EDWARDA MUSZALSKIEGO KONCEPCJA NARODOWEGO PRAWA CYWILNEGO

Edward Muszalski’s Idea of National Private LawSummary The paper presents the views of Polish lawyer Edward Muszalski on the state of private law in Europe and Poland of the interwar period and his proposals for changes. Muszalski assumed that the law was shaped by two schools of thought : liberal and socialist. In the 18th and 19th century the liberal school dominated, the result of which was the creation of the Napoleonic Code and the BGB. In the 19th century, socialism also influenced the law, which resulted in the creation of labor legislation and trade unions. In the 20th century, the bad qualities of both schools came together in the law of the Soviet Union. However it was possible to…
Problematical aspects of the remedial perspective
2009
Il saggio analizza la c.d. prospettiva rimediale tipica del common law alla luce della sua diffusione sempre crescente nella dottrina e nella giurisprudenza italiane così da verificarne le possibili forme d’uso in un sistema come quello italiano che poggia sulla legge scritta ed è informato alla logica della sussunzione. L’Autore rinviene profili di incompatibilità tra l’approccio rimediale, da un lato, e la struttura del sistema giuridico italiano, dall’altro lato, e tutto ciò conduce, dunque, a suggerire un’adesione alla tecnica rimediale in termini, per così dire, «filtrati», così da sottoporne l’ingresso nell’ordinamento al vaglio di integrabilità nel sistema. Un esempio in tal senso, m…
Smoke gets in Euro-eyes: fusione e fissione del diritto comunitario
2021
In questo saggio si ricostruisce il meccanismo della "influenza" e refluenza reciproche tra diritto comunitario e diritto degli stati membri. In particolare si ricostruisce il meccanismo della disapplicazione del diritto interno alla luce del confronto con il sistema di common law e del rapporto tra equity e case law.
Per una riconsiderazione del risarcimento del danno da perdita di chance
2009
Il saggio indaga le problematiche attinenti la tutela della perdita di chance. In particolare si approfondisce la possibilità di sussumere il danno da perdita di chance entro le due specie di responsabilità previste dall’ordinamento – contrattuale ed extracontrattuale – e la compatibilità del pregiudizio in commento con il requisito della certezza del danno. Sul primo versante l’a. circoscrive la tutela della perdita di chance alla responsabilità contrattuale, sul secondo versante si ritiene che il requisito della certezza del danno impone di limitare il risarcimento del danno da perdita di chance all’ipotesi in cui essa rappresenti un danno emergente ex art. 1223 c.c. Si critica, inoltre, …

Agreement on the charges for staying at a nursing home in the case law of administrative courtsThis paper is devoted to the issue of concluding an agreement on the charges for staying at a nursing home in the case law of administrative courts. The debated issue is based on a very extensive case law and against this background the most important problems are discussed. The first problem concerns the sources and forms of participation in the cost of maintaining a person in a social welfare home. In the case law of administrative courts a prevailing view is that law is the source. Other opinion says that the source is an administrative decision. The second opinion cannot be accepted. The views…
The Ill-Fated Union: Constitutional Entrenchment of Rights and the Will Theory from Rousseau to Waldron
2014
This chapter revisits the key theses of Georg’s Jellinek’s Declaration of the Rights of Man and of Citizens: A Contribution to Modern Constitutional History [1895]. The objective of this chapter is to expose the ‘umbilical cord’ that linked the notion of ‘constitutional’ rights and the will theory, on one side, and the internal incompatibility of notion of ‘inalienable rights’ with the will theory – reflecting an unabated conflict of the doctrines of parliamentary supremacy and constitutional rights, on another side. These doctrines are part of both ‘continental’ and ‘common law’ traditions. Our intent is also to reflect on the shared groundwork of the doctrine of sovereignty of Hobbes, Aus…
The defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in the Italian criminal justice system
2021
The criminal law standard of Beyond A Reasonable Doubt (BARD) constitutes an evidentiary and judicial rule, formulated and applied for centuries in common law jurisdictions, which was expressly stated in the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure only about fifteen years ago. Unfortunately, the concept of reasonable doubt is inherently complex and does not easily lend itself to definition or refinement. In this regard, the Author examines especially the various positions and elaborations developed by legal literature and case-law in Italy, proposing a specific interpretation of the BARD rule that enhances and completes the particular procedural connotations of the adversarial system adopted i…
El enaltecimiento del terrorismo: desde el caso de Juana Chaos a César Strawberry. La recepción de la doctrina constitucional en la jurisprudencia de…
2020
The paper deals with the impact of the first ruling of the Constitutional Court on glorification of terrorism (112/2016) in the interpretation of this offence by the Supreme Court, which demands hermeneutically requirements absent from the literality of art. 578 of the Criminal Code and that the Constitutional Court required in its previous case law on hate speech, recently reiterated in the ruling 35/2020 of the Constitutional Court. Firstly, the text addresses the initial description of the elements of this criminal figure by the Supreme Court and its characterization as public defence without incitement, as opposed to the definition of the crime of public provocation to terrorism in the …
The Prosecution of International Crimes in Argentina
2010
AbstractIn recent years, the Argentine courts have developed a rich case law surrounding the prosecution of international crimes. In particular, the courts have handed down judgments regarding the limits to amnesties and pardons, and the inapplicability of statutory limitations for crimes against humanity, invoking several sources of international law in the process. However, applying these international norms has caused debate about constitutional matters such as the reach of the principle of legality, the use of customary law, and whether domestic criminal norms are compatible—or could even be combined—with international criminal norms.
