Traditional legal concepts, such as court or tribunal, are evolving. The modernization of law contributes to its alignment with the needs of the time when it is applied. Organizational and functional modernization of courts should be oriented towards Europeanization. This must be understood as a broader process than the mere reception of European law and taking over legal institutes from other legal systems without analyzing their actual meaning in the legal order which they are transplanted from, and without assessing whether they are in line with the domestic legal tradition and/or how they are to be included in the national legal system. The authors of this paper analyze key historical aspects in the development of the court system, European standards in defining the concept of a court/tribunal, and the Croatian experience in defining this concept. The authors discuss issues pertaining to the organizational and functional reform of the court system. which organizational structures should be vested with the judicial power and whether it is possible to maintain the principles rooted in classical legal standards.","PeriodicalId":192224,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik radova Pravnog fakulteta Nis","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131416478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first part of the paper presents the attitudes of Serbia, Montenegro and Croatia towards climate change and emergency situations. The author analyzes the laws regulating the field of climate change (from the standpoint of potential relevance for emergency situations) and the laws regulating the field of emergency situations (from the standpoint of potential relevance for climate change). The second part of the paper points to the membership of Serbia, Montenegro and Croatia in relevant international agreements in the field of environment. The author discusses the position that the relationship between the climate change and emergency situations is not regulated in a comprehensive manner, and that this issue has been partially and inconsistently recognized in international law regulations. In that regard, there is room for a significant clarification on their correlations. The character of the links between climate change and emergency situations should be viewed in light of the development of international law and the specific features of the legal systems of the three countries, including their status within the EU integration process.","PeriodicalId":192224,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik radova Pravnog fakulteta Nis","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115668297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This topic has been insufficiently covered both in legal theory and in legal documents, while the case law on this matter is still in the process of development. The current practice of the European Court of Human Rights regarding the right to asylum and health is not uniform, but it is to be expected that relevant case law and changes in the legal framework will ensue in the forthcoming period.","PeriodicalId":192224,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik radova Pravnog fakulteta Nis","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125813237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Avoidance of contract is the last resort remedy applicable in case other remedies are ineffective. Pursuant to Article 25 of the CISG, there are two criteria which must be fulfilled for a fundamental breach of contract to exist. The first criterion is objective; it comprises two conditions: a) there is a breach of obligation defined in the contract or in the CISG; and b) such a breach substantially deprives the other party of what the party is entitled to expect under the contract. The second criterion is subjective: the breaching party has to foresee such a result. Although this criterion is essentially subjective, it contains an objective element, embodied in the use of the reasonable person standard. Hence, even when the breaching party has not foreseen substantial deprivation of the other party as a result of breach, a substantial breach of contract will be deemed to exist if a reasonable person of the same kind in the same circumstances could have foreseen such a result.","PeriodicalId":192224,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik radova Pravnog fakulteta Nis","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130085869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Effectiveness of procedural decisions in first-instance administrative proceedings","authors":"Dejan Vučetić","doi":"10.5937/zrpfn0-33292","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5937/zrpfn0-33292","url":null,"abstract":"The paper analyzes the normative regulation of the procedural administrative decision institute, which was introduced into the Serbian administrative process as a novelty by the General Administrative Procedure Act (GAPA) in 2016. The paper aims to addresses three research questions: to determine the legislator's goal in regulating this insitute, to identify in which situations such a decision has to be made, and to establish how effective that type of decision is. At the beginning of the paper, the author focuses on the concept of effectiveness, including different, mutually opposed, approaches to defining that notion. The author points out the conceptual misunderstanding between efficiency and effectiveness, and their unjustified equalization. The main goal of introducing the institute of procedural administrative decision is the aspiration for greater protection of parties' procedural rights. The analysis of the text of the General Administrative Procedure Act has yielded seventeen basic types of procedural administrative decisions: a decision on rejecting the party's request, a decision not to allow alteration of the party's request, a decision on suspending the procedure, a decision on termination of the procedure, a decision on imposing a fine, decision on request, a decision on execution, a decision on securing the execution, a decision on appointing a temporary representative, a decision on denying representation to a quack lawyer for unlicenced practice of law, a decision on proposal for restitution, a decision on bearing preliminary procedure costs, a decision on exemption from procedure costs, a decision on payment of costs resulting from the absence or unjustified denial of testimony, a decision on compensation for damage to the holder, a decision on the proposal for providing evidence, and a decision on ordering an interim measure. The author concludes that the institute of procedural administrative decision can negatively affect the effectiveness of administrative proceedings due to the possibility of its unnecessary extension.","PeriodicalId":192224,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik radova Pravnog fakulteta Nis","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129086398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many people join various Internet Service Provider's (ISP) sites daily. To do that, they usually have to agree to terms of service (ToS) that govern those sites. These declarations of will are sometimes direct: by clicking 'I agree', a person knows that he/she has agreed to ToS, whether he/she has read them or not. What is more important , a person is aware (or should be aware) that he/she has entered into some sort of an agreement with an ISP-a clickwrap agreement. However, on some Web pages, a person is consenting to the ISP's ToS simply by staying on and browsing the page, which constitutes a browsewrap agreement. These declarations are not direct and a person is often unaware that he/she has entered into an agreement with ISP. Furthermore, ToS often change and an ISP will sometimes not inform users about it. In those instances, users will not be aware of the changes to ToS and that, by continuing to use the ISP's services, they are agreeing to them. These are some examples of will being declared in a digital environment, without the person declaring it being aware of what he/she has done. It seems that, for some reason, people take what happens online less seriously than what happens in a \"physical\" world. This paper will try to show that this is a serious mistake in a digital environment.","PeriodicalId":192224,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik radova Pravnog fakulteta Nis","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127896450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since BLE “borrows” certain findings from psychology (especially from social psychology), it raises the issue of interconnection between these two disciplines, which will be analyzed en passant. The central questions that need to be addressed are whether BLE is a special and sufficiently developed scientific discipline, or is it only a theoretical upgrade over its base (the neoclassical L&E), and what are the practical achievements and significance of its key findings in the field of dispute resolution policy?","PeriodicalId":192224,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik radova Pravnog fakulteta Nis","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123306761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
