Cargo claims are the most frequent form of third-party liability incurred by carriers by sea and their P&I insurers. They are the bread-and-butter work of ship operators and P&I clubs, with each club handling thousands of cargo claims every year. This new book examines every aspect of cargo claims from a legal and practical perspective and complements other legal textbooks which specialise in bills of lading or charterparties. Following the life of a typical cargo claim, the book analyses the basis upon which carriers face liability for cargo loss and damage; the law on delay and deviation; cargo interests’ responsibilities for the cargo they ship; defences to cargo claims; the role of cargo insurers and subrogation; P&I cover for cargo claims; and the recovery options available to a carrier facing a cargo liability. Cargo Claims also includes a detailed clause-by-clause commentary on the InterClub Agreement.Written for practitioners and those working on cargo claims day-to-day, the book will be invaluable for ship operators, shipping law firms, barristers’ chambers, cargo recovery agencies and P&I insurers. Readers will gain a comprehensive guide to the handling of cargo claims by way of a detailed analysis of the underlying legal principles and through practical guidance.

Entreprenadkontrakt är ofta omfattande och komplicerade. De innehåller såväl rättsliga som tekniska villkor för de arbeten som entreprenören ska utföra för beställarens räkning. Det är vanligt att parterna har olika uppfattning om hur avtalsvillkor ska tolkas.
Högsta domstolen har under 2010-talet meddelat ett flertal domar om tolkning av bestämmelser i standardavtalen Allmänna bestämmelser (vars senaste versioner är AB 04 och ABT 06), som är avsedda för entreprenadavtal. Tolkningsfrågor om entreprenadavtal tar dock ofta sikte på tolkning av villkor i andra kontraktshandlingar än Allmänna bestämmelser, exempelvis villkor i administrativa föreskrifter och kravtexter i tekniska beskrivningar.
I Tolkning av entreprenadavtal behandlas praktiskt återkommande tolkningsfrågor som aktualiserar tolkning av villkor i andra kontraktshandlingar än Allmänna bestämmelser. Detta sker mot bakgrund av såväl Högsta domstolens praxis som avgöranden från underrätterna.
Boken riktar sig till praktiskt verksamma jurister samt ingenjörer och andra yrkesgrupper som regelbundet arbetar med entreprenadavtal. Den är också skriven för juridikstudenter.

I modern finansiering är det fundamentalt att kunna rangordna olika kreditgivare i förhållande till en gemensam kredittagare. Det kan till exempel handla om relationer mellan banker, kreditfonder och obligationsinnehavare. En sådan rangordning åstadkoms ofta genom ett intercreditoravtal. Bruket av intercreditoravtal är en del av en kontinuerlig utveckling av metoder för riskfördelning och krishantering, där kreditmarknadens aktörer själva är drivande. Genom att låta intercreditoravtal få genomslag vid företagsrekonstruktion och konkurs, åstadkoms ett slags harmonisering av villkoren för prioritetsskiktning mellan avtalsslutande borgenärer, utan ingrepp i nationell sak- eller insolvensrätt. Det finns en rik internationell litteratur om intercreditoravtal. Så här långt har sådana avtal emellertid inte varit föremål för någon mer omfattande undersökning med utgångspunkt i svensk rätt. Denna bok bryter således i stora delar ny mark. I boken analyseras intercreditoravtalets struktur och funktion samt förutsättningarna för att avtalet i sina centrala delar ska upprätthållas vid insolvens. Särskilt undersöks rättsverkningarna av avtal där en borgenär efterställer sig viss eller vissa andra borgenärer. Detta sker med hjälp av renodlade exempel och mot bakgrund av ändamål med regleringen på finansieringsområdet samt utvecklingen av internationell marknadspraxis. Boken riktar sig till forskare, praktiskt verksamma jurister, lagstiftare och rättstillämpare som intresserar sig för frågor som rör kreditgivning, finansiell reglering, förmögenhets- eller obeståndsrätt. Sara Göthlin är verksam vid Stockholm Centre for Commercial Law, Juridiska fakulteten, Stockholms universitet. Som tidigare advokat inom bank- och finansrätt har hon mångårig erfarenhet av att biträda svenska och utländska långivare och låntagare i samband med bland annat förvärvs- och fastighetsfinansieringar. Boken är hennes doktorsavhandling.

