Criterio para establecer el plazo de recurrir el silencio administrativo negativo
2012
En nuestro ordenamiento vigente hay normas y principios contradictorios relativos a la existencia de un plazo preclusivo para la interposición del recurso contencioso en el supuesto de desestimación por silencio administrativo de las solicitudes o recursos presentados por los interesados. Una amplia corriente jurisprudencial del TC ampara, al menos, la ampliación de los plazos legales establecidos en la LJ aunque no los ha declarado, expresamente, inconstitucionales, mientras que el TS carece de una posición unitaria en la materia. El trabajo pretende la individualización de un criterio para armonizar la obligación de la Administración de resolver de forma expresa y, el correlativo derecho …
Opinion Statement ECJ-TF 4/2019 on the CJEU Decision of February 26, 2019, in Case C-135/17, X-GmbH, Concerning the Application of the German CFC Leg…
2019
This article deals with case, X-GmbH (Case C-135/17) concerning the compatibility of German CFC legislation with regard to third countries. In Germany, CFC legislation only applies in cross-border situations and not in purely domestic situations. In general, the application of CFC legislation requires that the shareholders have control over the foreign subsidiary, that the foreign subsidiary be taxed at a lower rate and that it earn passive income. Concerning a special type of passive income, there is even no control requirement. In relation to other EU and EEA countries, Germany does not apply its CFC legislation if the taxpayer proves that the company carries on a genuine economic activit…

The Barratry of the Shipmaster in Early Modern Law: The Approach of Italian and English Law Courts
2019
Summary For a long time, the concept of barratry (at least in its maritime meaning) was one and the same on both sides of the Channel. The barratry of the shipmaster was part of the mercantile usages, and it identified the intentionally blameworthy conduct of the master. When law courts began to decide on insurance litigation they were confronted with a notion quite alien to them. Broadly speaking, the shipmaster’s barratry could well be considered a fraud of sort. But in order to decide on its occurrence in a specific case, law courts had to analyse it in legal terms, and so according to the specific legal categories of their own system. The point ceases to be trivially obvious if we think…
El inicio de la vida humana y el alcance de su protección jurídica en la jurisprudencia europea e internacional
2014
The international human rights treaties recognize the right to life, but most of them do not determine if the unborn is within its scope and what the degree of protection. Given this lack of specificity, the interpretation and application of this fundamental right by its supervisory bodies is particularly important. The analysis of existing case law about it - mainly from Europe - will enable us to contribute to the definition of subjective and objective scope of the protection of the unborn.

The legal origin of income inequality
2014
The legal origin movement is implicitly functionalist, while it explicitly prioritizes economic dimensions of development. From this perspective, the empirical findings presented in this paper seem to uncover the existence of a paradox. On the one hand, common law countries are apparently characterized by countless advantages, yet they do not grow faster than civil law countries. On the other hand, common law countries present a more unequal distribution of income, thus suggesting that also from a static perspective there is no a priori reason to prefer a common law system. To further investigate this paradox, we analyze if common law countries are at least characterized by a better kind (e…
La jurisprudencia del TEDH en materia de trata de seres humanos y la necesidad de regresar a las categorías jurídicas de esclavitud, servidumbre y tr…
2020
espanolEste repaso a la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Europeo de derechos humanos en materia de trata en los ultimos quince anos senala con preocupacion el abandono de las categorias de esclavitud, servidumbre y trabajo forzado y la omnipresencia de la trata; una categoria que deja en situacion de desamparo a buena parte de sus victimas. El articulo se detiene en tres casos paradigmaticos: caso Siliadin v. Francia (2005); Rantsev v. Rusia y Chipre (2010); y S.M v. Croacia (2020). El analisis es critico con el concepto de trata que utiliza el TEDH en su jurisprudencia e insiste en la necesidad de regresar al derecho internacional de los derechos humanos abandonando la categoria de trata y su u…
The Europeanisation of Spanish Administrative Law through the Principle of Legitimate Expectations
2020
This article describes the Europeanisation of Spanish administrative law as a result of the influence of the EU law general principle of legitimate expectations. It examines, firstly, whether the formal incorporation of the principle of legitimate expectations into national legislation and case law has modified the substance of the latter, and if so, secondly, whether this has led to a weaker or a more robust protection of the legal status quo. To carry out that examination, the article considers the influence of the principle of legitimate expectations in two different areas: in individual administrative decision-making, and in legislative and administrative rulemaking. Our conclusion is t…
Lex mercatoria, civil law e common law, nel processo di unificazione del diritto privato marittimo internazionale. Il "Caso Canada".
2009
The essay deals with the problem of the unification of international maritime law by virtue of maritime international customary rules (lex mercatoria maritima). The first part focuses on the underpinnings of the application of customary international law in different countries and, in particular, in Italy and France, then on the evolution of international maritime law as a mixed legal system, drawing from civil law sources, even in England. The second part of the essay deals with the problem of unification of maritime law in Canada, which, as a mixed legal system, owing to the existence of a civil law system in the Province of Québec, could be observed as a “laboratory” of the relationship …
