Company Law
- 2003
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This volume of Scandinavian Studies in Law (Sc.St.L.) addresses legal issues related to company law. The articles cover a number of different areas, especially those concerning limited liability companies. In addition, several problems relating to the interpretation of the European company law directives are analysed. Thus, both national and European perspectives are included. The Scandinavian countries have a long tradition of cooperation in the area of company law. Denmark, Finland and Sweden are members of the EU. Norway and Iceland are linked to the Union via the European Economic Area Agreement. As a consequence, all the Scandinavian countries have harmonized their legislation in accordance with the company law directives, which has brought important consequences for all these countries. Reflecting a broad spectrum of issues currently attracting interest in the Scandinavian countries, as well as in many other European countries which are in the process of adjusting their legislation to the EU standards, this volume of Sc.St.L. provides an important contribution to the international discussion.

Constitutional Law : Constitutions
- 2007
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Constitutions make up the foundations of societies and from a historical point of view there is little doubt that constitutional law and its various manifestations has had a crucial impact on the development of modern society. At a more detailed level constitutions provide meta rules about how state mechanisms and rule-making processes in a given society are intended to function. In this respect constitutional law sets up authoritative frameworks for how the administration is build up, and ultimately determines the nature of the relationship between a state and its citizens. Consequently it is also fair to say that constitutions define important components of national identities. The publication of this volume is well timed. In the European sphere constitutional law is currently much debated, especially as a consequence of the European Union (EU) integration project and its accompanying demands for constitutional revisions and adoption of super governmental principles. The impact of the project is much discussed and the opinions vary. The process also has initiated referendums in several countries, and the recent failure to ratify the new Constitutional Treaty has prompted a renewed debate on the legitimacy of European integration. Simultaneously a number of events in which several constitutional principles appear to clash with religious and ethical concerns have been given much attention in the media. Several recent incidents have also stirred up debates concerning the limits of constitutional principles and the need for revisions. The Danish publication of Muhammad caricatures, frequent clashes between principles concerning freedom of the press versus privacy, minority rights, and the protection of religious freedom are just a few examples of this. In the first part of this 52nd volume of Scandinavian Studies of Law (Sc.St.L.) 17 articles on constitutional law are presented. The second part is a documentation of the second annual conference of the Swedish Institute for European Policy Studies (SIEPS) Why Europe? Possibilities and limits of European integration which was held in Stockholm 16 November 2006. The purpose of the conference was to provide scholarly perspectives on the sources of legitimacy, the democratic credentials and the constitutional alternatives for the EU. The contributions in this section are further elaborations of the speeches delivered at the conference. In addition, in order to provide a background to the discussions, this volume presents English versions of the Constitutions of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Table of Contents: Arajärvi, Pentti, The Finnish Perspective on the Last-Resort Support for Subsistence, p. 17-40 Bergström, Maria, New Modes of Constitution Making: Towards Fewer and More Flexible Provisions?, p. 41-48 Bernitz, Ulf, The European Constitutional Project and the Swedish Constitution, p. 49-64 Bull, Thomas, Blowing in the Wind?

Intellectual Property
- 2002
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Intellectual property has become in recent years an issue which almost everyone has a conscious relation to, partly as a consequence of the digitalisation and the growth of the Internet. It is also obvious that an increasing number of social sectors are becoming affected by problems related to intellectual property, as the technical progress continues. Recent illustrations of this development are provided by the debate about the possibilities of protecting DNA sequences, the increasing awareness of the social impact of granting patents for various medical solutions, and the growing use of the Internet as a medium for transmitting music files. The legal framework covering these issues is multifaceted. It is also noticeable the field is constantly undergoing changes, as various interests are being articulated and challenged. Reflecting several of these aspects this issue of Sc.St.L. provides an overview of many of the issues currently debated in the international arena. The volume also contains a cumulative index for Volumes 1-41 of the series. Table of Contents: Bernitz, Ulf, The EC Directive on Comparative Advertising and its Implementation in the Nordic Countries: Especially in Relation to Intellectual Property, p. 11-29 Bing, Jon, Intellectual Property Exclusive Access Rights and Some Policy Implications, p. 31-48 Domeij, Bengt, Implied Technical Warranties in Patent Licenses, p. 49-64 Hammarén, Anna, The Copyrightability of Stage Direction, p. 65-71 Karnell, Gunnar W.G., European Originality: A Copyright Chimera, p. 73-82 Levin, Marianne, Intellectual Property Rights in Transition: Legal Structures and Concepts in Adaptation to Technological Challenges Towards an Intellectual Property System for the 21st Century: A Nordic-European Research Programme, p. 83-95 Nordell, Per Jonas, The Notion of Originality - Redundant or not?, p. 97-111 Oesch, Rainer, Copyright Liability and the Internet from the Finnish Law Point of View, p. 113-125 Pisuke, Heiki, Building a National Intellectual Property Protection System: Some Issues Concerning Copyright and Related Rights in Estonia, p. 127-145 Rosén, Jan, Server Copyright Liability - Notes on the Swedish Act on Liability for Intermediaries and two Recent Decisions of the Swedish Supreme Court, p. 147-163 Rosén, Jan, Administrative Institutions in Copyright: Notes on the Nordic Countries, p. 165-176 Sandgren, Claes, Interpretation of Patent Claims, p. 177-190 Seipel, Peter, Copyright, Information Technology, and the Edifice of Knowledge, p. 191-215 Strömholm, Stig, Droit Moral - The International and Comparative Scene from a Scandinavian Viewpoint, p. 217-253 Wahlgren, Peter, Cumulative Index Volumes 1-41, p. 293-336 Westerlund, Li, Biotech Patents: Grant Requirements and Scope of Protection, p. 255-289

