Detta rättsvetenskapliga verk erbjuder en lättöverskådlig inblick i den svenska stiftelserätten med fokus på de civilrättsligt relevanta delarna av stiftelsen och dess liv. Det centrala regelverket är stiftelselagen och i boken behandlas frågor om stiftelsebildning, stiftelsernas förvaltning, ändring och upplösning samt sanktionssystem. Utöver de civilrättsliga reglerna behandlas även stiftelselagens bestämmelser av offentligrättslig karaktär, bland annat om registrering och myndighetstillsyn. För att ge en komplett bild presenteras även en översikt av relevanta inkomstskatterättsliga och redovisningsrättsliga regler för stiftelser.
Boken riktar sig primärt till dels de som bedriver akademiska studier av stiftelserätten, dels till styrelseledamöter och förvaltare, samt juridiska och ekonomiska rådgivare som erbjuder sina tjänster till stiftelser. Förhoppningen är emellertid att alla som kommer i kontakt med stiftelser ska finna värde i denna kunskapskälla.

Börsrätt är ett allmänt begrepp för regleringen av värdepappersmarknaden. I Sverige började börsrätten utvecklas i samband med EU-inträdet i mitten av 1990-talet. Under senare år har den genomgått en omfattande och snabb förändring. Utvecklingen betingas bland annat av de många EU-rättsliga direktiv och förordningar som successivt arbetas fram, globaliseringen av värdepappersmarknaden, finansmarknadens kriser samt finansiell och teknisk innovation.För alla som på något sätt utsätts för den massiva utvecklingen på värdepappersmarknaden söker denna bok åstadkomma en sammanhållen plattform av information som utgångspunkt för praktisk tillämpning och utbildning. Läsaren får i denna femte upplaga såväl en uppdaterad presentation av de aktuella regelverken som en god inblick i praktik och systematik, genom bidrag från experter verksamma på värdepappersmarknaden. Exempel på börsrättsliga områden som beskrivs är:• notering, emissioner och prospekt• kontoföring, clearing och avveckling• information, insynspersoners rapportering och flaggning• tillsyn, övervakning och sanktioner• investerarskydd och minoritetsskydd• offentliga uppköpserbjudanden• återköp och incitamentsprogram • bolagsstyrning och hållbarhetsrapportering.Börsrätt vänder sig till ledande befattningshavare på börsbolag, advokater, revisorer, bolagsjurister och rådgivare som kommer i kontakt med börsrättsliga frågor samt till studerande på specialkurser på juristutbildningar, finansiell ekonomi och affärsjuridiska program.

This comprehensive book provides a clear analysis of the main features of the European Insolvency Regulation 2015/848, within the context of previous EU initiatives, as well as addressing the contrasting objectives of universalism and territorialism which underpin cross border insolvency law. It measures the EU regulations against the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross Border Insolvency and compares this with how the Model Law has been implemented elsewhere, such as in the US and the UK.Taking an accessible approach, Gerard McCormack examines key aspects of the regulations such as the opening of main and secondary insolvency proceedings, as well as applicable law and special rules in respect of security rights, rights in rem, transactional avoidance and set-off rights. Chapters also cover recognition of the opening of insolvency proceedings and of insolvency and related judgements, interactions between mean and secondary proceedings, the role of insolvency practitioners and courts, and the treatment of creditors.EU Insolvency Law will be critical reading for lawyers working in insolvency law, as well as other insolvency practitioners such as accountants. It will also be of interest to academics and students in the field, as well as policy makers in the EU and elsewhere, including national officials.

