Full textThis thesis is a comparison between the Mexico City Convention and the Rome Convention concerning the Conventions’ scope of application, how the applicable law to a contract is determined, and how the applicable law is affected by mandatory rules and public policy. The two Conventions deal with the question of which country’s law is to apply to a contract with international connections.
The Conventions do in several situations lead to the same outcome as far as the applicable law is concerned. The reason for this is partly that the Mexico City Convention is based on the Rome Convention. However, there are also differences. One difference between the Conventions is the structure used. The wording of the Rome Convention is more detailed than the wording used in the Mexico City Convention. Another difference that exists concerns the characteristic performance test which is not used in the Mexico City Convention. Moreover, the Mexico City Convention is the more recent one of them, something that is notable in certain provisions since another and more modern approach is chosen. A more notable adjustment to the needs of the international trade is chosen.

Full textSettlement in all forms permeate our social relationships. The criminal courts participate in this development despite criticisms of penalties which do not work, of inappropriate procedure and of the over-extention of the criminal law. Such settlements are a means of qualifying and punishing offences. The criminal law sets the limits to the court's powers, in effect removing it, as a reaction to the major imbalance between the contracting parties. Consumer law, competition law, labour law and medical law all show the preoccupation with balancing the contractal relationship; criminal law ensures that the weaker party is informed and his consent is maintained, and that their is no abuse by the stronger party. Thanks to this large body of offences, the criminal court is often confronted by civil law concepts, it may, thanks to its independance, redefine these notions ; of consumers, of legal personality, or rejet spurious arguments (such as the solo consensu transfer of property, or the effect of void contract). The omnipresence of negociated settelments leads the judge to follow contractual principles to resolve the civil action, paying great attention to the damage and the facts in issue. The settlement becomes a method of resolving criminal cases. The prosecution become a tacit agreement. Simplified or fast-track procedures are agreed to by defendant. The punishement is a result of his acceptance (community service orders for example). The prosecution is also agreed, plea-bargains whether approved by the court or not, bring the prosecution to an end. The civil action follows the same patterns with negociated settlements to criminal cases. These consensual procedures illustrate the increasing convergeance of the ideas of punishment and of reparation of damage, and show the increasing use of private settlements of criminal cases

Each participant will be required to assess this convention center in terms of their priorities of expectations and features provided. The results have been evaluated statistically, and significant differences between the level of importance and performance of the facility features have been presented. This research is expected to be useful for constitution of design criteria of convention centers and effective management of the facilities, in terms of both identifying the features of convention centers and providing a method evaluating the performance of the facilities from the users&rsquo

Mah, Geoffrey. "The Warsaw Convention : points of controversy." Thesis, McGill University, 1996. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=23917.
Full textIn the sixty-one years that the Convention has been in force, several points of controversy have arisen in the interpretation of the Convention. Of these, the main controversies are whether carriers are liable for mental injury under Article 17, whether punitive damages may be awarded to victims, and what is meant by willful misconduct under Article 25.
Since there are 126 States party to the Convention, the investigation of the above issues is necessarily multi-jurisdictional. The conclusion of the investigation is that in the course of judicial interpretation by the various courts, applying various approaches and guided by different policy considerations, the Convention has unfortunately become disunified.

Full textTaxpayers can abuse double tax treaties. The primary form of abuse is treaty shopping which defeats the bilateral nature of tax treaties. The concept of tax treaty abuse needs to receive a firm theoretical basis. A comparative study of its mechanism and its elements reveals that tax treaty abuse, form of evasion of law, can be defined as a situation where a taxpayer intentionally invokes a tax treaty in a manner that frustrates the spirit and purpose of the treaty (invoked rule) in order to avoid the application of the domestic rule which gives rise to tax liability (avoided rule). A conflict of norms can arise if the treaty benefit claimed by the taxpayer is disallowed by operation of a domestic anti-avoidance rule. However, the risk of incompatibility is limited due to the deficient nature of tax treaties, heavily relying on domestic law for their application, as well as to the duty to interpret treaties in good faith. The attitude of states with respect to tax treaty abuse is incoherent. On one hand, the number and the diversity of anti-abuse rules becomes ever greater while at the same time there are less business reasons to engage in treaty shopping because of the gradual erosion of source taxation. On the other hand, states do not fight treaty abuse with equal determination. In fact, the United States are the only country to engage in a coherent line of policy against treaty abuse through specific anti-abuse rules

Full textWe propose an analysis of the American financial investors' behaviour to understand two collective phenomena : on the one hand, the emergence and the diffusion of a dominating model of firms' valuation; on the other hand, the speculative dynamics of prices on the stock market. We show that a particular convention of firms' valuation emerges on the market and expresses the influence of investors to impose their requirements for financial profitability and their requirements as regards Corporate Governance. This convention privileges the objective of shareholder value creation. We demonstrate that the formal and cognitive institutions support the emergence and the diffusion of the model of representation shared by the Financial Investors as well as the formation of a financial bubble on the market. We propose the concept of "institutional diffusion of the convention" to recognize the organizing and creative function of institutions on the market

It is time to recognize that while space may be infinite, Earth orbital space is a finite natural resource that must be managed properly. The problem we face with space pollution is complex and serious. The space treaties and conventions are not sufficient. They were drafted at the time of space exploration in the 1960s and 1970s. Today, they fail to account for rapid changes in the field, especially the increasing commercial activity. Moreover, the existing mitigation guidelines remain voluntary and are not legally binding under international law. As a result, space debris tends to accumulate and remains in orbit for a long period of time. A space debris convention is thus warranted. The proposed international convention would have the following objectives: 1) Implement an international and independent tracking and cataloguing system for space debris; 2) Adopt enforceable space debris mitigation and disposal guidelines; 3) Enforce a space preservation provision for protecting the most vulnerable outer space regions and; 4) Define a space debris compensation and dispute settlement mechanism.
(cont.) The convention must bring all together policy-makers and the civil society for addressing this problem; it is also time for the space industry to play its corporate social responsibility and to actively seek to participate to the drafting and implementing of the convention. More than ever, the space debris problem is hindering space commerce, space tourism, the scientific exploration of space, the use of raw materials from space, and even distant plans for the future settlement of space. The possibility of great harm posed by debris should bring all nations and stakeholders together to find the most appropriate solutions.

