The Carriage of Goods in Swiss Law by Vesna Polić Foglar Pdf

The Swiss legal regime differs considerably from the regimes of its neighbouring countries. Swiss law on the carriage of goods is based on the provisions of the Code of Obligations from the early 20th century. Some other laws, various ordinances and international conventions that govern different modes of transportation also apply. All this makes this field of law complex – not only for non-Swiss professionals. This book gives a comprehensive overview of the contract of carriage and the carriers' and freight forwarders' liability, the insurance of goods and of liability, the jurisdiction of Swiss courts and the possibilities of recourse actions. The Carriage of Goods in Swiss Law provides valuable knowledge to properly handle transport business, claims and insurance. It offers reflections on the shortcomings and the development of Swiss laws and regulations. Written for practitioners and lawyers in the country and abroad, the book can serve to all those whose claims may be decided before a Swiss court. Vesna Polić Foglar is an of-counsel in Zurich with over 20 years of experience. She specialises in Swiss transport law, the international carriage of goods, transport insurance and in dealing with transport claims.

Declining Jurisdiction in Private International Law by J. J. Fawcett Pdf

The subject of declining jurisdiction in private international law is one of enormous practical importance and academic interest. It is also a topic where a comparative approach is particularly revealing. This book contains the 17 national reports and the general report on the subject of`Rules for declining to exercise jurisdiction: Forum Non Conveniens, Lis Pendens'. The Reports were held in Athens/Delphi in August 1994. The list of nations for which a report has been prepared is as follows: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Quebec, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece,Israel, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, and USA.This book by bringing together all the reports on `Declining Jurisdiction' provides a unique insight into this topic, and, dealing as it does with a key aspect of private international law, fits very well into the Oxford series of monographs on private international law.

Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road by Chiara Tincani Pdf

This book discusses the intensification of international transport services as the consequence of an increasingly capillary economic integration. In particular, in some European countries, such as Belgium, the Rhine area of Germany, and Denmark, the application of the Geneva Convention on the carriage of goods from the case law point of view is even more thorough than that of national law. Even though this is not the case for all countries, the Geneva Convention is a core text both for the scientific debates on the issue and for commercial operators. Therefore, proposing an up-to-date reading of the Convention is of utmost importance from the practical point of view, especially considering that, thanks to the consistent application of the International Carriage of Goods by Road contract, the Convention has become an essential prerequisite for the development of traffic. In ten chapters, this book reviews the Convention's structure and considers the case-law approaches and trends of most countries belonging to the European Union. It covers contracts and different negotiating models as well as compensation, liability of the carrier, and damages.

Blockchain and Private International Law by Andrea Bonomi,Matthias Lehmann,Shaheeza Lalani Pdf

The open access publication of this book has been published with the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation. Blockchain is the first global mechanism for the transfer and storage of value. Despite being conceived as an alternative to state and law, the technology and its use cases raise many legal questions, most notably, regarding jurisdiction and applicable law with respect to transactions and assets recorded on the blockchain. The issue is complex given the decentralised nature of the network. In this volume, academics and practitioners from various countries try to provide detailed answers to these questions as they relate to crypto-assets, cryptocurrencies, crypto derivatives, stablecoins, Central Bank Digital Currencies and Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs), as well as specific transactions and issues, such as property rights, secured transactions, smart contracts and bankruptcy. With specific chapters on national approaches (Germany, Japan, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, United States), the volume explores the need and possibility for legal harmonisation of these issues through global fora, such as the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) UNIDROIT.
