The Comparative Law Yearbook of International Business, published under the aegis of the Center for International Legal Studies, Austria, in this 44th volume, aims to add to the contemporary discourse by exploring a wide array of challenges faced in the arena of business law. It serves to provide insight to business law practitioners and academics on the latest developments. The following topics have been discussed:

How uniformity of the treaties and conventions is compromised after they are subjected to the varied interpretation of domestic law.

How the contractual laws of different jurisdictions deal with situations such as global health crises.

The role of the World Trade Organization in enhancing the legitimacy of global economic governance within the scope of the trade laws.

How the concept of naked licensing in trademark law differs in the United States, United Kingdom, and India.

How the best effort clauses operate as a mechanism to deal with unenforceable obligations in pandemic-like situations and how it is difficult to implement and comply with the same.

Whether PRIME Finance is the last link in the global governance of financial institutions on international law-making or just a part of the social circle. 

Whether mediation should be made compulsory for all commercial litigation cases or is it time for the new rendition of Halsey v. Milton Keynes?

The legal challenges faced by the adoption of Insurtech in the Fintech Industry.

How the ex-post mechanism of Corporate Insolvency and Bankruptcy laws differs with respect to the rights and position of creditors in the liquidation process in India and Germany.

How the Corporate Governance Code varies across different jurisdictions such as Mainland China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, Japan, and Germany.

How the international investment law uncovers the inequalities between foreign investors and states, developed and developing states, and foreign and domestic investors.

The authors are practitioners and academics from  Argentina, Australia, Belgium, China, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Singapore, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. They provide a nuanced perspective on a large spectrum of issues witnessed in the arena of business laws.

The Comparative Law Yearbook of International Business, published under the auspices of the Center for International Legal Studies, in this 41st  volume spans an arc from nuanced discussion of the notion of ‘creativity’ under various copyright regimes and product designations over corporate organization, acquisition and criminal conduct, regulation of payment services and tax evasion to dealing with disruptive behaviour in international arbitration. The authors, practitioners and academics from Japan, Poland, Romania, Greece, Turkey, Iran, Spain and England bring a medley of perspectives addressing developments and pressing legal issues for businesses that are engaged in international commerce and investment, such as the difficulty of prosecuting corporate crimes, disincentives for tax offenders to cooperate with authorities, and new paradigms for banking.

What’s in this book: Among the broad spectrum of aspects, the book covers such issues and topics as the following:

–    reorganization of the concept of creativity by functions; –    designation of products, business and entrepreneurs; –    dividend distribution in public companies; –    tax evasion, disproportionate punishment and lack of remedies; and –    transposition of the European Payment Services Directive 2.

How this will help you: As a scrutiny of the updated developments in the legal fields, this Yearbook helps readers gain insight into national and regional perspectives on the interpretation of laws. The presentation of the reports aids in understanding the impact of such legal developments in practice. Thus, this book serves as a source of knowledge for lawyers and academics to comprehend the changing legal rules and regulations and to confidently apply them in solving problems.

Conflict avoidance and resolution have always been primary purposes of the law. Satisfaction with judicial processes has declined in many jurisdictions. After the diversion of many disputes from courts to arbitral tribunals, arbitration has now also become a target of intense criticism.This dissatisfaction with binding third party adjudication of disputes coincides with rising tensions among citizens asking basic questions about what they can expect from each other and their governments in a constantly changing world.

One response has been the proliferation of processes between disputing parties that are structured and interactive negotiation and assisted by a neutral third party using specialized negotiation and communication techniques. These processes have been labelled “mediation”.

While mediation is not focused on the identification and application of legal rights and duties in the way that adjudication is, its success remains dependent on a legal framework which is still evolving in most jurisdictions and especially across borders.

In this edition of the Comparative Law Yearbook of International Business, lawyers from nine jurisdictions examine developments relating not only to the framework for cross-border mediation, such as the Singapore Convention or inter-State disputes, or relating to their countries’ overall approaches to regulating this method of dispute resolution, but also relating to specific issues, such as mediator ethics and conflicts of interest, and even exploring the neural science of conflict dynamics.

The 42nd issue of the Comparative Law Yearbook of International Business addresses a diverse range of topical issues of national and international consequence. Ranging from an analysis of the pari passu principle and its operation in corporate insolvency in the UK, to international trends regarding mediation and its future development under the new Singapore Convention, the findings presented in the 10 chapters of this edition will interest both those involved in and those studying the legal regime for cross-border business activities.

Authors from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, France, Italy, Japan, Poland, Russia, Taiwan, and the United States of America examine a panoply of matters, e.g. relating to anti-corruption measures, arbitration, company law, competition law, financial law and mediation. The comparative analysis serves to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of approaches adopted, in particular jurisdictions by juxtaposing them with their equivalents in others in North America, Europe and beyond.

Climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic have brought into focus how vulnerable our “normal” lives are. More than ever, there is a need to regulate the competition for and exploitation of increasingly scare natural resources. But how are the competing interests to be balanced? And who is to undertake the regulation? The air, the climate, and the seas escape national boundaries. And while the reset of the pandemic may have alleviated some of the pressure, it has also highlighted how health and hygiene regimes are of global importance.

The present volume does not capture the breadth or depth of current concerns of international environmental law. However, it does offer eight amuse-bouches to whet readers’ intellectual appetites: EU perspectives on habitat protection and risk management in times of climate change and health crises; WTO perspectives on the renewable energy sector and the protection of marine habitats; a discourse on how international law imposes environmental responsibilities with regard to disputed maritime areas; a comparison of national regulations against each other and the international framework for dealing with plastic waste; a look at Kuwait’s evolving approach to waste disposal and management; an examination of Brazil’s legal framework for dam safety in the wake of recent catastrophic events; and finally, a pioneering Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) in regard to destruction of the Amazon