Boken vänder sig både till fritidsbåtfolk som inte måste ha någon formell behörighet innefattande sjörättsutbildning och till de som yrkesmässigt, med obligatorisk examen och behörighet upp till fartygsbefäl klass VII, ska framföra båtar och skepp. När olyckor eller tillbud till sjöss inträffat kan de som har agerat vårdslöst eller varit passiva ställas till ansvar. Detta gäller även om det inte krävts att personen/personerna skulle ha haft formell examen och behörighet för uppgifter ombord. På de som yrkesmässigt ombord – och i vissa fall även iland för fartygets drift – utför uppgifter, ställer myndigheterna krav som ofta innefattar både examen och praktik. Ambitionen med boken är dels att behandla vad alla med uppgifter av betydelse för sjösäkerheten bör känna till och dels att orientera läsarna om de inte sällan svåröverskådliga regelverk som anger skyldigheter och ansvar vid sjöfart med skepp och båtar i yrkesverksamhet eller på fritid. I boken ingår avsnitt som uppmärksammar läsarna på gränsdragningarna mellan olika kategorier av fartyg. Kunskap om detta behövs för att undgå att ovetandes dra på sig ansvar t.ex. genom att i en fritidsbåt ta med så många passagerare att reglerna om passagerarfartyg blir tillämpliga. Boken behandlar även administrativa regler och uppgifter som myndigheterna lägger på i synnerhet yrkesutövande sjöfolk. Rolf Ihre utbildade sig ursprungligen till sjökapten men omskolade sig till jurist. Han arbetade därefter som bolagsjurist inom rederikoncernen Salén och senare som advokat med inriktning på kommersiell sjöfart och fritidsbåtsfrågor. Rolf har även givit ut flera böcker, bl.a. Kommersiella sjöfartsavtal, och har sedan 1970-talet undervisat i sjörätt och angränsande frågor. Daniel Lindefors är legitimerad lärare och har i drygt 20 år undervisat blivande fartygsbefäl på Marina läroverket i kurser kring behörighet och sjövärdighet. Daniel har också under många år arbetat med säkerhets- och sjövärdighetsfrågor inom Marina läroverkets rederiverksamhet

"Business Law 10/e" has provided students with a comprehensive, yet concise treatment of the legal issues of fundamental importance to business students and the business profession. The cases, which have always been a strong feature, are edited and re-written by the authors, who divide the material into three categories: facts, issues, decisions. The authors, Barnes, Dworkin, and Richards, choose cases that are appropriate to explain precedent and history as well as include "hot topic" cases that relate to current events. In addition to case applications, the authors use such techniques as content summaries to apply concepts to practice. Effective managers and employees must develop knowledge of both law and business because people involved in business also are involved in, and greatly affected by, the laws concerning business.

This is a practitioner's guide to today's most effective asset protection strategies. Shielding assets isn't easy to do in our increasingly litigious society. Yet all too often, business owners and high-net-worth individuals find it more difficult to protect their financial interests from unregulated "asset protection planners" than from the courts - and find themselves losing heavily to both."Asset Protection" details today's most successful, legitimate, and court-proven strategies for protecting one's assets. Taking a unique, all-encompassing approach that minimizes complex legalese to focus on easy-to-understand, effective asset-shielding practices and techniques, this timely book discusses: the goals of asset protection, along with steps for implementing an effective asset protection program; traditional as well as new techniques - what they are, how they work, when and how to use them; the vital relationship between asset protection and financial planning, and how to design one umbrella program to address both. "Asset Protection" delivers a welcome dose of common sense and legitimacy to a field top-heavy with gimmickry and dishonesty.Written by two of today's top legal asset protection experts, it provides you with frank, pull-no-punches details on how to do everything under the law to shield assets from harm in an unpredictable and financially perilous world.For professionals, business owners, and high net worth individuals, the danger in leaving assets vulnerable to the whims of courts and claimants is higher today than at any time in the past. And while seminar speakers often refer to "bulletproof" asset protection strategies, experienced asset protection planners know that no program or method exists that is effective in every situation - because as soon as a strategy is proven effective the attempts to undermine it will begin in earnest."Asset Protection" is today's most level-headed and technique-based look at how asset protection planning should be approached, both by the finance practitioner and the individual. It presents tools that have worked while warning against means that are inappropriate or even perilous, and provides guidelines for developing effective strategies that will work in both macro (broad) and micro (specific) situations.Written by two of today's most experienced and authoritative asset protection attorneys, this results-driven book provides a detailed, objective look at all vital aspects of the asset protection picture: Trusts - what they are, what they aren't, which to implement; and when Bankruptcy law - including pre-bankruptcy planning tactics; Fraudulent transfers - and the confusion underlying the Uniform Fraudulent Transfers Act (UFTA); Offshore planning - how to make it financially effective, tax-compliant, and judicious asset exemption options; and the limits of exempt asset status.In addition, "Asset Protection" also goes beyond other books of its type to explore the issue of morality in asset protection, and how actions that are seemingly right under the law can still lead to defeat in the courtroom. It provides different scenarios to illustrate how moral dilemmas can impact judges and juries, and discusses how to address these situations - or, better yet, keep them from ever reaching the courtroom. The future of asset protection is being written even as you read these words. Get the inside story on strategies for shielding assets both today and in the future, from everything from lawsuits and the IRS to creditors and even outright scams, in the comprehensive and indispensable "Asset Protection".

