Consent in the Lawby Deryck Beyleveld; Roger Brownsword
Hart 2007; US$ 126.00In a community that takes rights seriously, consent features pervasively in both moral and legal discourse as a justifying reason: stated simply, where there is consent, there can be no complaint. However, without a clear appreciation of the nature of a consent-based justification, its integrity, both in principle and in practice, is liable to be compromised. This book examines the role of consent as a procedural justification, discussing the prerequisites for an adequate consent -- in particular, that an agent with the relevant capacity has made an unforced and informed choice, that the consent has been clearly signalled, and that the scope of the authorisation covers the act in question. It goes on to highlight both the Fallacy of Necessity... more...

Le brevet sur l'animalby Alexandra Obadia
Presses de l''niversite du Quebec 2001; US$ 16.50À une époque où les progrès biotechnologiques connaissent une croissance fulgurante, les scientifiques préconisent une solution inédite au problème de la pénurie d'organes: la xénotransplantation, c'est-à-dire la transplantation d'organes animaux chez l'être humain. Cet ouvrage est consacré à l'analyse d'une question juridique qui en découle, soit le brevet sur l'animal qui s'inscrit dans le débat plus général du brevet sur le vivant.

La technologie médicale hors-limiteby Christian Saint-Germain
Presses de l''niversite du Quebec 2001; US$ 12.00Doublement ambitieux, l'ouvrage relie un commentaire du travail du plus important juriste francophone moderne, Pierre Legendre, et un problème tragique: celui de pallier par des organes de porc la pénurie des organes humains à greffer. Cette approche inédite tend à faire apparaître le caractère idéologique de ce soin médical de pointe. Il exige en outre du droit un ressaisissement quant à sa portée dogmatique plutôt que sa réduction à une technique secrétariale savante. more...
Haftung bei Umweltschäden: Gefahrtragung und mögliche Versicherungsprodukteby Milan J. Jarosch
Diplomica Verlag 2011; US$ 37.52Hauptbeschreibung Die Haftung für Umweltschäden hat sich in den letzten Jahren deutlich verschärft und stellt insbesondere für Unternehmen ein Existenz bedrohendes Risiko dar. Um diese Risiken für Unternehmen kalkulierbar zu machen, muss zunächst die Haftung, speziell die der EU-Umwelthaftungsrichtlinie und dem daraus resultierenden Umweltschadensgesetz, deutlich gemacht werden, um so ein geeignetes Risikomanagement im Unternehmen zu installieren. Ein wichtiger Risikoträger ist hier die Versicherungswirtschaft, welche mit ihren Haftpflichtprodukten viele der möglichen Risiken auf die so genannte Versichertengemeinschaft überträgt und somit die potenziellen Gefahren für das einzelne Unternehmen begrenzt. Ausgangspunkt ist zunächst eine ökonomische... more...
Perspectives on Causationby Richard Goldberg
Hart 2011; US$ 180.00The chapters in this volume arise from a conference held at the University of Aberdeen concerning the law of causation in the UK, Commonwealth countries, France and the USA. The distinguished group of international experts who have contributed to this book examine the ways in which legal doctrine in causation is developing, and how British law should seek to influence and be influenced by developments in other countries. As such, the book will serve as a focal point for the study of this important area of law.The book is organised around three themes - the black letter law, scientific evidence, and legal theory. In black letter law scholarship, major arguments have emerged about how legal doctrine will develop in cases involving indeterminate... more...