Avtalsrätt II är andra delen av en samlad framställning över den svenska allmänna avtalsrätten, men boken kan även läsas separat. Den utkom i en första upplaga 1967 och har sedan dess använts som lärobok. I den sjätte upplagan (2010) gick Lars Gorton in som medförfattare och i den nya sjunde upplagan har även Ola Svensson gått in som medförfattare. Medan Avtalsrätt I särskilt behandlar avtalsslut, fullmakt och ogiltighet, tar Avtalsrätt II upp den viktiga frågan om vad som ska gälla mellan parterna om avtalet är oklart eller ofullständigt. Avtalstolkning är en viktig del av denna verksamhet, utfyllning en annan. Framställningen blir belyst med hjälp av ett rikt urval av rättsfall. Både individuellt utformade avtal och standardavtal uppmärksammas. Boken bör vara till nytta inte bara i undervisningen utan även för praktiskt verksamma jurister.Den nya sjunde upplagan har genomgått en betydande ansiktslyftning. Detta gäller inte minst den mer omfattande beskrivningen av den objektiva tolkningen som vuxit fram i Högsta domstolens praxis under senare år. Även kapitlen om utfyllning och verkan av ändrade förhållanden är väsentligt utökade och förnyade. Övriga kapitel har också i vissa avseenden genomgått en betydande omarbetning och uppdatering. Kapitelindelningen är vidare ny och sidantalet har utökats väsentligt. Utöver att ny praxis fått en framträdande position har en uppdatering av rättslitteraturen skett.

I denna lärobok förklaras fullmaktsreglerna mot bakgrund av en redogörelse för den allmänna rättshandlingsläran. Läran om fullmakter utgör en väsentlig del av avtalsrätten. Trots det kan frågan om fullmakter framstå som besvärlig. Rättsläget har länge varit osäkert och flera olika förklaringsmodeller tävlar mot varandra. I denna bok ger Joel Samuelsson sin syn på vad som gäller i fråga om fullmakter i svensk rätt.
Avtalstolkning : tolkning av avtal och andra rättshandlingar på förmögenhetsrättens område
Kartonnage, Svenska, 2023
403 kr
Detta är en kombinerad handbok och lärobok om avtalstolkning. I stort sett saknas lagregler i ämnet. I boken systematiseras de regler och principer som används i domstolarna på ett pedagogiskt och klargörande sätt. Syftet är att underlätta såväl inlärningen som den praktiska användningen. Särskild vikt läggs vid de ändamål som motiverar och styr rättstillämpningen på området. Tolkning av avtal särhålls klart från utfyllning, som behandlas i ett särskilt kapitel. Den partsorienterade tolkningen, där endera partens avsikt eller intryck blir avgörande, hålls likaså klart isär från den uttrycksorienterade tolkningen, som fokuserar på parternas förklaringar, till exempel en kontraktstext. De olika perspektiv och kontextelement som beaktas vid tolkningen genomgås systematiskt. Framställningen av regler och principer illustreras med ett omfattande rättsfallsmaterial. Denna tionde upplaga är utvidgad och upptar bland annat ett flertal nya viktiga rättsfall. Bert Lehrberg är professor i civilrätt vid Uppsala universitet. Han har tidigare varit professor i bankrätt. Han är också skiljeman och konsult i affärsjuridiska frågor samt förestår utbildnings- och konsultföretaget Iusté.

Tolkningslärans gåta : en studie i avtalsrätt
Inbunden, Svenska, 2011
349 kr
Boken erbjuder en omtolkning av den rättsvetenskapliga grundfrågan på avtalstolkningens område och skisserar en alternativ avtalsrättslig tolkningslära. På vägen får åtskilliga av de enträgna problem som i modern tid plågat de rättsdogmatiska framställningarna i ämnet tentativt sin lösning. Författaren vill överhuvudtaget komma tillrätta med föreställningen att avtalstolkningsfrågorna är speciellt svåra på ett sätt som utmärker dem vid en jämförelse med andra civilrättsliga frågeställningar. Svårigheten följer med angreppsvinkeln, som är given av traditionen. Nu finns emellertid, efter vad författaren gör gällande, anledning att distansera sig från densamma, och att skifta angreppsvinkel. Och det skifte som här föreslås går, uttryckt med en enkel formel, ut på, att tolkningsläran skall förstås som en metodlära och inte som ett materiellt rättsområde. För tolkningen är en konst, som inte kan återföras på regler.

