs much deeper than is commonly assumed, and shows strong similarities to the ‘transplant effect’ discussed in the literature on legal transplants. The article examines why the transplant effect shows up in harmonization, and considers its importance for the eventual success or failure of harmonization projects.

Although the creation of the recuperação judicial in 2005 seemed like a revolution compared to the concordata that existed before it, it is much more like a return to what existed before. The second part deals with the problem of the legal nature - contractual or procedural - of the recuperação judicial. Although it has traditionally been viewed as a contract, we conclude that this vision no longer holds due to changes in the brazilian procedure law.

Seen by:Standing on the Shoulders of Galbraith: From Managed Markets to Corporate-Guided Markets
Paper Presented to the European Sociological Association Conference in Geneva 7th to 10th September 2011

Galbraith (1972; 1998) with respect to managed markets and the management of specific demand. The paper begins by dividing the global economy into three identifiable, though inter-connected sub-systems – the systems of scarcity, sufficiency and abundance. The dominant threat to the system of abundance is under-consumption by the people of plenty; the institution of marketing spontaneously emerges to counter this threat (Sheehan, 2010). Next the paper sets out Galbraith’s analysis of managed markets, which is applicable to the system of abundance. Galbraith’s approach marks a distinct break with the idea of the invisible hand; though his analysis has it has some important limitations. Finally, the paper introduces Sheehan’s new concept of corporate-guided markets for branded products. This is the general market form in the system of abundance. The concept of a corporate-guided market seeks to refine and develop Galbraith’s analysis; most importantly it fully incorporates the role played by the institution of marketing. Put another way, the insights contained in this paper are the result of standing on the shoulders of an economic giant – J.K. Galbraith.

Included is also an analysis of the landmark arbitrations case, Helnan International Hotels A/S and The Arab Republic of Egypt, ICSID Case No. 05/19. Additionally, this article highlights the unique aspects of Islamic or Sharia law in relation to commercial law and ICA. It includes discussions of expropriation, usury and custom in context; as they bear on the substantive questions related to ICA law within an Islamic framework. The almost certain customary usage of ICA for the resolution of commercial disputes is also an occurrence in Malta. This necessitates a harmonised ICA law to ensure that trade and investment contracts are protected in the event of a dispute.

A seguito dell’entrata in vigore della riforma del diritto societario, con l’emanazione del d.lgs. 17 gennaio 2003, n. 6 e successive modificazioni, una parte considerevole della dottrina ha ritenuto che l’ammissibilità del controllo giudiziario della gestione delle società di capitali ex art. 2409 c.c., prima assolutamente pacifico, fosse da considerare superato nelle società a responsabilità limitata.
L'articolo esamina la posizione di dottrina e giurisprudenza anche alla luce della sentenza della Corte costituzionale 29 dicembre 2005, n. 481 e della sentenza della Corte di Cassazione Cass., 13 gennaio 2010, n. 403.

THE ‘3 IDIOTS’ CONTROVERSY— FOCUSING ON THE CONTRACTUAL LIABILITIES AND MORAL RIGHTS OF THE AUTHOR

The genesis of the dispute was in the novelist, Chetan Bhagat’s contention that the Production House, namely Vidhu Vinod Chopra Productions, had adapted the content of his novel to an extent far greater, and in a manner far more direct, than what he had been led to believe by way of the Agreement arrived at between them. Another allegation directed against the Production House was concerning the inadequacy of credits acknowledged to the Author by way of the said Agreement. The paper addresses the above issues under two distinct heads, namely the contractual liabilities and those pertaining to the intellectual property rights. It tries to suggest some remedial steps which could be taken by novelists in similar situations in addition to steps which could be taken by the State to give better protection to such vulnerable parties in the future.