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The progress of information and communication technology (IT) has surpassed all expectations. IT is affecting almost every aspect of human life and the development can be expected to continue as the technology becomes more advanced and costs continue to drop. The Scandinavian countries have long been in the forefront when it comes to the use of IT, mobile telephones and the Internet. The awareness of technical potentialities is reflected in a longstanding jurisprudential interest in the field. The Swedish Law and Informatics Research Institute traces its origin back to 1968, the Norwegian Research Center for Computers and Law held its first seminar in 1970, and, not surprisingly, the activities in this field are presently more intense than ever. Following this tradition, this volume of Scandinavian Studies in Law presents 27 newly written articles on current legal issues relating to IT. The contributors are all scholars and practitioners active in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Table of Contents: Bing, Jon, Internationalisation and Constant Change, p. 11-30 Blume, Peter, Data Protection in the Private Sector, p. 297-318 Bygrave, Lee A., Privacy Protection in a Global Context - A Comparative Overview, p. 319-348 Galtung, Andreas, The Norwegian Internet Ethical Council, p. 407-419 Halldórsdóttir, Hjördis, The European Union – From Reciprocity to Loyalty, p. 155-172 Hansen, Kim G., Software Patents in Europe, p. 173-201 Helling, Erik, Retrieving the Sources of Legal Decision-Making - Technical Possibilities and Related Legal Issues, p. 531-557 Hreinsson, Páll, Electronic Administration in Iceland, p. 225-243 Kirchberger, Christine and y Olano, Jon Ramón, Issues of Security and Interoperability in Electronic Public Procurement, p. 51-77 Larsson, Conny, Telecom Companies as Crime Investigators, p. 421-449 Larusdottir, Jonina S., Liability of Intermediaries for Copyright Infringement in the Case of Hosting on the Internet, p. 471-490 Lundblad, Nicklas, Privacy in the Noise Society, p. 349-371 Magnusson Sjöberg, Cecilia and Nordén, Anna, Managing Electronic Signatures - Current Challenges, p. 79-95 Maunsbach, Ulf, Some Reflexions Concerning Jurisdiction in Cases on Cross-border Trademark Infringements Through the Internet, p. 493-512 Nielsen, Ruth, Employment and ICT Law, p. 97-110 Olsson, Anders R., Big Brother, Small Sisters and Free Speech: Reanalyzing some Threats to Personal Privacy, p. 373-387 Pöysti, Tuomas, ICT and Legal Principles: Sources and Paradigm of Information Law, p. 559-600 Ramberg, Christina, Electronic Communications under the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, CISG, p. 111-130 Riisnæs, Rolf, Digital Certificates and Certification Services, p. 131-151 Saarenpää, Ahti, E-government and Good Government: An Impossible Equation in the new Network Society?, p. 245-273 Schartum, Dag Wiese, Making Access Rights Operative, p. 275-294 Seipel, Peter, IT Law in the Framework of Legal Informatics, p. 31-47 Still, Viveca, On the Theoretical Foundations of the Principle of Free Flow of Information as Applied to Copyright, p. 203-221 Victorin, Anders, Expropriation for Telecom and Other Infrastructure - the Swedish Experience, p. 513-527 Wahlgren, Peter, IT and Legislative Development, p. 601-618 Wennerström, Erik, EU-legislation and Cybercrime: A Decade of European Legal Developments, p. 451-470 Öman, Sören, Implementing Data Protection in Law, p. 389-403

-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This volume of Scandinavian Studies in Law (Sc.St.L.) Gives an overview of the contemporary discussion of maritime and transport law in the Scandinavian countries. Due to obvious geographical reasons maritime and transport law has always played an important role in the Scandinavian countries. Transports also form an essential part of the Scandinavian economy. As a consequence, Maritime and Transport Law has a long history as an established academic topic in the region. This volume reflects this tradition, as the authors of the thirteen articles that are presented are all prominent academics from different universities in Scandinavia where transport law is studied. In addition to the articles on maritime and transport law this volume also contains a presentation of the Bar associations in the Scandinavian countries Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.