Can your employer require you to travel to India for a hip replacement as a condition of insurance coverage? If injury results, can you sue the doctor, hospital or insurer for medical malpractice in the country where you live? Can a country prohibit its citizens from helping a relative travel to Switzerland for assisted suicide? What about travel for abortion? In Patients with Passports, I. Glenn Cohen tackles these important questions, and provides the first comprehensive legal and ethical analysis of medical tourism. Medical tourism is a growing multi-billion dollar industry involving millions of patients who travel abroad each year to get health care. Some seek legitimate services like hip replacements and travel to avoid queues, save money, or because their insurer has given them an incentive to do so. Others seek to circumvent prohibitions on accessing services at home and go abroad to receive abortions, assisted suicide, commercial surrogacy, or experimental stem cell treatments. In this book, author I. Glenn Cohen focuses on patients traveling for cardiac bypass and other legal services to places like India, Thailand, and Mexico, and analyzes issues of quality of care, disease transmission, liability, private and public health insurance, and the effects of this trade on foreign health care systems. He goes on to examine medical tourism for services illegal in the patient's home country, such as organ purchase, abortion, assisted suicide, fertility services, and experimental stem cell treatments. Here, Cohen examines issues such as extraterritorial criminalization, exploitation, immigration, and the protection of children. Through compelling narratives, expert data, and industry explanations Patients with Passports enables the reader to connect with the most prevalent legal and ethical issues facing medical tourism today.
Legal Integration and Language Diversity
Rethinking Translation in EU Lawmaking

How can the European Union create laws that are uniform in a multitude of languages? Specifically, how can it attain both legal integration and language diversity simultaneously, without the latter compromising the former? C.J.W. Baaij argues that the answer lies in the domain of translation. A uniform interpretation and application of EU law begins with the ways in which translators and jurist-linguists of the EU legislative bodies translate the original legislative draft texts into the various language versions. In the European Union, law and language are inherently connected. The EU pursues legal integration, i.e. the incremental harmonization and unification of its Member States' laws, for the purpose of reducing national regulatory differences between Member States. However, in its commitment to the diversity of European languages, its legislative institutions enact legislative instruments in 24 languages. Language Diversity and Legal Integration assesses these seemingly incompatible policy objectives and contemporary translation practices in the EU legislative procedure, and proposes an alternative, source-oriented approach that better serves EU policy objectives. Contrary to the orthodox view in academic literature and to the current policies of the EU, this book suggests that the English language version should serve as the original and only authentic legislative text. Translation into the other language versions should furthermore avoid prioritizing clarity and fluency over syntactic correspondence and employ neologisms for distinctly EU legal concepts.Ultimately, Baaij provides practical solutions to the conflict between the equality of all language versions, and the need for uniform interpretation and application of EU law.

Though indeterminacy in legal texts is pervasive, there is a widespread misunderstanding about what indeterminacy is, particularly as it pertains to law. Legal texts present unique challenges insofar as they address a heterogeneous audience, are applied in a variety of unforeseeable circumstances and must, at the same time, lay down clear and unambiguous standards. Sometimes they fail to do so, however, either by accident or by intention. While many have claimed that indeterminacy facilitates flexibility and can be strategically used, few have recognized that there are more forms of indeterminacy than vagueness and ambiguity. A comprehensive account of legal indeterminacy is thus called for.David Lanius here answers that call and in so doing, addresses three central questions about the role of indeterminacy in the law. First, what are the sources of indeterminacy in law? Second, what effects do the different forms of indeterminacy have? Third, how can and should these forms be intentionally used? Based on a thorough examination of the advantages and disadvantages of the different forms of indeterminacy in the wording of laws, contracts, and verdicts, Lanius argues for the claim that semantic vagueness is less relevant than commonly supposed in the debate, while other forms of indeterminacy (in particular, polysemy and standard-relativity) are mistakenly underrated or even ignored. This misconception is due to a systematic confusion between semantic vagueness and these other forms of indeterminacy. Once it is resolved, the value and functions of linguistic indeterminacy in the law can be clearly shown.

