The Role of the Prefect in the Italian Legal System
2014
Any approach to the prefectoral institute, as it appears today as result of the recent changes introduced in the Italian legal system over the last years, cannot be reconstructed by starting from government representation, and consequently, from the fundamental character of several competences of the Prefect in Italy in the light of the deep reforms of the Italian public administration in the perspective of the “multi-level constitutionalism” the progressive emergence and developments of organs, structure and procedures that create legal norms and impose such norms on citizens of different national states3.
Corporate Governance in Scandinavia
2008
This article addresses the role of formal institutions and informal networks on corporate governance practices. The existing corporate governance literature has mostly examined the formal institutions, such as the effect of legal systems. Our contribution is to consider the effect of informal “small world” characteristics of ownership and board networks. We use the case of Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway and Sweden) to examine these effects. Our empirical results reveal large differences in formal board and ownership structures between the Scandinavian countries, but strong similarities in terms of law enforcement, political stability, government effectiveness, rule of law, control of corrupti…
Parliamentary Actors as Politicians
2018
The chapter discusses the horizon of chances of elected parliamentarians as politicians. Parliamentary representation is based on the freedom from dependence with its four classical faces: free speech, free mandate, freedom from arrest as well as free and fair elections. Special attention is given to the dualism between the partisan commitment as the basis of electing members and the freedom from dependence as the basic of parliamentary operations of members. The professionalisation of parliamentarians provides a condition to master the rules of procedure and rhetoric of debate in order to control government and bureaucracy.
El derecho de los parlamentarios a recabar documentación administrativa. Nuevas perspectivas jurisprudenciales a raíz de su creciente judicialización
2019
For just over five years, for the first time in our democratic history, the right of parliamentarians to collect documentation from public administrations has been judicialized in the contentious-administrative way. A cluster of cases with a single common focus: tense government-parliament relations in the Valencian Community. This conflict has led, in the course of these years, to a high number of resolutions of both the Superior Court of Justice of the Valencian Community and the Supreme Court. A total of more than forty sentences that have had a considerable impact on the delimitation of this right. This article examines these judicial resolutions and offers a global analysis of the inte…
Make It or Break It: The Break-Through Rule as a Break-Through for the European Takeover Directive?
2003
The break-through concept is the most recent idea to break the deadlock with respect to EU takeover legislation. As devised by the High-Level Group of Company Law Experts, chaired by the Dutch Jaap Winter, the break-through concept would do away with two of the most important types of impediments to takeovers within EU member states. The first part of the paper explores the break-through concept in some detail, particularly with respect to its premises, its two guiding principles - exclusive shareholder decisionmaking and proportionality, - and the justifications given by the Group for the proposed interventionist rules. The second part of the paper is dedicated to an analysis of the econom…
Radbruch´s Introduction to the Science of Law as the Spirit of a Time
2021
En este artículo comparo la primera y última edición de la Introducción de la ciencia del derecho de Gustav Radbruch. Me centro en aquellos aspectos que bosquejan su concepto de derecho, a saber, la relación entre derecho y moral, su modelo de Estado y la creación judicial del derecho. El resultado está determinado por la circunstancia vital e histórica de las dos ediciones: la primera publicada antes de la IGM, siendo Radbruch un joven docente en Heidelberg; la última fue redactada ya en la República de Weimar, habiendo ocupado la cartera de Justicia y siendo un reconocido jurista.
Kraniometrische Merkmale bei unterschiedlichen Anomalien
1972
Die vorangegangenen Ausfuhrungen verfolgten das Ziel, die Frage aufzuhellen, ob fur Anomalien des Kieferbereiches eine weitgehende Unabhangigkeit vom Aufbau des Gesichtsschadels besteht. Zu diesem Zweck wurden je 10 Fernrontgen-Profilaufnahmen von 5 typischen Anomaliegruppen ausgewahlt und im Hinblick auf die Fragestellung ausgewertet. Das mit Hilfe biostatistischer Verfahren gewonnene Ergebnis gibt zu erkennen, das keine der gewahlten Variablen des Gesichtsschadels eine spezifische Zuordnung zu einer bestimmten Anomaliegruppe ermoglichte. Zwischen kraniometrischen Merkmalen und Gebisanomalien bestehen demnach keine engeren Beziehungen.
THE ROLE OF ACCOUNTABILITY WITHIN A ZERO WASTE STRATEGY: EVIDENCES FROM A SICILIAN SMALL MUNICIPALITY
2017
Building a sustainable city model comprising an integrated waste management system has become an indispensable choice, also in the light of increasingly stringent regulatory constraints. The core point of the paper is the implementation of a zero waste strategy in a small municipality in Sicily. Given that only the unceasing participation of citizens may ensure the persistence over time of such a policy, accountability process works letting citizens approach directly the end-results of their ongoing good practices. By building up a SD model framed by a DPM chart, it is possible to figure out how disclosure of public saving resulting from the decreasing amount of waste piled up in the landfi…
Necessidade do controlar de oficio as cláusulas abusivas nos contratos com consumidores: Estudo comparado com o sistema espanhol
2016
Las autoridades europeas abogan por dotar al juez de mayores facultades para controlar ex officio la inclusión de cláusulas abusivas en los contratos de adhesión celebrados entre empresarios y consumidores. Una línea jurisprudencial incorporada en España, mejorando así la tutela y protección de los derechos e intereses de los consumidores. No obstante, países como Uruguay no contemplan esta posibilidad, impidiendo al juez realizar un control de contenido cuando no haya sido solicitado por las partes puesto que se cuestiona su anulación debido a la propia naturaleza de la nulidad. En el presente artículo analizamos las diferentes regulaciones de las cláusulas abusivas en los ordenamientos es…
Death of a 23-year-old man from cardiac conduction system injury through a blunt chest impact after a car accident.
2014
Abstract Cardiac contusion, usually caused by blunt chest trauma, has been recognized with increased frequency over the past decades. Traffic accidents are the most frequent causes of cardiac contusion resulting from a direct blow to the chest. Myocardial contusion is difficult to diagnose; the clinical presentation varies greatly, ranging from a lack of symptoms to cardiogenic shock and arrhythmia. Although death is rare, cardiac contusion can be fatal. The authors report a case of death due to a cardiac conduction system injury from a blunt chest impact following a car accident. The autopsy showed no external signs of thoracic trauma, no evident rib or sternum fractures. A small sub-endoc…
