The concept of piercing the veil is still undeveloped in Poland, yet it has already drawn some attention from both the judiciary and legal scholars. It will be argued that despite the fact that the three aforementioned jurisdictions belong to different legal traditions, both the cases in which courts decided to pierce the veil and the nature of veil-piercing are similar among the jurisdictions. However, the study shows growing hostility to the doctrine, especially in continental jurisdictions. The arguments for restricting the scope of veil-piercing formulated under the laws of Germany, United States, and England should be taken into consideration in Polish jurisprudence as well.","PeriodicalId":36604,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Law Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47855683","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}

Some developing countries have changed their law of corporate insolvency, implementing legal institutions such as corporate rescue procedures. Comparative law scholars are divided on whether legal transplantation is possible. According to Alan Watson, legal transplantation is easy, whereas Pierre Legrand is of the opinion that it is impossible. Otto Kahn-Freund adopts a more nuanced stance. All three however agree that culture has an influence on the success of legal transplants. Religion, as a component of culture, makes it more difficult to transplant certain legal institutions. This does not mean that it is impossible to adopt one corporate rescue regime in all developing countries. It does however mean that the specific religions can have an influence on the way the new law will be used.","PeriodicalId":36604,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Law Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42154001","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 paper contends that although international law provides for a number of language rights only very few of them can be regarded as universal human rights. First, the paper describes the purpose of language rights protection. Second, it analyses the scope of language rights protection and distinguishes between individual and collective language rights. Third, three basic categories of individual rights addressing language questions are analysed, i.e. procedural linguistic human rights, freedom of expression and nondiscrimination on the grounds of language. Next, language rights of persons belonging to minorities are examined. Finally, the paper concludes that under international law language rights which are universal human rights include linguistic aspects of the right to a fair trial and the right to liberty and security as well as the right of non-discrimination on the grounds of language use in private sphere. The language rights protected otherwise do not fall within the category of human rights and their protection is not universal.","PeriodicalId":36604,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Law Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49368937","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 Directive is about unfair commercial practices, useful in illustrating the phenomenon undertaken by unscrupulous businessmen against consumers. Ten years after the enforcement and entry of this legislation into Italian law, the balance is still not positive because consumers do not seem to be totally protected from the implementation of those devious entrepreneurial strategies designed to mislead the consumer from taking an informed decision of a commercial nature. More specifically, in my study I analyze the lack of legislation, above all on unfair trade practices classified as spam and fake reviews (otherwise known as ‘opinion spam’) against which Italian private law (different from other legal systems) is totally insufficient to protect consumers.","PeriodicalId":36604,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Law Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44538584","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}

That right becomes even more important when the ability to question social and economic rights is limited. That was the case in the Polish constitutional system, among others. Because of the restrictions on the ability to question ESC-rights, the Polish Constitutional Tribunal found “subsistence minimum” as a special type of constitutional value inferred from human dignity which is guaranteed to every person under the Constitution. While giving its judgment, the Polish Constitutional Tribunal made reference to the case law of the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany which inferred “The fundamental right to guarantee a subsistence minimum that is in line with human dignity” from the German Basic Law. That right is of special importance for individuals who live in extreme poverty.","PeriodicalId":36604,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Law Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48991789","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}

Although the Brandenburg doctrine has been criticized, especially with regard to its being applied to the phenomena of racism or xenophobia, its standards can also be detected in the Greek anti-racist Law, which has been recently amended. This Article examines the magic words “imminence”, “public order”, and “incitement to actions” and concludes that mere utterance of racist rhetoric is not punishable. Greek jurisprudence seems to be in line with the Brandenburg principles, tolerating inflammatory words that are harmless to social harmony and peace. This Article further suggests that, for public order to be endangered by hate speech, an in concreto analysis of the surrounding circumstances is necessary. In sum, Brandenburg helps Greek legal thought to understand the dynamic of the disturbance of public order through the “clear and present danger” perspective, while the Greek anti-racist Law offers an example of when and how hate speech may be deemed as an incitement not only to lawless action, but also to actions of hatred and discrimination.","PeriodicalId":36604,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Law Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45443077","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}

From an organisational point of view, companies may be divided between: (1) companies of persons and (2) share companies. Share companies may have either a profit motive or an object of mutual benefit. Share companies with a profit motive are, inter alia, the Joint Stock Companies. This is both: the principal type of company and the most appropriate company structure for large enterprises which involve a considerable capital and the assumption of a notable risk. The peculiar characteristic of this type of company is that the relationship between the company and its shareholders is impersonal and anonymous. The three distinguishing features of the SpA are: first, the liability of the shareholders is limited to their contributions; second, the participation of the shareholder in the company is represented by shares of equal nominal value; and finally, the company must have a minimum capital.","PeriodicalId":36604,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Law Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41286716","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}
