La regulación del derecho de alimentos en la Unión Europea
2015
El trabajo aborda una de las cuestiones más relevantes hoy en día en el marco de las relaciones familiares a nivel internacional. En efecto, el constante movimiento transfronterizo de personas implica inevitablemente un aumento de las relaciones familiares mixtas. Ello, a su vez, provoca un incremento de los conflictos de carácter familiar. De hecho, la inmensa mayoría de los casos, las reclamaciones de alimentos a nivel transfronterizo tienen su origen en un procedimiento de divorcio o separación judicial. Si a todo ello le unimos el nuevo marco económico surgido de la crisis económica global que estamos atravesando llegamos a la conclusión que el número de reclamaciones alimenticias a niv…
El camino hacia el reconocimiento legal de la violencia sexual contra la mujer en tiempos de guerra
2020
El objetivo de este trabajo es explorar el proceso de configuración de un Derecho Internacional que atienda al fenómeno de la violencia sexual contra las mujeres en contextos de conflictos armados, analizando el alcance del cambio de paradigma logrado en los años noventa con la tipificación y enjuiciamiento de la violencia sexual contra las mujeres en conflictos armados en el ámbito de la justicia penal internacional y, en última instancia, identificando posibles elementos sobre los que seguir avanzando hacia un Derecho Internacional que reconozca un estatus jurídico de las mujeres y huya de la imagen única de la mujer como víctima. © 2020 University of Valencia, Human Rights Institute.

Female leadership, performance, and governance in microfinance institutions
2014
Abstract This paper investigates the relations between female leadership, firm performance, and corporate governance in a global panel of 329 Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) in 73 countries covering the years 1998–2008. The microfinance industry is particularly suited for studying the impact of female leadership on governance and performance because of its mission orientation, its entrepreneurial nature, diverse institutional conditions, and high percentage of female leaders. We find female leadership to be significantly associated with larger boards, younger firms, a non-commercial legal status, and more female clientele. Furthermore, we find that a female chief executive officer and a fe…

2014
DeutschDie durch eine Aktionarsminderheit einberufene auserordentliche Hauptversammlung der Balda AG vom 18. 7. 2013 1 hat gezeigt, dass Rechtsstellung und Befugnisse der gerichtlich zur Einberufung ermachtigten Minderheit bislang wenig geklart sind.

Der Beitrag bejaht diese Frage. EnglishUnder Section 122 Para. 3 of the German Stock Corporation Act, a court may authorise shareholders to call a sh…

Franchisors' disclosure duty: market transparency and franchisee protection
2014
The franchisee is usually the most vulnerable part of the franchise relationship, and should therefore receive greater protection from the legal framework. In this regard, the franchisor's pre-contractual disclosure duty has evolved in its legal status. Whereas its original purpose was to ensure transparency in the market, it now serves to protect the franchisee. In this paper, we compare the franchisor's obligations established by the legal framework in Spain with those set out in the Model Law drawn up by The International Institute for the Unification of Private Law.
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…

Legally protected cultural goods and bankruptcy proceedings
2020
This paper deals with general problems of legal aims of bankruptcy proceedings in connection with the aims of heritage protection – issues built by completely different systems of values. Bankruptcy is designed for protecting pecuniary interest of a limited group of people, while cultural heritage is protected for present and future generations, despite its current commercial significance. In the global environment, bankruptcy of a cultural goods owner usually has a cross-border range but national bankruptcy legislations and laws devoted to heritage protection differ in very serious aspects. For this reason the paper is not limited to any concrete legal order. There are discussed some impor…