This fourth edition is an authority on the construction of contracts. It uniquely encompasses all the principal techniques by which the meaning and effect of agreements are ascertained: the interpretation of express language, the implication of terms, and the rectification of documents. The general principles of interpretation and the implication of terms implied in fact-or gap-fillers-have been relatively settled in the period since the last edition. Meanwhile terms implied in law, or general default rules, have come to the forefront in a sequence of Supreme Court judgments, including Wells v Devani, Triple Point Technology Inc v PTT, Barton v Morris, and Philipp v Barclays Bank, which have emphasized their role in providing transactional templates and setting minimum standards. Likewise, this edition explores the changes to the principles of common mistake rectification, analysing the impact of the Court of Appeal in FSHC Group Holdings v Glas Trust, and the Supreme Court in RMT v Nexus.The fourth edition further explores how the contra proferentem principle has become unfashionable in the eyes of English judges, and has been superseded by the more muscular clear words principle, in respect of exemption clauses, force majeure, and more generally. Brand new chapters discuss restriction of variation ('no oral modification') clauses, in the wake of MWB v Rock Advertising, and dispute resolution agreements, after Enka v Chubb. The text addresses cases that emerged in the context of Brexit, the Covid-19 pandemic, and renewed international conflicts and the accompanying sanctions. McMeel on the Construction of Contracts continues to be an essential reference work for commercial and corporate lawyers, both litigators and those negotiating and drafting deals, as well as the judges who rule on cases pertaining to contracts.
Justifying Contract in Europe
Political Philosophies of European Contract Law

This title explores the normative foundations of European contract law. It addresses fundamental political questions on contract law in Europe from the perspective of leading contemporary political theories. Does the law of contract need a democratic basis? To what extent should it be Europeanised? What justifies the binding force of contract and the main remedies for breach? When should weaker parties be protected? Should market transactions be considered legally void when they are immoral? Which rules of contract law should the parties be free to opt out of? Adopting a critical lens, this book interrogates utilitarian, liberal-egalitarian, libertarian, communitarian, civic republican, and discourse-theoretical political philosophies and analyses the answers they provide to these questions. It also situates these theoretical debates within the context of the political landscape of European contract law and the divergent views expressed by lawmakers, legal academics, and other stakeholders. This work moves beyond the acquis positivism, market reductionism, and private law essentialism that tend to dominate these conversations and foregrounds normative complexity. It explores the principles and values behind various arguments used in the debates on European contract law and its future to highlight the normative stakes involved in the practical question of what we, as a society, should do about contract law in Europe. In so doing, it opens up democratic space for the consideration of alternative futures for contract law in the European Union, and for better justifications for those parts of the EU contract law acquis we wish to retain.

The contributions to this edited volume engage with John Gardner's philosophical work on private law. The content is divided into three parts. The first part gathers contributions on general theoretical issues that bear upon private law. The second part is concerned with Gardner's well-known views on responding to wrongs and the justification of reparative duties - an issue that spans all of private law. The third part turns to theoretical issues within particular areas of private law. Its focus is Gardner's focus: tort law, but it also includes chapters on contract law and equity.The primary aim of Private Law and Practical Reason is to facilitate a critical assessment of the private law thinking of one of the most important legal philosophers of the last fifty years. Gardner's contributions to private law theory are recognised to be amongst the most significant and philosophically rich. This work assembles a group of contributors with diverse theoretical commitments, many of whom have not directly engaged previously with Gardner's work, and is intended to act as a reference point for central debates in private law theory, such as the role of moral duties, the justification of reparative obligations, and, more broadly, the role of reasons in private law.

Smart Legal Contracts: Computable Law in Theory and Practice is a landmark investigation into one of the most important trends at the interface of law and technology: the effort to harness emerging digital technologies to change the way that parties form and perform contracts. While developments in distributed ledger technology have brought the topic of 'smart contracts' into the mainstream of legal attention, this volume takes a broader approach to ask how computers can be used in the contracting process. This book assesses how contractual promises are expressed in software and how code-based artefacts can be incorporated within more conventional legal structures. With incisive contributions from members of the judiciary, legal scholars, practitioners, and computer scientists, this book sets out to frame the borders of an emerging area of law and start a more productive dialogue between the various disciplines involved in the evolution of contracts as software. It provides the first step towards a more disciplined approach to computational contracts that avoids the techno-legal ambiguities of 'smart contracts' and reveals an emerging taxonomy of approaches to encoding contracts in whole or in part. Conceived and written during a time when major legal systems began to engage with the advent of contracts in computable form, and aimed at a fundamental level of enquiry, this collection will provide essential insight into future trends and will provide a point of orientation for future scholarship and innovation.

