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.

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.

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.

Comparative Reflections in Private Law celebrates the scholarly legacy of Professor Simon Whittaker, whose work has left a profound mark on the field of comparative law. Reflecting the breadth and depth of his influence, the volume brings together leading scholars to explore central themes in private law from a comparative perspective. The volume is split into three distinct parts. The first part of the volume focuses on contract law, examining topics ranging from defects in the formation of a contract, interpretation, illegality, the doctrine of change of circumstances, and remedies. These chapters reflect Whittaker's commitment to doctrinal precision, analytical depth, and the value of comparative law as a means of understanding other legal traditions and re-examining one's own with a fresh perspective. The second part turns to tort law, with contributions exploring topics such as the role of violation of a right, the concept of foreseeability, the justifications for the non-recoverability of pure economic loss, and the treatment of illegality in product liability. These essays engage critically with fundamental concepts while also offering comparative insights into the functions and structure of tort law, an approach that reflects Whittaker's distinctive ability to draw deep connections between legal systems, both in their doctrinal rules and in the principles and goals that underpin them. The final part of the volume turns to private law intersections, addressing challenges that cut across traditional boundaries, such as the doctrine of the subsidiarity of unjustified enrichment and the difficulty of devising harmonized contract law in the European Union from the plurality of laws and languages of the Member States. Taken together, the contributions included in this volume highlight the distinctive blend of intellectual rigour, curiosity, and openness to both tradition and innovation, which has so distinctively characterized Simon Whittaker's scholarship.

Den här boken ger en initierad översikt av den svenska avtals-rätten, vilken fokuserar på de grundläggande frågor som är av störst vikt för möjligheten att förstå och tillämpa de avtalsrätts-liga reglerna. Till dessa hör regelstrukturen, begreppen, systema-tiken och värderingarna. Den grundläggande åtskillnad som görs mellan avtalsrättens olika delar – avtalsslut, avtalstolkning och ogiltighet – och samspelet mellan dessa förklaras och utvecklas. Viljeförklaringsbegreppets och rättshandlingsbegreppets inne-börd analyseras ingående i ett praktiskt perspektiv. Innebörden av de avtalsrättsliga reglerna och begreppen utveck-las mot denna bakgrund på ett motsägelsefritt, pedagogiskt och klargörande sätt. Det gör boken till ett ovärderligt hjälpmedel såväl för studenten som för praktikern. Bakom boken ligger 30 års forskning, mestadels inom ramen för forskningsprojektet Den nya avtalsrätten. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Tolkningslärans gåta : en studie i avtalsrätt
Inbunden, Svenska, 2011
320 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.

The riveting tale of how the wanabee aristo Conrad Black and his social-mountaineering wife Barbara gulled their way into the City, the Tory party, Wall Street and High Society. This new paperback edition will be fully updated to include details of Black’s high-profile trial for corporate fraud, sure to claim international attention.The rise and fall of the media tycoon Conrad Black is rivalled in its spectacular extravagance only by the machinations of his social-mountaineering wife, Barbara Amiel. Together their story of overweening ambition and greed is a modern-day classic of hubris.There is no bolder or better-informed chronicler of the follies of the rich and powerful than Tom Bower. Fearless in the approach which has brought him accolades for his gripping exposés of Robert Maxwell, Tiny Rowland, Mohammed Fayed and Richard Branson, Bower reveals how the Blacks financed a billionaire’s lifestyle and won friends and influence in London and New York.Born into considerable wealth in Canada, Conrad Black bought and sold (but never effectively managed) several businesses, from mining and tractors to broadcasting companies and newspapers. In 1985 he bought the Telegraph group in London, where very little was known of the controversy over his past financial dealings.In 1992 he married Barbara Amiel, who later famously said, `I have an extravagance that knows no bounds’. Besotted with his wife, he began living way beyond his means. Fabulous parties, jewellery, clothes, private jets and homes followed. In 2003 an independent report in America accused him of `outright fraud’, `ethical corruption’ and `corporate kleptocracy’ – allegations that he will vigorously deny at his trial in Chicago in 2007. This edition will be updated to include the full story of the trial in all its sensational detail.Tom Bower’s book, based on over 150 interviews with bankers, politicians, celebrities, power-brokers and close friends, is packed with intimate revelations. It is a hugely entertaining account of gullibility in high places.

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.

If a dispute between commercial parties reaches the stage of arbitration, the cause is usually ambiguous contract terms. The arbitrator often resolves the dispute by applying trade usages, either to interpret the ambiguous terms or to determine what the given contract''s terms really are. This recourse to trade usages does not create many problems on the domestic level. However, international arbitrations are far more complex and confusing.Trade Usages and Implied Terms in the Age of Arbitration provides a clear explanation of how usages, and more generally the implicit or implied content of international commercial contracts, are approached by some of the most influential legal systems in the world. Building on these approaches and taking account of arbitral practice, this book explores possible conceptual frameworks to help shape the emerging transnational law of trade usage. Part I covers the treatment and conceptual grounding of usages and implied terms in the positive law of influential jurisdictions. Part II defines the approach to usages and implied terms adopted in the design and implementation of important uniform law instruments dealing with international business contracts, as well as in the practice of international commercial arbitration. Part III concludes the book with an outline of what the conceptual grounding of trade usages could be in the transnational law of commercial contracts.

