Postępowanie w sprawie udzielenia pomocy osobom pokrzywdzonym przestępstwem, świadkom oraz osobom im najbliższym. Aspekty proceduralne
2020
W niniejszym opracowaniu zostały podjęte dwie kwestie związane z udzielaniem pomocy osobom pokrzywdzonym przestępstwem, świadkom oraz osobom im najbliższym. Pierwsza dotyczy analizy skuteczności transpozycji do polskiego porządku prawnego Dyrektywy Parlamentu Europejskiego i Rady 2012/29/UE z dnia 25 października 2012 r. ustanawiająca normy minimalne w zakresie praw, wsparcia i ochrony ofiar przestępstw. Autor stwierdza, że generalnie implementacja nastąpiła prawidłowo, choć pewne wątpliwości budzi przyjęta definicja osób najbliższych wobec ofiar pozostających we wspólnym pożyciu, co pozwoli na uniknięcie luki prawnej w tym zakresie. Drugi aspekt podniesiony w niniejszym opracowaniu dotyczy…
THE ADMINISTRATIVE JUSTICE IN SPAIN: CURRENT SITUATION AND CHALLENGES
2016
Since the Spanish Constitution of 1978 there has been a full and effective administrative justice. The citizens have the possibility to request a judicial review of decisions taken by the public Administrations, while being either the owners of a subjective right or of a legitimate interest. The interim judicial protection is not limited to the suppression of the act or general provision and the Courts are invested with direct powers to enforce their sentences. However, different problematic issues about the inactivity of the public Administrations and the enforcement of sentences are the new challenges to ensure the administrative justice. To this it must be added that there are problems r…
Unfair play? Video games as exploitative monetized services: An examination of game patents from a consumer protection perspective
2019
Video games as a consumer product have changed significantly with the advent of in-game purchasing systems (e.g., microtransactions, ‘loot boxes’). This review examines consumer protections related to in-game purchasing by anticipating some of the potential design strategies that might contribute to higher risk consumer behavior. Attention was directed towards the analysis of patents for potential in-game purchasing systems, with 13 identified on Google Patents. The design features were analysed in relation to the consumer rights and guarantees described in the terms of use agreements of the patent assignees. The analysis revealed that some in-game purchasing systems could be characterized …
Is Democracy Exportable?
2017
Among many aspects to the question of whether democracy is exportable, this contribution focuses on the role of the people, understood not as a unitary actor but as a heterogeneous set: the citizens. The people matter, in a different way, both in the countries to which democracy might be exported and in the democratic countries in which the question is about promoting democracy elsewhere. The mechanisms or characteristics involved in the discussion include yardstick competition, differences among citizens in the intensity of their preferences, differences among autocracies regarding intrusion into private life, citizens’ assessments of future regime change, and responsiveness of elected inc…
El principio de proporcionalidad como criterio hermenéutico en la justicia constitucional
2011
RESUMEN. La presente contribución realiza un análisis crítico sobre la aplicación judicial del principio de proporcionalidad para la concretización del contenido material de los derechos fundamentales, en contraposición a las posturas divergentes, que señalan que este instrumento ha traído inseguridad al plano de la interpretación constitucional, dada la visión de los derechos fundamentales como principios y de establecer una jerarquía axiológica movediza, además de inestabilidad e imprevisibilidad a la solución del mismo conflicto en casos futuros. La visión que ofrecemos sitúa al principio de proporcionalidad como un instrumento de la hermenéutica constitucional, capaz de brindar una fund…

Returns To Education During And After The Economic Crisis: Evidence From Latvia 2006–2012
2017
We employ EU-SILC micro data for Latvia to study how returns to education changed during the economic crisis of 2008–2009 and afterwards. We found that returns to education increased significantly during the crisis and decreased slightly during the subsequent economic recovery. The counter-cyclical effect was evident in nearly all population groups. After the crisis, education became more associated than before with a longer working week and a higher employment probability. Furthermore, we show that returns to education in Latvia are generally higher in the capital city and its suburbs than outside the capital city region, as well as for citizens of Latvia than for resident non-citizens and…