Ben, Salem Chedly. "Les parties dans la convention d'arbitrage international." Nice, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002NICE0010.
Full textThe international arbitrage stop making, its independence and getting loose from classic rules of the common law. The creation of new concepts as the competence-competence, the autonomy of the arbitration clause, the confidentiality is the proof. In this logic the arbitrators, by basing itself on the internationality of the subject widened the notion of nobody held by the agreement of arbitrage. If this marginalization of the will can justify itself for the persons of private law by the assumption of professionality, because if they get involved to a contract including an arbitration clause, they have to expect a possible extension of the clause which contains it. This marginalization cannot be accepted for the persons of public law. Indeed, the assimilation of the State to trading company is absurd. On the other hand, the problem of the extension and the transmission of the arbitration clause in ayant cause did not put difficulty, here the arbitrators respected the rules of common rights
Binet, Charlyne. "La convention de courtage en matière d'assurance." Thesis, Université Grenoble Alpes (ComUE), 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019GREAA004.
Full textThe insurance brokerage agreement is an insurance mediation contract entered into between an insurance broker and a policyholder for the purpose of entering into or managing an insurance contract which tends to the protection of the client’s insurance interests. It creates a complex operation, the insurance brokerage operation to be realised. Although it is a former and frequent agreement in practice, the insurance brokerage agreement is not well known and its legal classification is uncertain. While some scholars associate this agreement with mandate contract, for others it is a separate agreement without specific legal classification. First, an analytical study of the specificities of the insurance brokerage agreement is carried out. The legal classification of this agreement is thus sought in the light of the prior characterisation of the systemic specificities of the insurance brokerage activity. Furthermore, this activity provides a specific regulatory framework for the insurance brokerage agreement by combining legal rules and private standards and offering a multidisciplinary protection of the policyholder’s insurance interests. Secondly, the search for the influence of the specificities of the insurance brokerage activity allows to identify the legal regime of the contractual relationship between the insurance broker and the policyholder. Appreciated in its bipartite dimension, the insurance brokerage agreement must also be considered in the triangular configuration of the insurance brokerage operation in that it coexists alongside other legal relationships, which induces mutual influences

Full textThree countries in Latin America - Bolivia, Ecuador and Venezuela - have denounced the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of other States. This "wave" of denunciations reflects a negative perception of the arbitration system created by the ICSID Convention, which is described as unbalanced, undemocratic, expensive and discriminatory. In Latin America’s view, ICSID arbitration was created to benefit only to investors at the expense of investments’ host states. This research focuses on the Latin America’s approach on the Washington Convention addressing it in two stages. First, the Latin American economic and legal framework in the early discussions on the draft of the Convention in 1964 and its subsequent adoption in the 1990s will be addressed. Secondly, the subjects that currently arouse the main criticisms to the ICSID arbitration system will be detailed. What are the reasons of change in foreign investment policies in Latin America? Do the countries that denounced the Washington Convention have acceptable reasons for rejecting investments’ transnational arbitration? Did ICSID failed in the performance of its duties? This research aims to answer these questions by analyzing the Washington Convention from the Latin American perspective

Full textSince 1883, the paris convention has been protecting industrial property rights-patents, utility models, industrial designs or models, marks, indications of origin and commercial names- out of their country of origin. The first part relates the story of the convention from its conclusion, in 1883, to the failure of its revision, in the eighties. It insists on the choices made to protect industrial property rights. The convention is individualistic : it takes in consideration persons and protects their subjective rights. It is unitary : it uniformly applies to the unionist states and to their nationals. At last, it is universal : its vocations is to regroup all the countries of the world and to protect all the industrial property rights. These three characteristics enable the treaty to gather about 130 states. In the second part, the propositions of revision made by the signatory countries in the eighties are examined. They deal with the inventor's certificate - which was protecting inventions in the eastern europeand its assimilation to the patnet, the exploitation of patents in less developing countries and the protection of geographic indications. The conclusion is that the failed revision is not in keeping with a weakening of the paris convention. This one stays credible for protecting present and future industrial property rights

The proposed expansion of the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center was approved by the Massachusetts legislature in 2009. In 2010, the governor put the expansion on hold citing an overstated economic impact. Proponents argue that expanding the convention center will lead to increased occupancy and significant economic benefits. But do the benefits outweigh the costs? The first part of this thesis provides an overview of the convention center market in the US as well as two case studies of convention centers that have undergone expansions. The second part closely examines the history and performance of the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center using data from the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority along with data from various other sources to project realistic economic costs and benefits of the expansion as currently proposed.

Full textThis thesis attempts to x-ray the Montreal Convention in the light of its potentials to alleviate the numerous problems of the Warsaw system, including the prospects of its ratification. In the same vein, the inherent deficiencies and imperfections of this new instrument, which might militate against its ratification, have been overtly highlighted for reference. This treatise also analysed the need for developing and African nations to ratify the new convention notwithstanding that their interests were given minimal considerations. The conclusion is a call to all nations, particularly the US, to ratify this new convention without further procrastination, in order to enable it come into force without further delay, lest it become just another relic in the kitty of the very Warsaw System that it sought to replace.