The assessment and management of risk to society from the operation of chemical process plants and other industrial activities in which dangerous substances are produced, used, handled or stored will remain a topic of great importance in the next decade. In order to evaluate this specific risk on a qualitative and/or quantitative basis, the concepts of risk analyses are linked together in this book.The "performance based" and "goal oriented" regulatory requirements of the European Council''s new "Seveso II Directive" for the identification of large scale industrial hazards, prevention of sudden and uncontrolled releases of dangerous substances from industrial plants and mitigation of serious consequences of industrial accidents to people and the environment are examined. The fact that risk assessment and management are key elements to such forms of regulation is also demonstrated.While the "Seveso II Directive" defines "what" has to be achieved on the control of major hazards involving dangerous substances within the European Union, the methods of risk assessment and management give guidance on "how" to achieve it. The text provides a practical guide for decision-makers in regulatory bodies and companies with a non-technical background. Scientists and engineers who are not yet familiar with the concepts of risk assessment and who want a survey of some fundamentals of, and principal results from, risk assessment studies and approaches primarily for applications in the context defined by the "Seveso Directives" will also find this book invaluable.

This book exposes a migration of business practices, players, and norms into philanthropy that strains the regulatory regime sustaining public trust in elite generosity through accountability and transparency and proposes legal reforms and private solutions to restore it.Practices, players, and norms native to the business sector have migrated into philanthropy, shattering longstanding barriers between commerce and charity. Philanthropies organized as limited liability companies, donor-advised funds sponsored by investment company giants, and strategic corporate philanthropy programs aligning charitable giving by multinationals with their business objectives paint a startling new picture of elite giving. In For-Profit Philanthropy, Dana Brakman Reiser and Steven A. Dean reveal that philanthropy law has long operated as strategic compromise, binding ordinary Americans and elites together in a common purpose. At its center stands the private foundation. The authors show how the foundation neatly combines donor autonomy with a regulatory framework to elevate the public's voice. This framework compels foundations to spend a small but meaningful portion of the assets their elite donors have pledged to the public each year. Prophylactic restrictions separate foundations from their funders' business and political interests. And foundations must disclose more about the sources and uses of their assets than any other business or charity. The philanthropic innovations increasingly espoused by America's most privileged individuals and powerful companies prioritize donor autonomy and privacy, casting aside the foundation and the tools it provides elites to demonstrate their good faith. By threatening to displace impactful charity with hollow virtue signaling, these actions also jeopardize the public's faith in the generosity of those at the top. Private ordering, targeted regulation, or a new strategic bargain could strike a modern balance, preserving the benefits of the compromise between the modest and the mighty. For-Profit Philanthropy offers a detailed roadmap to show how it can be accomplished.

Economic debates about markets and freedom from the late 1940s onwards focused increasingly on how laws and regulation affected economic behavior, and how economics influenced legal decision-making. By the late 1950s the term "law and economics" came into use to refer to the application of economic analysis to legal problems. The overlap between legal and political systems also led to issues in law and economics being raised in political economy, constitutional economics, and political science. Concepts in Law and Economics: A Guide for the Curious provides a comprehensive integration of the fields of law and economics. In clear prose, Jim Leitzel challenges traditional approaches to law and economics and uncovers common themes that cut across the two fields, providing readers with a means of integrating their knowledge to examine problems through both a legal and economic lens. This book covers the major methods of law and economics and applies those methods to various issues, including art vandalism, sales of human kidneys, and the ownership of meteorites. Compact yet comprehensive, this is an ideal introduction to a vast number of concepts and controversies in the fields of law and economics. Economics students, law students, and those with a general interest in the social sciences will find Concepts in Law and Economics an interesting and engaging read, and will emerge with the necessary skills for thinking like a law and economics practitioner.

Patents are ubiquitous in contemporary life. Practically everything we use incorporates one or more patented inventions, and recent years have witnessed epic disputes over such matters as the patenting of human genes, the control of smartphone design and technology, the marketing of patented drugs, and the conduct of "patent trolls" accused of generating revenue from nuisance litigation. But what exactly is a patent? Why do governments grant them? Can patents simultaneously encourage new invention, while limiting monopoly and other abuses? In Patent Wars, Thomas Cotter, one of America's leading patent law scholars, offers an accessible, lively, and up-to-date examination of the current state of patent law, showing how patents affect everything from the food we eat to the cars we drive to the devices that entertain and inform us. Beginning with a general overview of patent law and litigation, the book addresses such issues as the patentability of genes, medical procedures, software, and business methods; the impact of drug patents and international treaties on the price of health care; trolls; and the smartphone wars. Taking into account both the benefits and costs that patents impose on society, Cotter highlights the key issues in current debates and explores what still remains unknown about the effect of patents on innovation. An essential one-volume analysis of the topic, Patent Wars explains why patent laws exist in the first place and how we can make the system better.
