The book deals with set-off in international arbitration proceedings. In these proceedings, set-off is frequently the tool relied upon to resist a claim. At the same time, the legal intricacies make it hard to use. The first part of the book provides a survey of set-off, including its definition, significance and functions. The second part offers a thorough comparative analysis of selected European laws of set-off and reveals the dramatic differences between them. The third and last part of the book deals with the problematic consequences of these differences and shows the limits and the inadequacy of the traditional choice-of-law doctrines. While demonstrating how to overcome the practical hurdles of the present situation, the third part also offers normative alternatives that should provide significant help in the adjudication of commercial disputes.This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional''s International Arbitration online service.

Kindes- und Erwachsenenschutz ist gesellschaftlich brisant, weil er dem Staat Eingriffe in die Persönlichkeitsrechte der betroffenen Eltern bzw. der schutzbedürftigen Personen erlaubt. Umso wichtiger ist es, dass die Interventionen rechtlich und (sozialarbeits-)methodisch korrekt erfolgen.Das Handbuch bietet eine Praxisanleitung für Behördenmitglieder, Beiständinnen und Beistände sowie Fachkräfte im Kindes- und Erwachsenenschutz. Dabei werden rechtlich und methodisch relevante Aspekte von interdisziplinären Teams aus ausgewiesenen und erfahrenen Juristinnen und Juristen sowie Sozialarbeitenden kompakt und vertieft erläutert.Das Handbuch ist somit ein unverzichtbares Standardwerk für alle Praktikerinnen und Praktiker in KESB und Berufsbeistandschaften, für Studierende der Sozialen Arbeit und der Rechtswissenschaften, darüber hinaus aber auch für alle, die sich für Kindes- und Erwachsenenschutz interessieren.In der Neuauflage wurden namentlich das Unterhaltsrecht grundlegend überarbeitet und das Adoptionsrecht neu verfasst. Die Zweitauflage berücksichtigt ferner die neuesten Entwicklungen in Rechtsprechung und Gesetzgebung, etwa im Bereich der Meldepflichten. Der Ansatz bleibt ebenso interdisziplinär und praxisorientiert wie in der Erstauflage.

Dieses Lehrbuch wendet sich in erster Linie an Studierende zur Vor- und Nachbereitung der Vorlesung "Obligationenrecht, Allgemeiner Teil". Entsprechend dieser Zielsetzung versucht es, Grundstrukturen aufzuzeigen, um ein zusammenhängendes Verständnis dieser Kernmaterie des Privatrechts zu ermöglichen. Dabei steht die Herausarbeitung der widerstreitenden Interessen und der Sachfragen im Vordergrund. Auf eine tiefschürfende Auseinandersetzung mit Theorien wird vor allem da verzichtet, wo diese keine Praxisrelevanz besitzen. Einbezogen ist auch das ausservertragliche Haftpflichtrecht. Entscheidend dafür war der Gedanke, Gemeinsamkeiten, aber vor allem auch Unterschiede vertraglicher und deliktischer Haftung plastisch werden zu lassen.Die 8. Auflage des Lehrbuchs berücksichtigt die Rechtsprechung und Literatur bis Ende Mai 2020.

La question du droit aux relations personnelles avec les enfants est devenue un enjeu juridique et sociétal majeur. Tant du point de vue du droit international que du droit suisse, le père ou la mère qui ne détient pas la garde ainsi que l'enfant mineur ont, en principe, réciproquement le droit d'entretenir les relations personnelles. Comment garantir ce droit lorsque l'un des parents est par exemple incarcéré ou lorsque l'enfant a dû être placé hors du milieu familial afin d'être protégé ? De plus, le droit suisse reconnaît un droit pour des tiers à entretenir des relations personnelles avec l'enfant. Ce droit est-il effectivement garanti en Suisse ? Le présent ouvrage a pour but de répondre à ces questions grâce à l'expertise de plusieurs praticiennes actives dans la protection de l'enfance.