Studies in the Contract Laws of Asia provides an authoritative account of the contract law regimes of selected Asian jurisdictions, including the major centres of commerce where limited critical commentaries have been published in the English language. Each volume in the series aims to offer an insider's perspective into specific areas of contract law - remedies, formation, parties, contents, vitiating factors, change of circumstances, illegality, and public policy - and explores how these diverse jurisdictions address common problems encountered in contractual disputes. A concluding chapter draws out the convergences and divergences, and other themes. All the Asian jurisdictions examined have inherited or adopted the common law or civil law models of European legal systems. Scholars of legal transplant will find a mine of information on how received law has developed after the initial adaptation and transplant process, including the mechanisms of and influences affecting these developments. At the same time, many points of convergence emerge. These provide good starting points for regional harmonization projects.Volume IV of Studies in the Contract Laws of Asia deals with factors affecting the validity of contracts (mistake, fraud, misrepresentation, coercion, and unfair exploitation) in the laws of China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.Typically, each jurisdiction is covered in two chapters; the first deals with erroneous beliefs, while the second deals with reprehensible conduct of one of the contracting parties.

The law enables private parties to undo the wrongs committed against them, allowing victims to seek redress. A distinctive kind of justice governs our legal rights of redress, different from the leading corrective justice approaches. Through analysis of this key idea, The Right of Redress helps to make sense of tort, contract, fiduciary law, and unjust enrichment doctrine.When a wrong is remedied, the authorship of that remedy matters. The justice in private law is sensitive to a right holder's authorship, and understanding how solves a number of legal theory puzzles. Many forms of redress are only available with state assistance, and a full account of private law requires an account of the state's responsibility to assist. It also requires an explanation of those cases in which the state declines to assist. Prior accounts have drawn on Kantian principles or a Lockean social contract theory, where The Right of Redress, drawing on public fiduciary theory, develops a distinctive account of the state's role.This book offers a new take on various modern features of the private law landscape, ranging from equity, to damage caps, to arbitration, to corporate claims, to class actions. The Right of Redress thus offers a pathbreaking account of the justice in private law, the political theory that underlies it, and the contemporary features that shape our rights of redress today.

This timely new work provides a thorough overview, analysis, and discussion of standard terms control for banking and financial contracts in Europe. Unfair Terms in Banking and Financial Contracts argues that this sector uniquely necessitates unfair terms control, due to the asymmetrical relationship between lay consumers and the financial industry and discusses the role of the judiciary in addressing this imbalance. The rise of unfair terms control as a remedy for consumers and businesses against financial institutions with superior bargaining power has led to questions about the Directive's threat to existing contracts. Disputes have already arisen across Europe in several areas including foreign currency housing loans, housing loans based on Euribor, and hidden bank fees. These disputes and their outcomes are high stakes for banks and their customers. The stakes of the outcomes of these disputes for the customers as well as for the banks are very high.The book focuses on the EU Unfair Terms Directive (UTD) but also considers the law of non-EU jurisdictions. Beginning with an overview of the UTD and the extensive case law of the CJEU, the volume brings together leading authorities in the field of financial law to provide analyses of the UTD's application in this sector across 15 EU jurisdictions (Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, The Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Greece, Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Estonia). It then goes on to compare the legal situation in three non-EU jurisdictions (United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Norway).Locating unfair terms control within a broader European struggle to balance the power of market forces and the requirements of social justice, the volume offers a critique of the existing regime and concludes with a proposal for a common legal framework to ensure a level playing field and greater harmonisation across the EU.

In the wake of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, misconduct and unfair contract terms in financial services contracts triggered a wave of litigation before national courts. Litigation did not remain a national law issue but soon became an EU law issue. National courts sought, through the preliminary reference procedure, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU)'s guidance to interpret EU financial services legislation and determine the scope of consumers' rights and private law remedies vis-à-vis financial service providers (FSPs).The high number of CJEU's rulings have significantly innovated numerous EU and national private law rules on financial services contracts. The CJEU has often expanded consumers' private law remedies, based on general principles of EU law, beyond the letter of the law, thus 'creating' new private law principles for these contracts. This book provides the first comprehensive and systematic analysis of the rapidly evolving and complex CJEU case law on retail credit, payment, and investment services contracts. It extensively discusses the rationales of the CJEU's judgments and gives guidance on the role of general principles of EU law in the CJEU's reasoning. This volume identifies emerging principles of private law which should apply across credit, payment, and investment services contracts. Building on this analysis, the work provides an assessment of the significant legal and policy implications of the CJEU case law on national and EU private law.