Contract as Promise is a study of the philosophical foundations of contract law in which Professor Fried effectively answers some of the most common assumptions about contract law and strongly proposes a moral basis for it while defending the classical theory of contract. This book provides two purposes regarding the complex legal institution of the contract. The first is the theoretical purpose to demonstrate how contract law can be traced to and is determined by a small number of basic moral principles. At the theory level the author shows that contract law does have an underlying, and unifying structure. The second is a pedagogic purpose to provide for students the underlying structure of contract law. At this level of doctrinal exposition the author shows that structure can be referred to moral principles. Together the two purposes support each other in an effective and comprehensive study of contract law.This second edition retains the original text, and includes a new Preface. It also includes a substantial new essay entitled Contract as Promise in the Light of Subsequent Scholarship--Especially Law and Economics which serves as a retrospective of the work accomplished in the last thirty years, while responding to present and future work in the field.

Most people fight over something or other and language is usually at the very center of the conflict. Often the way we use language is the cause of the battle. There are many areas in which fighting about language can be observed but civil law cases offer the most fertile examples of this warfare over words. What did the contract actually say? Was there deception in the advertising? Was the warning label clear and effective? Did the company evidence race or age discrimination against employees or customers? Was one company''s name too similar to that of another company? Did the corporation plagiarize the work of another? Did it fraudulently represent what its work? This book is about the ways linguistic analysis describes, exposes, and aids disputes in 18 civil cases where language framed the battleground. Roger Shuy, a well-known forensic linguist and consultant, shows how the skills of linguistic analysis can help resolve disputed meanings, while also showing how civil cases can prove to be fertile ground for linguistic scholarship. He does this by collecting and analyzing cases involving contracts, trademark disputes, advertisements, product liability, copyright infringement, discrimination, trademark disputes, and fraud controversies. In each case he employs all the tools of formal linguistics to show how it can be as helpful as other physical sciences in resolving legal disagreements. The work will be of interest primarily to linguists -- sociolinguists, forensic linguists, and scholars and students of law and society -- as well as lawyers and law students.

The Oxford Handbook of Fiduciary Law provides a comprehensive overview of critical topics in fiduciary law and theory through chapters authored by leading scholars. The Handbook opens with surveys of the many fields of law in which fiduciary duties arise, including agency law, trust law, corporate law, pension law, bankruptcy law, family law, employment law, legal representation, health care, and international law. Drawing on these surveys, the Handbook offers a synthetic analysis of fiduciary law''s key concepts and principles.Chapters in the Handbook explore the defining features of fiduciary relationships, clarify the distinctive fiduciary duties that arise in these relationships, and identify the remedies available for breach of fiduciary duties. The volume also provides numerous comparative perspectives on fiduciary law from eminent legal historians and from scholars with deep expertise in a diverse array of the world''s legal systems. Finally, the Handbook lays the groundwork for future research on fiduciary law and theory by highlighting cross-cutting themes, identifying persistent theoretical and practical challenges, and exploring how the field could be enriched through empirical analysis and interdisciplinary insights from economics, philosophy, and psychology.Unparalleled in its breadth and depth of coverage, The Oxford Handbook of Fiduciary Law represents an invaluable resource for practitioners, policymakers, scholars, and students in this essential field of law.

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.

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.

The Oxford Handbook of Fiduciary Law provides a comprehensive overview of critical topics in fiduciary law and theory through chapters authored by leading scholars. The Handbook opens with surveys of the many fields of law in which fiduciary duties arise, including agency law, trust law, corporate law, pension law, bankruptcy law, family law, employment law, legal representation, health care, and international law. Drawing on these surveys, the Handbook offers a synthetic analysis of fiduciary law''s key concepts and principles.Chapters in the Handbook explore the defining features of fiduciary relationships, clarify the distinctive fiduciary duties that arise in these relationships, and identify the remedies available for breach of fiduciary duties. The volume also provides numerous comparative perspectives on fiduciary law from eminent legal historians and from scholars with deep expertise in a diverse array of the world''s legal systems. Finally, the Handbook lays the groundwork for future research on fiduciary law and theory by highlighting cross-cutting themes, identifying persistent theoretical and practical challenges, and exploring how the field could be enriched through empirical analysis and interdisciplinary insights from economics, philosophy, and psychology.Unparalleled in its breadth and depth of coverage, The Oxford Handbook of Fiduciary Law represents an invaluable resource for practitioners, policymakers, scholars, and students in this essential field of law.