Procedural Law : Court Administrations
- 2007
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Procedural law is an important component of any legal system. The formal rules that make up what in academic settings is recognized as a core element of legal science do not merely provide the framework for how the official processing of the law can be performed. Procedural law also determines the efficiency of the court sector and at the same time its principles provide the outmost protection against violations of the rule of law. Not surprisingly, procedural law is a much debated topic. It is also a vital part of the legal education. This 51:st volume of the Scandinavian Studies in Law presents 26 articles on Scandinavian Procedural Law. The articles have all been written by academic jurists, highly prominent judges and officials active in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. At least two features make the recent development of procedural law in the Scandinavian counties interesting from a broad international perspective. The Scandinavian legal systems exhibit a unique mix of civil and common law traditions, and the judiciaries have in the last decade been profoundly affected by the European Union integration project. In several cases this has resulted in innovative solutions but also given rise to intense debates. In addition to the various articles on procedural law this volume contains presentations of the courts administration bodies in all the Scandinavian countries Table of Contents: Arnardóttir, Oddný Mjöll, Non-discrimination Under Article 14 ECHR: The Burden of Proof, p. 13-40 Backer, Inge Lorange, The Norwegian Reform of Civil Procedure, p. 41-76 Bergholtz, Gunnar, Some Thoughts on Judges' Decision-making, p. 77-89 Bogdan, Michael, The Brussels/Lugano Lis Pendens Rule and the "Italian Torpedo", p. 89-98 Bårdsen, Arnfinn, Reflections on "Fair Trial" in Civil Proceedings According to Article 6 § 1 of the European Convention on Human Rights, p. 99-130 Diesen, Christian, Therapeutic Jurisprudence - an Introduction from a Swedish Perspective, p. 131-162 Eklund, Hans, Article 12 of the UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Procedural Status of Children in Sweden, p. 163-184 Ervasti, Kaijus, Conflicts Before the Courts and Court-annexed Mediation in Finland, p. 185-200 Garde, Peter, The DNA-proof in Practical Danish Criminal Justice, p. 201-214 Heuman, Lars, Objectivity in Swedish Criminal Proceedings, p. 213-228 Jonkka, Jaakko, A Model for the Weighing and Balancing of Interest in the Prosecutor's Legal Discretion, p. 229-262 Kainulainen, Heini, Raped?

Stability and Change in Nordic Labour Law
- 2002
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This volume provides a broad, comparative analysis of the development of Scandinavian labour law over the last decades. The picture of development is one of both stability and change. The institutional framework of Nordic labour relations has remained largely unchanged; employers organisations and trade unions still hold a strong position, and the collective agreement continues to be the principal instrument for regulation of the labour market. But, in other aspects, extensive changes have occurred. Labour law is no longer solely the concern of national legislators and social partners. International influences, especially from the European Community, are important. Further, this volume covers several topics such as equal treatment, employee privacy and temporary-work agencies that would not have been regarded as relevant some thirty years ago. A majority of the contributions were presented at a conference held in Stockholm 2002. Table of Contents: Aarvaag Stokke, Torgeir, Mediation in Collective Interest Disputes, p. 135-158 Bruun, Niklas, The Future of Nordic Labour Law, p. 375-385 Edström, Örjan, Co-Determination in Private Enterprises in Four Nordic Countries, p. 159-188 Eklund, Ronnie, Temporary Employment Agencies in the Nordic Countries, p. 311-333 Fahlbeck, Reinhold, Industrial Relations and Collective Labour Law: Characteristics, Principles and Basic Features, p. 87-133 Hasselbalch, Ole, The Roots - the History of Nordic Labour Law, p. 11-35 Júlíusdóttir, Lára V., Icelandic Labour Law, p. 357-374 von Koskull, Anders, Employment Privacy Protection - Nordic Comparative Perspectives, p. 335-356 Källström, Kent, Employment Agreements and Contract Work in the Nordic Countries, p. 77-86 Malmberg, Jonas, The Collective Agreement as an Instrument for Regulation of Wages and Employment Conditions, p. 189-213 Nielsen, Ruth, Nordic and EU Labour Law, p. 37-75 Numhauser-Henning, Ann, Fixed-term Work in Nordic Labour Law, p. 277-310 Roseberry, Lynn, Equal Rights and Discrimination Law in Scandinavia, p. 215-256 Sigeman, Tore, Employment Protection in Scandinavian Law, p. 257-275 Wahlgren, Peter, Legal Abbreviations, p. 393-415

Tax Law
- 2003
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This volume comprises twenty-four articles covering many different areas of national and international taxation. Both income taxation and issues related to indirect taxes, such as real estate tax, net wealth tax, etc., are discussed. In addition, problems related to personal income taxation, the taxation of companies, and the ongoing European harmonisation of Value Added Taxes and excise taxes are addressed. Several contributors share with the reader a wealth of practical experience concerning enforcement, tax reforms, and the ongoing internationalisation. The Scandinavian countries all have comprehensive social welfare systems and huge public sectors - this has resulted in high standards for social security, but also in some of the world's highest taxes. As a consequence, Scandinavian tax laws are frequently debated in the political arena. In this repsect, this collection also provides an interesting contribution to the international discourse.
