  3. Motive Matters!

    Motive Matters!

    An exploration of the notion 'deliberate breach of contract' and its consequences for the application of remedies
    Book | 1st edition 2013 | United Kingdom | Martijn van Kogelenberg
    This book argues that motive in committing breach of contract should matter in the application of remedies in contract. Deliberate breach of contract requires a different and sterner answer from the law of contract than any other breach of contract, because equally remedying all breaches of contract threatens parties’ trust in the law of contract.

  6. The Constitutional Relevance of the ECHR in Domestic and European Law

    The Constitutional Relevance of the ECHR in Domestic and European Law

    An Italian Perspective
    Book | 1st edition 2013 | United Kingdom | Giorgio Repetto
    In recent years the European Convention on Human Rights gained unexpected relevance in the European constitutional culture. On the one hand its increasing importance is closely linked to institutional reforms that strengthened the European Court of Human Rights’ reputation vis-à-vis the Member States. On the other hand, and even more importantly, the ECHR’s significance arises from a changing perception of its constitutional potential. This volume examines the different facets of the ECHR’s constitutional relevance by separating the ECHR’s role as a ‘factor of Europeanisation’ for national constitutional systems from its role as a veritable European transnational constitution in the field of human rights.

Such rules are the core of most methods of adjudication and they are the main theme of the present volume, which focuses specifically on the rules of evidence within the context of efficiency in civil proceedings.

  17. International Social Security Standards in the European Union

    International Social Security Standards in the European Union

    The Cases of the Czech Republic and Estonia
    Book | 1st edition 2011 | Europe | Tineke Dijkhoff
    Within the European Union, social security basically remains a national field of competence. The lack of common norms has paved the way for a large disparity in social protection between EU Member States, which is not conducive to the European single market. Moreover, it may lead to an increase in poverty and social exclusion and intensify economic competition between Member States. At the same time, almost all EU Member States are bound by one or more international social security instruments developed by the ILO and by the Council of Europe. This book analyses the international standards, followed by the case studies of the Czech Republic and Estonia.
