Rosalie Koolhoven behandelt das niederländische Bereicherungsrecht anhand der Voraussetzungen des Artikels 6:212 des niederländischen Bürgerlichen Gesetzbuches, in dem der Schadensersatzanspruch im Mittelpunkt steht. Die offene Norm des Bereicherungsrechts zählt zu den undurchsichtigsten Kapiteln des Schuldrechts, insbesondere weil das Verhältnis zum Recht der ungeschuldeten Leistung in Mehrparteienverhältnissen unklar ist – im niederländischen Recht ist es als Restitutionsklage strikt getrennt vom bereicherungsrechtlichen Schadensersatzanspruch. Der bereicherungsrechtliche Schadensersatzanspruch begründet eine Haftung bei einer Bereicherung, einer Verarmung, einem Kausalverband zw...
English summary: For a comparative approach in the field of private enforcement, Dutch law offers an interesting variety of legal instruments. The Netherlands not only has the right of collective action in civil law, but also a recent regulation concerning collective redress in mass tort cases. Andreas Mom analyzes the legislation of collective action and the corresponding jurisprudence and examines the similarities and the differences between the Dutch and the German solutions. Of special interest is the Act on Collective Settlement of Mass Damages of 2005, which for the first time provides a judicial collective procedure in order to rationalize and economize mass claims. In addition to the...

In a fresh and original account, Lloyd Freeburn challenges the conventional conception of contracts as the consent-based legal foundation of international sports law. The prevailing legal orthodoxy is shown to be untenable, failing to explain or justify international sports governing bodies’ regulatory power or their control over the livelihoods and liberty of participants in sport. The non-consensual jurisdiction of the Court of Arbitration for Sport is similarly tainted. But this significant challenge is not made simply to undermine international sport’s regulatory regime. A sound legal foundation for regulatory authority in sport is both desirable and necessary. Consequently, effective reform is urgently required to support the regime’s legality and to give it legitimacy by resolving the regime’s democratic deficit.
Empirical legal research is a growing field of academic expertise, yet lawyers are not always familiar with the possibilities and limitations of the available methods. Empirical Legal Research in Action presents readers with first-hand experiences of empirical research on law and legal issues.
This timely book explores the relationship between private law and globalization. It examines the consequences of the fact that law making now takes place in a globalized world which increasingly leads to questions of accountability and legitimacy of the law making process. Within this work, European and South African scholars deal with the relationship between private law and globalization in fourteen innovative chapters, addressing inter alia globalization, democracy and accountability, harmonization versus decentralization, public law issues, corporate governance, procedural issues as well as human rights and the environment. This well-documented and original study will be a valuable resource for academics and legal practitioners as well as students. Specialists in private law, transnational law, international law and legal theory should also not be without this important book.
Drawing on critical theories within and without the international legal discipline, this book offers a fresh approach to the debate on global constitutionalism – an approach that attempts to get beyond the liberal democratic trajectories in which it is currently entrenched.
How do we define compassion? Is it an emotional state, a motivation, a dispositional trait, or a cultivated attitude? How does it compare to altruism and empathy? Chapters in this Handbook present critical scientific evidence about compassion in numerous conceptions. All of these approaches to thinking about compassion are valid and contribute importantly to understanding how we respond to others who are suffering. Covering multiple levels of our lives and self-concept, from the individual, to the group, to the organization and culture, The Oxford Handbook of Compassion Science gathers evidence and models of compassion that treat the subject of compassion science with careful scientific scru...
The use of data in society has seen an exponential growth in recent years. Data science, the field of research concerned with understanding and analyzing data, aims to find ways to operationalize data so that it can be beneficially used in society, for example in health applications, urban governance or smart household devices. The legal questions that accompany the rise of new, data-driven technologies however are underexplored. This book is the first volume that seeks to map the legal implications of the emergence of data science. It discusses the possibilities and limitations imposed by the current legal framework, considers whether regulation is needed to respond to problems raised by data science, and which ethical problems occur in relation to the use of data. It also considers the emergence of Data Science and Law as a new legal discipline.
