These institutions form the core of the Law of Obligations, which is examined in this book from the perspective of all major legal traditions including Civil, Common, Islamic and Chinese law.

International Arbitration in Portugal
Parties to cross-border disputes arising anywhere in the vast Portuguese-speaking world – a community of more than 230 million in a space that offers a wide array of investment opportunities across four continents – increasingly seek Portugal as their preferred seat of arbitration. A signatory to all relevant international conventions, Portugal has proven to be an ‘arbitration-friendly’ jurisdiction. This volume is the first and so far only book in English that provides a thorough, in-depth analysis of international arbitration law and practice in Portugal. Its contributing authors are among the most highly regarded legal names in the country, including scholars, arbitrators, and pra...
Legal Aspects of Autonomous Systems
As computational power, the volume of available data, IT systems’ autonomy, and the human-like capabilities of machines increase, robots and AI systems have substantial and growing implications for the law and raise a host of challenges to current legal doctrines. The main question to be answered is whether the foundations and general principles of private law and criminal law offer a functional and adaptive legal framework for the “autonomous systems” phenomena. The main purpose of this book is to identify and explore possible trajectories for the development of civil and criminal liability; for our understanding of the attribution link to autonomous systems; and, in particular, for t...
Politics and Policies in the Debate on Euthanasia
This book analyses the political and public debates about euthanasia in Portugal. Utilising petitions submitted to Parliament, legislative bills, parliamentary debates, opinion articles in newspapers, and documents published by the Catholic Church, it examines this sensitive issue through the theoretical lens of morality politics. It does so by studying the process of political dispute between advocacy coalitions formed by political parties and societal actors. This is the first book to comprehensively analyse a morality issue in Portugal, a predominantly Catholic country that has taken an innovative and liberal stance on many morality issues over the last two decades. It will appeal to students and scholars of sociology, political science, public policy and bioethics, as well as policymakers and other interest groups.
Families and New Media
The open access edited volume addresses children’s rights and their ability to act in the digital world. The focus is on the position of children as subjects with their own rights and developing capacities. Their consideration by parents, courts and legislators is critically examined. Aspects of digital parenting, especially educational practices and strategies in the context of social media, are analyzed with regard to the tension between protection and participation of children. The edited volume brings debates on privacy and data protection together with those from tort, family and intellectual property law, while also examining the role of families and children in the regulation of data and digital economies, especially online platforms. Legal reflections from Germany, Israel, Portugal and the United States of America are complemented by perspectives from media studies, political science, educational science and sociology of law.
Tort Liability and Autonomous Systems Accidents
Autonomous systems driven by artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have significant potential for increased productivity and improved safety in many sectors, but it is inevitable that some accidents will occur. The law needs an adequate way to respond to these scenarios and compensate those wrongfully injured. This comprehensive book examines the unique difficulties that autonomous systems create for existing accident compensation systems founded on tort, and proposes solutions.
Estudos a Propósito da Responsabilidade Objetiva
Resultando da conjugação de alguns dos tópicos fundamentais abordados no seminário especializado de doutoramento «A Realização do Direito na Responsabilidade Objetiva», que a Autora orienta na Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de Coimbra, a presente obra pretende dotar «a comunidade académica, em particular, e a comunidade jurídica, em geral, de um leque de reflexões que, tendo como ponto de partida considerações atinentes à responsabilidade independente de culpa, nos permitem questionar o futuro da responsabilidade civil enquanto instituto do direito civil. Aspetos como a articulação da responsabilidade objetiva com os diversos pressupostos de procedência de uma pretensão indemnizatória, a ponderação das finalidades do ressarcimento, ou a problematização dos fundamentos da imputação delitual são questionados, munindo-nos dos instrumentos necessários para fazer face a um dos desafios que a dogmática civilística enfrenta atualmente: saber até que ponto é ou não desejável a concretização de uma ampla cláusula de responsabilidade civil assente no risco».
Danos
Conscientes das dificuldades práticodogmáticas que algumas hipóteses juridicamente relevantes suscitam no âmbito do dano, da responsabilidade civil e da reparação, Mafalda Miranda Barbosa propõese refletir sobre estes temas tendo como pano de fundo «uma perspetiva personalista da responsabilidade civil, isto é, um entendimento do instituto obrigacionista que o funda na ideia maior de responsabilidade, alicerçada na pessoalidade livre e responsável, e um modelo delitual assente numa compreensão imputacional».
Restituição do Lucro Ilícito pela Violação de Direitos de Personalidade
Na sociedade hodierna, a consulta de meios de informação e comunicação encontra-se cada vez mais facilitada. Os vários meios de comunicação viram-se cada vez mais para um objetivo de obtenção de lucros. Para cumprirem esse objetivo, procuram ir ao encontro da curiosidade do público, lançando notícias violadoras de direitos de personalidade, normalmente de figuras públicas, de modo a aumentarem as suas vendas. Muitas vezes, estes órgãos atuam tendo em conta um raciocínio de cariz estritamente económico: se chegarem à conclusão de que um determinado comportamento irá gerar um lucro, as condutas que forem necessárias para a obtenção do mesmo não são excluídas. Segue-se aqui a máxima de "o lucro compensa". Esta Dissertação procura analisar se existe no ordenamento jurídico português um instituto apto e adequado para retirar ao agente o lucro obtido ilicitamente pela violação de direitos de personalidade. Para tanto, irá dialogar com institutos clássicos como a responsabilidade civil, a gestão de negócios e o enriquecimento sem causa.
